Congressional Republicans are threatening to hold Bill and Hillary Clinton in contempt of Congress after the Democratic former president and presidential candidate refused to testify in a GOP-led House probe into Jeffrey Epstein.

blistering letter from the Clintons to House Oversight Committee chair James Comer states that “every person has to decide when they have seen or had enough and are ready to fight for this country, its principles and its people, no matter the consequences.”

      I know you are unserious and not worth responding to individually. But for those reading in ernest.

      Clinton called for the full release of the Epstein files. Something the people wanting to depose him have been cleared to do. But refused. Instead of choosing to actually look at seriously implicated persons. (Trump, Bannon etc) They’re falling back on their main crutch of the last 40 years. Attack and smear the Clinton’s. The GOP’s greatest hits. Bill should be no ones hero. And bears a genuinely huge responsibility himself for how enshitified and degraded things have gotten. But he’s absolutely correct not to play GOP Calvin ball.

          Yes, Bill Clinton is by no means a good person. But I would legitimately have a lower opinion of him if he let himself get played voluntarily like that. Especially by such a lawless administration.
