Bill Clinton Faces Contempt of Congress for Skipping Epstein Deposition
Will Hillary show up tomorrow?
Oh, boy.
President Bill Clinton defied a subpoena to give a deposition regarding Jeffrey Epstein in front of the House Oversight Committee.
The sworn closed-door deposition should have happened at 10 AM ET.
Chairman James Comer is not happy:
Well, I think everyone knows by now Bill Clinton did not show up, and I think it’s important to note that this subpoena was voted on in a bipartisan manner by this committee. This wasn’t something that I just issued as chairman of the committee. This was voted on by the entire committee in a unanimous vote of the House Oversight Committee to subpoena former President Clinton and former Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton.
Now Hillary Clinton is supposed to show up tomorrow. We’ll see what happens there.
But with respect to the former president, he did not show up today. One reason I think most Americans want President Clinton to answer some questions is because he [Epstein] visited the White House. Jeffrey Epstein visited the White House 17 times while Bill Clinton was President. I’ve been in Congress nine years. I think I’ve been to the White House nine times in nine years. Epstein was in the White House double the amount of time that I was under one president, and then we know that Bill Clinton flew on Epstein’s playing somewhere around 27 times after the presidency.
So no one’s accusing Bill Clinton of anything, any wrongdoing. We just have questions, and that’s why the Democrats voted along with Republicans to subpoena Bill Clinton.
Not a single Democrat showed up today. Not a single Democrat, the ones that have press conferences on the Capitol steps and talk about how they’re trying to get justice for the victims and all that, it just seems like they only care about questioning Republicans. And we’ve had, we’ve had a former Trump cabinet secretary, [Labor Secretary Alexander] Acosta, in for a grilling. We had Bill Barr, former attorney general, in for a grilling, but for whatever reason, President Clinton didn’t show up, and the Democrats on the committee don’t seem to have a have a problem.
This is the amount of preparation that went into this deposition today. These were the questions that we were prepared to ask. We’ve communicated with President Clinton’s legal team for months now, giving them opportunity after opportunity to come in to give us a day, and they continue to delay, delay, delay to the point where we had no idea whether they’re going to show up today or not.
I think it’s very disappointing as a result of Bill Clinton not showing up for his lawful subpoena, which again was voted on it unanimously by the committee in a bipartisan manner.
We will move next week in the House Oversight Committee markup to hold former President Clinton in contempt of Congress.

a strongly worded letter will be sent.
other then that nada.
Sad, but true. Congress is a toothless hound.
Lock him up, and then put Her Majesty in the same cage with him after she ignores her subpoena tomorrow.
Sir, regardless of your opinion of Mr. Clinton or if he deserves to be prosecuted for defying the subpoena he still had the constitutionality protected right against cruel & unusual punishment.
For the love of God man! Has he not suffered enough?
Mmmm…no, he hasn’t.
I second that.
By marrying her he waived the right not to be subjected to that punishment.
My argument is that lasting that long with Hillary shows he can take any punishment. If people wonder why he was in a hot tub with someone and flew down to Epstein’s Island just take a look at cankles.
Hilldog: “Subpoenas, ha, ha. All it takes is a hammer, and some Bleach Bit.”
“What subpoena? I do not recall. Ha ha!”
Hillary Clinton

In the United States of America, no one is above the law.

She forgot to add: “Except for me”.
Didn’t they lock up Roger Stone and Steve Bannon for contempt/failing to turn up?? 🤔
Pretty much. The d/prog moved the Overton window on the willingness/acceptability of vigorous prosecution for those who defy a Congressional subpoena/commit perjury in Congressional testimony. No whining from the d/prog and pearl clutching crowd screeching about ‘norms’ when the same standard gets applied to their favorite people.
and Peter Navaro?
But not Eric Holder…
It is a shame the plane carrying Bill and Hil crashed into a hill on final approach. Ron Brown knew.
its like
another stain on his legacy
LOL!
And nothing will happen
Well, Bill IS meeting for drinks tonight with Eric Holder at the Contempt of Congress Club.
Just another item in their bucket list of screwing the democratic republic!
Play by their rules put them in jail like Bannon
Why do I feel like this will be yet another case of “nothing ever happens.”
C’mon. Like he wouldn’t just lie about having sex with minors? Just like last time.
I wanted to see them ask him if he still had the blue dress he posed in for that portrait.
This is the modern United States. Today powerful Leftists and Protected Classes are functionally above the law the rest of us are subject to. Nothing will be done.
Subotai Bahadur
When wasn’t it the case that the powerful and monied were mostly exempt.
So? Bill Clinton has been in contempt of America for decades.
He went to Epstein Island, but he didn’t inhale.
Swallow would have been funnier.
That would be Obama.
Nothing will happen to either Clinton, the Democrats Propaganda Ministry will cover them and the Democrats won’t lay a finger on them.
I guess Bill decided that it’s better to go to jail for contempt than for boinking a minor
Will be an interesting contempt vote for the house Dems. Pinned into double double standards Epstein and contempt.
Not a single Democrat showed up today
Gee, not even the mentally ill fellow, McBride was there to play peek-a-boo, asking “Where are all the democrats?”
And after doing such a fine job of making an azz of himself, during the shutdown, failing to note that none of his gang of thieves were in the halls of Congress, either.
Since the Dems established the rule that you can indeed be thrown in jail for contempt of Congress and they have been screaming about “The Epstein Files” because they think they will somehow hurt Trump it will be interesting to see how they twist like a pretzel on this one.
Sure would be poetic justice if Hilldog escaped testifying by committing suicide.
BJ Clinton deserves prison time for thinking with his penis.
