The Clintons are political animals; everything they do is with a political strategy at the forefront of their thinking. What Bill and Hillary needed was to provide an excuse for Democrats on the House Oversight Committee to vote against holding them in contempt. That’s what Bill and Hillary have done.
In a somewhat opaque last-minute agreement to testify to the House about their involvement with Jeffrey Epstein, rules and limits still to be decided, Bill and Hillary Clinton have simply attempted to stop/stall the House from holding them in contempt.
WASHINGTON DC – Bill and Hillary Clinton have agreed to testify before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee as part of the panel’s investigation into convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
It’s a remarkable reversal for the former president and secretary of state, who had defied committee-issued subpoenas and risked imprisonment by the Trump Justice Department as the House prepared to vote Wednesday to hold them in contempt of Congress.
After both skipped their scheduled depositions earlier this year, the Oversight Committee voted on a bipartisan basis in January to approve a contempt measure for each of them.
Although both have said they had no knowledge of Epstein’s crimes, they have maintained that the subpoenas were not tied to a legitimate legislative purpose, rendering them invalid. They also argued that the GOP-led exercise was designed to embarrass and put them in jail.
It is not immediately clear when they would appear and if the House will continue to go ahead with the contempt votes anyway.
“The Clintons’ counsel has said they agree to terms, but those terms lack clarity yet again and they have provided no dates for their depositions,” House Oversight Chair James Comer said in a statement Monday. “The only reason they have said they agree to terms is because the House has moved forward with contempt. I will clarify the terms they are agreeing to and then discuss next steps with my committee members.” (read more)
“I don’t recall”. “I don’t remember it that way”. “I’ll take the 5th”. Those are going to be the answers. Remember that little tune Rush had on his radio show when hitlery was testifying before congress years ago? “….. My minds in blender, it’s jello”.
Right.
Obviously Presidential timber.
Yup, that is what I expect. Just like the old show testimonies from the mobsters.
“I did not have sexual relations on that island. Epstein island.”
Why am I featured in a blue dress? I don’t remember…..
“…is, is.”
And because they’re still married (on paper at least) they can’t be compelled to testify against each other.
See the clowns, ride the camels, breathe the helium!!! Come to the circus and enjoy the show!!!
“At this point, what does it matter.”
-HRC
what difference does it make…hopefully seeing the former POTUS and first lady wearing orange….
Neither will ever spend a day in jail.
So what? The goal is not to put people in jail but to win the midterms.
Add these optics to Ilhan et. al. and the Atlanta raid and what’s brewing in CA and you can see the noose formed by the smell of corruption that is beginning to tighten around the Democrats’ collective necks.
I do hope you are correct.
A mountain of corruption investigations and a few felonyy convictions, fraud, money laundering, media surveillance, the Jan 6 stuff.
The Dems see a major shitstorm brewing. Let it roll !
I still want to see them in jail.
Put them in the same cell.
THAT ought be entertaining.
LOL
Sorry cas… putting corrupt politicians in jail will win the midterms… Being afraid to arrest, indict and put them on trial will lose the midterms…
rosey glasses?
never fear, hell awaits them both. justice will come soon.
Bill’s nickname has been “slick Willie” since 1980 when he gave a speech at the state Democratic convention in Arkansas.
This is a joke and will and ammo for the Marxist for the midterms and republicans are working to sacrifice them.
Everyone knows not one damn thing will come of this kabuki theatre.
You should listen to Dan Bongino, he would give you a downvote, TOO, if available.
This is beyond ridiculous.
We agree to the terms that we don’t understand.
“You have to approve the bill, to see what’s inside”
I hope the committee won’t ask Hillary and Bill about the Russia-gate hoax.
Hillary and Bill weren’t employed by the government when Trump ran for his first term.
Their staff made up the Russia-Trump collusion scandal. They exploited it to defeat Trump.
But, regardless their fake political hit job, American voters were ready for someone who was an outsider to government and a successful businessman.
Frankly speaking, the American electorate have been waiting since Calvin Coolidge for a businessman to run the gummint.
Politicians shouldn’t be allowed to run anything. They already run off their mouths too much.
If they haven’t made payroll they are IMO unqualified.
Hillary was involved with providing FAKE evidence that was used to attempt to overthrow the gov’t….TREASON ..FOUR ILLEGAL FISA WARRANTS…both barry soetoro and hillary clinton, along with dozens more, knew those warrants were illegal and moved forward with them….TREASON
I will take conviction on any of their many crimes, I just want to see them in orange jumpsuits. Hung for treason is probably outside the realm of possibilities. Personally, Obama did me the most harm by voiding catastrophic health insurance, when I was being rolled off Cobra. But, aside from him, Bill and Hill were disgusting.
It depends on what smashing your Obama SOS home server is!
This is a guy who couldn’t clearly agree to a definition of “is” so of course it is about the terms.
Somewhere a moist, now mildewed cigar begs to differ, Bill.
Haiti looks like it should be a Clinton refuge… should ease right in.
This is ridiculous at best. With all the crimes the Clinton’s have committed … easily provable in a court of law … this is what they’re subpoenaed for? It’s all a play for our benefit. Republicans are vile.
none of these oversight hearings have legal teeth w bondi in office, yet comer and his crew have wasted hundreds of millions in taxpayer moneys on them for dramatic theatre and reelection votes… clintons r pure evil
The Clinton’s contribution to US History has been documented. Nothing informative will come from anything the congress does.
Since Republicans are incapable of doing anything useful, they’re gonna waste our time with this BS. They really are the stupid party.
I know we’re supposed to pray for our enemies, but, oh, how I despise these two!
Ok:
I pray they suffer an eternity of pain.
May God bless the Clinton’s and remove them speedily from any proximity to power over us or anyone but themselves.
May God bless the Bush’s and remove them speedily from any proximity to power over us or anyone other than themselves.
May God aid me in forgiving my enemies and May He forgive me my sins.
Thanks for reminding me, James.
Acts 26:18
To open their eyes, that they may turn from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sin.
I don’t know anything positive that could be an outcome.
Perhaps if Hilldog gets thrown in the back of a van.
They are both traitors. They are both guilty of High Treason. This country can withstand enemies from the out side, these two are but a few of the enemies within the gates of this country. We are truly the Rome of our times. Eh Tu Brutus?
“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.” ― Taylor Caldwell,
“Taylor Caldwell”??? AKA: Marcus Tullius Cicero ???

When will people ever realize the Clintons and the Obama‘s are above the law? The Republicans are gonna wimp out as usual they will never hold them in contempt even with the majority, they will shoot themselves in the foot because of RINOS!
They will say “I don’t recall” a thousand times or they will plea the 5th.
80 and 79 years of age. One more go at national attention, hopefully it will be humiliating and embarrassing for both of them!
Bill, can you explain to us this painting of you in a dress found on Epstein Island. Humiliation and embarrassment is all we can hope to happen to, BILL and HILLARY CLINTON.
But Gods judgment is in their future and not too far off being they are 80 and 79.
Yes, theater of the decrepit. Both sides. Sundance has shown us time & time again how useless these congressional testimonies are. At least on the GOPe are. Dems are more effective. Take Navarro & Bannon for instance.
There must be a parody in here somewhere.
Same answers as George Crapanopolous gave years ago.
May they, jointly and severally, rot in prison. Other than that, “Saul Goodman”.
Alternatively, since they have had such a successful relationship with Haiti, deport them there.
If happens … It will be the typical Clinton testimony.
It will not be sworn testimony.
The two standard answers: “I do not remember” and the taking the 5th.
But hey … they will be then be able to claim they “testified”.
Evidence has been gathered.
No date is known on a (separate) appearance to Congress.
There is an opportunity to add clarity to the evidence, but
the politicians ( pro dc obfuscators gallore / training video )
will not volunteer clarity of truth
while playing pretend with an assortment of words, (not actions)
to maybe avoid a contempt of congress aye vote
(which would go on their public record, pending a future pardon / expunging of record ).
Their appearance(s) (separately)
would be intended to go towards changing the minds of a few congress people, or not,
prior to a vote on contempt of Congress.
Evidence has already been gathered.
imho
Love thy neighbors
The notion that justice might come from a Congressional hearing is, quite frankly, insanity. The People want prosecutions; the politicians want the Peoples’ votes; the Clinton’s want to avoid jail…it’s all legal theatre.
Take the vote.
It’s all about the process, never the crime. That’s the “punishment”.
It depends on what the meaning of the word ‘is’ is,”
“At this point, what does my testimony matter?”
Good to see the Clintons still control every situation. Tells us the uni party is still in control. Which means the doj, fbi and treasury are still corrupt.
Clock is ticking while doj spokesperson Bondi continues incompetently.
Slick willy says, “It depends on what is…is.”
Hillery says, “It takes a village.”
So my conclusion:
Is you is or is you ain’t gonna testify?
The village people of DC will not isatate to help you.
Alot of rules in place to keep her from answering ANY questions about Russian Collusion scam… That’s what they want limits on…
The Clinton’s won’t remember anything.
