Red State

[. . .]

I suspect my interest in politics began with Watergate, with that historic event.

Now, we’re seeing an equally historic event. And the legal wranglings are beginning: On Wednesday, the House Oversight Committee voted to direct the Chairman of that committee, Rep. James Comer (R-KY), to subpoena Bill and Hillary Clinton, James Comey, Loretta Lynch, Eric Holder, Merrick Garland, Robert Mueller, William Barr, Jeff Sessions, and Alberto Gonzales, seeking testimony on the Epstein affair.

Subpoenas will be issued in the near future.

One wonders how near that future is.

A House panel voted in favor of subpoenaing former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Wednesday.

Rep. Scott Perry, R-Pa., offered a motion during a House Oversight Committee subcommittee hearing to call on Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., to subpoena people with possible links to Ghislaine Maxwell, the imprisoned former associate of late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

“I have a motion to subpoena the following individuals to expand the full committees investigation into Miss Maxwell – and the list reads as follows: William Jefferson Clinton, Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton, James Brian Comey, Loretta Elizabeth Lynch, Eric Hampton Holder, Jr., Merrick Brian Garland, Robert Swan Mueller III, William Pelham Barr, Jefferson Beauregard Sessions the third, and Alberto Gonzales. That’s the full list, Mr. Chairman. And that’s the motion,” Perry said.

The motion passed by voice vote, meaning there was not an individual roll call.

House Oversight also voted to subpoena the Epstein documents, by a vote of 8-2.

Hillary Clinton is probably, even now, standing in front of a mirror, practicing saying, over and over, “I don’t recall.”
