Under Threat of Criminal Contempt, Bill and Hillary Clinton "Agree" to "Testify" about Jeffrey Epstein... But Won't Set a Date to Testify

They claim that they'll testify -- but it's a stalling tactic. Now they want to set up a date for their testimony, but they can't commit to any particular date.

So this is more contempt.

Even if it happens, it will be a festival of perjuries that will make "it depends on what the meaning of 'is' is" look bush-league.

With a contempt vote looming on Capitol Hill, former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have finally agreed to sit for depositions before the House Oversight Committee as part of its investigation into Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.

The development surfaced Monday during a House Rules Committee hearing, when Rep. James Walkinshaw (D-VA) disclosed that the Clintons had accepted the basic terms laid out by Oversight Chairman James Comer. A spokesman for Bill Clinton confirmed the agreement, while attorney Angel Ureña wrote on X that the former president and former first lady "will be there" and are prepared to testify under oath.

According to the New York Times, the Clintons said they would appear on mutually agreeable dates and asked House leaders to drop a contempt vote slated for Wednesday. The request followed months of defiance of Comer's subpoenas, issued Aug. 5, 2025, after both Clintons skipped prior deadlines to provide testimony. That standoff prompted a bipartisan revolt on the Oversight Committee, with nine Democrats joining Republicans to back contempt proceedings against Bill Clinton and three Democrats supporting contempt for Hillary Clinton.

Comer was unimpressed by the latest overture, arguing it arrived only because the House was closing in on enforcement. In a statement, he said the Clintons' lawyers had again failed to provide dates and warned that the terms remained vague. Earlier Monday, he rejected a proposal that would have capped Bill Clinton's testimony at four hours and substituted a sworn statement from Hillary Clinton, calling the bid for limits "special treatment" and "an affront" to public demands for transparency.

...

If prosecutors were to pursue contempt and secure convictions, the penalties could include jail time of up to one year and fines ranging from $100 to $1,000. For now, Comer has said he will seek clarity on the Clintons' commitments before deciding how to proceed.

Yeah they're not showing up. You're being chumped, Hoss.

How is everyone? Is the low humidity a problem for you? Because I keep waking up due to dry mouth. I haven't had a good night's sleep in more than a week and the sleep debt is piling up.

(Yes I know, I have to get my humidifier out of storage, but that only helps a little.)

I'm playing injured here, coach. Don't expect too much from me today.
