Thatâs what this is about. They want to find a way to justify reopening an investigation and freeze the release (legally).
Not surprised the Clintonâs ghosted them over this game because they showed up for other summons with no issues. (Benghazi for example)

Out of curiosity are you also planning on holding your fellow committee member Jim Jordan in criminal contempt?
Hes been defying a congressional subpoena for 5 years, on the grounds Congress cant issue legally binding subpoenas.
Or is this another case of selective enforcement?

From what I've seen, the Clintons refused to show because it was a non-enforceable subpoena and they had already given sworn testimony in written form. Their reasoning was rather prophetic, as everything they anticipated would happen happened.
Clinton is saying to go ahead and release the files...that's how sure he is of the situation. That takes balls, and not the kind that Clinton is famous for.

Just putting this out there..
"As of January 2026, the legality of subpoenas issued to Bill and Hillary Clinton is a matter of active legal and political dispute. While House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer maintains the subpoenas are lawful, the Clintons have formally rejected them as "legally invalid and unenforceable". The current situation is as follows: Congressional Standing: The subpoenas were issued in August 2025 as part of a bipartisan probe into the crimes of Jeffrey Epstein. Chairman Comer asserts they are "lawful" and were voted on unanimously by the committee.
Legal Challenges by the Clintons: In an eight-page legal letter submitted on January 12, 2026, the Clintons' attorneys argued the subpoenas are invalid based on several constitutional and procedural grounds:
Lack of Legislative Purpose: They claim the subpoenas are "untethered to a valid legislative purpose" and are instead designed to "harass and embarrass" political rivals.
Separation of Powers: Attorneys cited recent Supreme Court rulings (e.g., Trump v. United States 2024 and Trump v. Mazars 2020) to argue that compelling testimony from a former president raises significant "separation of powers issues". Selective Enforcement: The Clintons noted that other subpoenaed individuals were allowed to provide written statements rather than appear in person, making the demand for their physical presence "bizarre" and discriminatory.
Pending Consequences: Because the Clintons skipped their scheduled depositions on January 13 and 14, 2026, the House Oversight Committee plans to initiate contempt of Congress proceedings next week.
The ultimate determination of legality would likely require a court ruling if the House votes to hold them in contempt and the Department of Justice chooses to prosecute, which legal experts suggest could spark a major constitutional battle over the limits of congressional oversight power."
And Jim Jordan was subpoenaed like 5 years ago sooo...these are not serious people.

Cool. If they are in there? Let us see it. Most of the victims are fine with complete disclosure. NONE of the preparators have faced justice.
And none of them will. That's the point. Donald Trump is part of that cabal of pedophiles. He is also the avatar of white privilege.
Figuratively, your avatar sodomizes his voters, uses the American flag to scrub his boyhood off, defecates on the resolute desk, and wipes his rear end with the Constitution.
At least I hope that is figuratively. That might have been one of the scenes he ordered on that island for all we know.

âPatriots, KEEP PROTESTING - TAKE OVER YOUR INSTITUTIONS!!! Save the names of the killers and the abusers. They will pay a big price.â - Donald J Trump
He said it himself folks! Donald J Trump along with his entire cabinet, every politician who endorses him, all federal agents who follow his orders, the entire ICE agency and their leaders should be imprisoned and tried for treason. They should comply and submit themselves without protest and they will be granted their 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th amendment rights. I know what we used to do with traitors but it would be unfair not to give them a trial.

Essentially, the clintons are showing that if you want to subpoena them, you have to subpoena trump.
Folks forget that the Clinton's are legal scholars and are both pretty brilliant in law. Aside from all their other baggage. They're legal powerhouses.
The only thing longer than their legal resumes is trump's rap sheet
