Bill and Hillary Clinton Refuse to Testify Before a US Congressional Committee in the Jeffrey Epstein Case. The House Committee Says It May Move to Hold Them in Contempt of Congress
I mean… duh. Anyone with half a brain can see that Congress is only subpoenaing them to try to draw the focus away from Trump. If Congress was actually looking for information, Trump is listed way more than Clinton is in the various documents.
Beyond that, the last several years have shown that it’s totally fine to ignore congressional subpoenas (not to mention the precedent being set that Presidents are basically immune to any legal consequences, regardless of whether or not their crimes were committed as part of their duties as president or not). There is basically no upside to them agreeing to testify.
Why are so many people associated with the US government so unwholesome? Why can't we be ruled by competent, intelligent, wholesome people devoted to serving the needs of the citizens? Honestly, is that too much to ask?
Those in office now have all somehow held up to the "scrutiny of holding public office" and yet look at them! How low can our standards for holding public go?
The chuckleheads in office now have all somehow held up to the "scrutiny of holding public office" and yet look at them! How low can our standards for holding public go?
Character assassination runs deep. It’s why big companies are spending billions for every scrap of digital data they can compile on any individual.
Reddit history, pornhub views, Twitter shit, FB posts and market buys, Instagram/Kik/Vine/TikTok data, it’s all to undermine you the individual should you become to weary of the chains they have on you.

Any honest person is a complex person. Such people generally don't hold up to the scrutiny of holding public office these days.
