US politicians have subpoenaed former president Bill Clinton and former secretary of state Hillary Clinton for testimony on Jeffrey Epstein, in a major escalation of the controversy surrounding the investigation into the notorious sex offender.

“By your own admission, you flew on Jeffrey Epstein’s private plane four separate times in 2002 and 2003,” committee chairman James Comer wrote to former president Clinton.

“During one of these trips, you were even pictured receiving a ‘massage’ from one of Mr Epstein’s victims.

“It has also been claimed that you pressured Vanity Fair not to publish sex trafficking allegations against your ‘good friend’ Mr Epstein, and there are conflicting reports about whether you ever visited Mr Epstein’s island.”

Other officials targeted by the panel include former FBI director James Comey, former special counsel Robert Mueller and ex-attorneys general Loretta Lynch, Eric Holder, Merrick Garland, Bill Barr, Jeff Sessions, and Alberto Gonzales.

Their depositions will take place between mid-August and mid-October. Mr Comer also issued a subpoena to the Justice Department for records related to Epstein — including its communications with Trump’s predecessor Joe Biden and his officials.

House Oversight Committee Democrats, backed by some Republicans, approved a subpoena in July for the Justice Department to hand over documents.

Why are house republicans refusing to release the Epstein files?

Better to ask yourself how does ol orange F A T T Y lose control of the Republican party? Arguably, not until he dies. He will not be impeached. There are not enough votes to impeach, even if there is actual direct evidence that he raped children as young as 12 years of age.

The Republicans in Congress will not turn on him in significant numbers. Colorado's own Republican representative dipshit Gabe Evans is a case in point. Does Evans want to lose in the primary? If so, he can defy Trump. Does he want to risk losing in the general? He is probably an underdog, but he won once with Trump, so he will probably stick with the horse that brought him to water. The only things that will cause Republicans to defy Trump is a sense of decency, and a commitment to their oath to the Constitution.

And we all now how much Republicans live to wipe their F A T asses with the Constitution.

Democrats are calling for the release of the Epstein files and Republicans are blocking the move....Why would Republicans be worried about the release of the Epstein files to the public unless they have something to hide....There is no doubt crimes were committed by powerfull people who are now being protected by the Republicans and their Speaker....Now everyone involved (accept Trump) is being called to give evidence including Ex Presidents who had no connection to Epstein....Trump knew Epstein better than most people whilst he was at the peak of his offending....What are the GOP so worried about???

Johnson Cuts Short House Business to Avoid Vote on Releasing Epstein Files

The Republican speaker truncated the legislative schedule for the week ahead of a summer recess, moving to deny Democrats the chance to force votes on whether to release the Epstein material.

Ivanka was such a hottie back then, Greggery. Cute as a button, no?

Just think, in a few years time, the big fella would be dating her.

The incels are soooo jealous. Why can't they get porkable intimate partners like that?

It's perfectly understandable, Marla. Mr Trump thought the fake news said Kash employed a guy called Burn Bhag.

It's just a simple misunderstanding, that's all. You know, like when Sleepy Joe said he'd killed Medicare. There was no coming back from that one, dear.

The big fella's getting on, you understand. It's easy to lose things and mix stuff up. Dan Bongino lost a whole minute of video tape. It's bound to turn up eventually, I'm sure.

Look, it's getting silly. Let's move on from this nonsense, shall we? Mr Trump has important things to do.

He's got another three elite golf clubs to open over the next few weeks, then there's his meme coin deals, his Trump phone plan, his Chinese watches and even his limited edition Trump coin, a real collector's item, believe me. People buy them to display in their homes, it's nice.

Mr Trump's seen it. Recently, he visited an old couple in Warsaw, Missouri. He does this quite regularly, just popping in to meet the subjects, as you do. They kept their Trump collection in a place of pride, right next to their unread Bible. Mr Trump remembers details like that. They came up to him, tears in their eyes, asking him to pray over them.

Mr Trump closed his eyes and did a bit of a thing, you know. Subtle. It made them feel special.

Sorry, where were we? Oh yes, Burn Bhag. Pakistani fellow, I believe. You'll have to ask Kash.

DRAIN THE SWAMP !!!
