After Republicans push Clintons to testify on Epstein, Democrats warn they'll haul in Trump

[Dulcinea]

(NBC News) WASHINGTON — Facing the threat of being held in contempt of Congress, Bill and Hillary Clinton agreed Tuesday to testify before the House Oversight Committee about convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Democrats now say Republicans have established a precedent when it comes to Congress’ ability to subpoena and haul in past presidents, first ladies and family members under threat of criminal charges if they refuse — a precedent they warn the GOP and Oversight Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., will soon regret.

"We are absolutely going to have Donald Trump testify under oath" when Democrats take back power, California Rep. Ted Lieu, a member of Democratic leadership who for years has been highlighting Donald Trump's ties to Epstein, told NBC News on Tuesday.

“It is a big deal,” added Rep. Steny Hoyer, D-Md., a former House majority leader who is retiring after serving more than 45 years in the chamber. “And it’d be interesting to see what former President Trump thinks of that premise.”

1. Could Bill Clinton be hiding an Ace up his sleeve?

Is it possible (not probable) that he'll testify that he personally witnessed the debauchery of Donald Trump when visiting Epstein and gives credible detail to his assertions?

IOW, could the subpoenas backfire on Trump?

2. I'm hoping he drops a bomb on tsf with evidence

5. No chance. If he did that, he would be incriminating himself.

3. Trump will defy the subpoena, ignore the contempt order, laugh at the criminal charges, and nothing will happen to him.

4. I can only guess the Clintons have a strategy for agreeing to testify.

And I also remember how Hillary's testimony on the emails slapped them silly. Look forward to that happening again.

6. Absolutely

There is more cause to haul in Trump since he's a former friend of Epstein.
