Where the stated theme is basically "Why did the DoJ let Epstein Get Away With Everything For So Long".

Along w/the Clintons, the presence has also been requested of: Alberto Gonzalez, Comey, Mueller, Holder, Lynch, Sessions, Barr, and Garland. I'm not sure who all has agreed thus far, how many were actually subpoenaed like B&H, but that was their list of who they want to see before them.

I have to admit, I'm interested to see what threads Democrats pull at. The GQP will be all about establishing that the DoJ is "weaponized" and "playing politics" and "protecting Democrats", and getting each of them to admit they never had real cause to ever go after Trump over his involvement with Epstein, but the Democrats are likely going to ask some good faith and illustrative questions.
