Of course the only persons that Trump is interested in investigating are Democrats. And he made that clear to his Attorney Genuflect, Pam Bondi.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE THIS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=68260\" target=\"_blank\">HUH? Trump Orders Pam Bondi to Investigate Bill Clinton and Other Democrats Re: Jeffrey Epstein<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As the walls close in around Trump, his MAGA minions in the House of Representatives are working furiously to shield him from any accountability. For the most part, that means deflecting attention away from Trump and unto his political foes. Consequently, James Comer, the GOP chair of the House <em>&#8220;Persecution of Democrats&#8221;<\/em> Committee (aka the Oversight Committee), is now <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediaite.com\/media\/news\/james-comer-demands-the-clintons-testify-or-face-contempt-of-congress-proceedings\/\" target=\"_blank\">threatening Bill and Hillary Clinton<\/a><\/strong> with contempt of Congress for not yet having complied with his vindictive subpoenas to appear for depositions on the Epstein matter.<\/p>\n<p>If the Clintons have any useful information about Epstein and his criminal activities, they should give testimony to Congress and cooperate with the probe. However, it is notable that the only people that Comer has threatened with contempt are the Clintons. Others who have had documented connections to Epstein have not been been under such pressure. And that includes the man that Epstein said was his best friend for 15 years, Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<p>Comer has led numerous politically prejudicial investigations during his tenure as committee chair. They include probes into President Biden&#8217;s financial records, an impeachment inquiry, and his use of the autopen. Comer also held prolonged investigations of Hunter Biden. None of these purely partisan probes produce even a shred of evidence of any wrongdoing. But that hasn&#8217;t deterred Comer from trying again&#8230;and again&#8230;and again.<\/p>\n<p>The Epstein hearings would be far more interesting and useful if Trump were subpoenaed to testify. Also other Trump allied folks like Steve Bannon, Ghislaine Maxwell, Alan Dershowitz, and Peter Theil. But Comer and the Republicans on the committee don&#8217;t seem to be interested in any of them. However, the Clintons are being threatened with contempt.<\/p>\n<p>At this rate it won&#8217;t be long until Comer tries to drag President Obama into this. Or maybe Nancy Pelosi, or Jimmy Kimmel, or any other completely unrelated person that Trump despises and seeks vengeance against. That&#8217;s his modus operandi. And Comer is his obedient supplicant who does his bidding without question. Just like everyone in Trump&#8217;s Cabinet of shameless toadies, for whom the cause of serving justice has been supplanted by the devotion to serving Dear Leader.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED STORIES:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=68251\" target=\"_blank\">Trump\u2019s Press Flack, Karoline Leavitt, is Spinning Furiously to Cover Up His Epstein Ties<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=67371\" target=\"_blank\">Crybaby Trump Posts a Rambling Rant Begging People to Stop Talking About Jeffrey Epstein<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=66669\" target=\"_blank\">Trump\u2019s Press Secretary Lies to Fox News About the Now Nonexistent Epstein Client List<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote>\n<div>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Be sure to visit and follow News Corpse<br \/>\non <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NewsCorpse\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/NewsCorpse\/\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/newscorpse.bsky.social\" target=\"_blank\">Bluesky<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.threads.net\/@newscorpse\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Threads<\/a>.<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>And check out my books on Amazon:<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2aOYFpM\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\">Fox Nation vs. Reality:<br \/>\nThe Fox News Cult of Ignorance.<\/a><\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Thanks so much for your support.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last month a nearly unanimous bipartisan vote in Congress (to which Donald Trump vehemently objected) ordered the release of the Epstein files that are in the custody of Trump&#8217;s &#8220;Justice&#8221; Department.
