House Oversight Republicans will begin contempt of Congress proceedings against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton after she failed to appear for a deposition Wednesday as part of the committee's investigation into convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Why it matters: Both Clintons will face contempt of Congress proceedings — a rarely used congressional enforcement tool.
The Clintons are refusing to comply with subpoenas, laying out in a Monday letter, obtained by Axios, to Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) why they considered the subpoenas "invalid and legally unenforceable."
"Since this started, we've been asking what the hell Hillary Clinton has to do with this, and [Comer] hasn't been able to come up with an answer," Nick Merrill, a spokesperson for Hillary Clinton, said in a statement last month.
Driving the news: "We've bent over backwards. I've taken criticism from people on my committee for giving them so many chances, and, you know, they can't even tell us whether they will show up," Comer told Axios on Tuesday after Bill Clinton didn't appear for his deposition.
The Oversight panel will vote to hold Hillary and Bill Clinton in contempt next Wednesday, Comer said.
Criminal contempt of Congress carries a maximum penalty of up to one year in prison and a fine of up to $100,000, though not every witness who defies a subpoena is referred for prosecution.

I predict it will fail on largely party lines.
A few predictable republicans will insure the bills failure.
P
It would make my decade if she spends even one night in jail.
They need to subpoena the law enforcement personnel who saw Anthony Weiner’s laptop; that may well show us what Hillary had to do with any of this.
Maximum penalty of up to one year in prison and a fine of up to $100,000.
Without Whiskey or nose candy bet they don’t make it out alive.
Sure nothing will happen to the Clintons.
But still, why not just show up and spout out the usual “I don’t recall” or “on advice of my legal council I invoke my 5th amendment rights” over and over again.
Come on people. It’s not like she was having enjoying with anyone.
Jail time? YES!
File this under “It’s not going to happen”. The usual suspects will say the Country doesn’t need to go through this....blah blah....Y’all know the routine.
Scrub the harddrive? You mean with a cloth?
” ‘Since this started, we’ve been asking what the hell Hillary Clinton has to do with this, and [Comer] hasn’t been able to come up with an answer,’ Nick Merrill, a spokesperson for Hillary Clinton, said in a statement last month.’ “
Then why is Hillary so afraid of answering a few questions under oath? Don’t the trafficked and molested girls merit the whole truth and even a few hours of her precious time? Did she get a “massage” or two? What does she know about Bill’s interactions with Epstein? What did she see and know about? What was the nature of her relationship wih Epstein? What did Epstein have to do with the Clinton Foundation, like setting it up? What does she know about Epstein’s money services for the “Intelligence Community”? How about his assistance to mujahadeen ops against the Soviet Union?
Well, there was an island in the Caribbean that was easy for friends of Jeff's to get to. On this island there were pretty young girls who had to do anything they were told. Hillary loved telling pretty young girls what to do. Sounds exciting until you realize that any photo or video evidence that you might see, you can't unsee.
The reason they aren't complying is because Comer never holds anybody accountable. All he crows about are "investigations."
/SPIT!
Use “wipedrive” from the folks that brought you shamwow 😂
Politics in the U.S. changed forever when Bill brought his nagging evil wife into the White House.
I wondered the same thing.
Maybe there is sooooo very much incriminating evidence that the optics of not answering questions will be damning and historical?
In all comical irony, didn't the Dem's figure on this when they brought all this 24/7 focus on the Epstein weasel?
An aside, some say the files have been scrubbed of some major players, however what if there are files that were missed? What about potential whistle blowers?
She doesn’t have presidential immunity. What a great way to get away from her at the government’s expense.
Came here for this,it always makes me laugh.
You never disappoint.
