On Wednesday, nine Democrats voted with Republicans to hold Bill Clinton in contempt of Congress, while three Democrats voted to hold Hillary Clinton in contempt.

If the full House votes in favour, the Department of Justice would decide whether to prosecute the charges, which is a misdemeanour offence punishable by a fine up to $100,000 (£74,500) and imprisonment up to a year.

In a statement, Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer urged the full House to hold the Clintons in contempt, saying his committee had sent a “clear message” that “no one is above the law, and justice must be applied equally—regardless of position, pedigree, or prestige”.

The Clintons had contended the subpoenas - a legal orders to provide testimony - were “nothing more than a ploy to attempt to embarrass political rivals, as President Trump has directed”.

    Pedo authoritarianism for Clinton is not the same as justice for him and Trump.

    Alright, well, you wrote a lot of stuff after this, but that’s where I stopped reading. This vomit of pure gibberish, that you apparently believed was a coherent sentence, is what you led with. This was your thesis statement. Sit back and reflect on that.

    The is solid evidence that both of these men raped child sex slaves. Both men should be tried and, if convicted, thrown in prison. If you don’t agree with that you’re trash. That’s all I have to say on the subject.

      Nope. There isn’t. You’re lying. Show the evidence for Clinton like I ready did Trump. Show the evidence you claim you have for Clinton, or you are supporting fasicm, not justice. Period.

      I already know your response will just be more anger instead of any proof of what you’re angry about.

      So show me your anger doesn’t come from a fucking vibe, and maybe then I’ll believe your bullshit righteousness isn’t bullshit.

      Until then, I’ll take your lead and assume the worst of you.

      That you’ve fully given up American values in exchange for vibes. As easily proven by you actively calling for the unfair persecution of a man you can’t even prove is guilty. Something I guarantee you will fail at providing in your next response.

      Once that happens, you are again choosing to defend fasicm instead of growing up enough to know what it looks like.

      Respond with your “solid evidence,” or you’re asking for fasicm not justice. Something I didn’t have a problem with because I’m right.

          No shit. Words scare fascists like you. Real Americans fight for words to be said, even if they don’t like em.

          Thanks for making it very clear which of these two categories your behaviour is in to everyone but you.

            Are you still championing clemency for child rapists? You must feel very strongly about allowing pedophiles to escape justice if putting them on trial looks like fascism to you.
