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”.
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.
Nope. I’m listening to an idiot trying to convince me the opinion of a verifiable child rapist is true without using any form of critical thinking or evidence.
Ok well can you defend pedophiles somewhere else? I don’t want to talk to you.
If you don’t want to talk to me, then stop. Not that pedos like you know how.
