America watched in disgust this week as former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton flatly refused to comply with congressional subpoenas demanding testimony in the House probe of Jeffrey Epstein’s network. Their blanket refusal to appear before the Oversight Committee is an affront to the rule of law and a slap in the face to victims who deserve truth and closure.
House Oversight Chairman James Comer and Republican lawmakers moved swiftly to call the Clintons to account, announcing plans to pursue contempt-of-Congress proceedings after the scheduled depositions were skipped. Republicans are right to treat this as a constitutional crisis: if subpoenas mean nothing when they target the powerful, then congressional oversight is dead and elites get a free pass. The push for contempt makes clear that elected officials cannot surrender their duty to get answers because a couple of political dynasts refuse to cooperate.
The Clintons’ attorneys blasted the subpoenas as “invalid and legally unenforceable,” accusing Republicans of political theater and threatening to fight any enforcement move tooth and nail. That defensive posture reeks of entitlement — wealthy, well-connected former officials using high-priced lawyers to dodge simple questions that everyday Americans would be forced to answer. Congress has a right to seek testimony where there are credible ties and open questions; spinning this into victimhood won’t wash with citizens who see the double standard.
Newsmax’s Finnerty did not mince words, and neither did his guests: conservative voices on the program called for the full muscle of the House to be wielded, including contempt votes and referrals to the Justice Department. That kind of straight talk is exactly what this country needs — leaders who demand accountability rather than another cover-up by the political class. If the Clintons think rhetoric and legal maneuvers will make this go away, they badly miscalculated the American appetite for fairness and transparency.
Meanwhile, questions only deepen as limited Department of Justice disclosures and newly released documents leave gaps that beg for sworn testimony and follow-up. The American people deserve to know why so many insiders and powerful figures were connected to Epstein, and whether any institutions or officials helped shield that network. Refusing to answer under oath only fuels suspicion and confirms that Washington’s insiders still play by different rules.
Patriots who believe in equal justice under law should demand that Republicans follow through: hold the votes, refer contempt to prosecutors, and let the courts sort the legal fights. This isn’t about partisan score-keeping — it’s about restoring faith that no one is above the law, not in rhetoric but in reality. If conservatives stand firm now, we can force transparency, protect victims, and remind the elites that accountability still matters in this republic.
