The Clintons’ blunt refusal to show up for deposition in the House Oversight Committee’s Jeffrey Epstein probe is a slap in the face to every American who believes in equal justice under the law. Committee Chairman James Comer has already signaled he will move to hold former President Bill Clinton in contempt for ignoring a lawful, bipartisan subpoena — an extraordinary step that underscores how high the stakes have become.
Sen. Ron Johnson told Newsmax’s Wake Up America bluntly what millions of patriots are thinking: if Bill Clinton truly has nothing to hide, he should come and answer questions under oath rather than ducking and delaying. That is not partisan grandstanding; it is the simple, common-sense demand for transparency that built this country and keeps its institutions honest.
Republicans didn’t rush to subpoena the Clintons out of malice — the Oversight Committee voted in bipartisan fashion to compel testimony because the American people deserve clarity about who circled Epstein and what agencies might have mishandled the case. The subpoenas were issued after careful committee work and set deposition dates last year, yet now the powerful are trying to dodge basic accountability.
Meanwhile, Democrats and the Clintons’ legal team call the subpoenas “invalid,” and the Justice Department’s slow-walk on releasing Epstein-related documents only fuels suspicion that Washington protects its own. Americans know the score: when elites hide behind lawyers and legal technicalities, it looks a lot like privilege, not innocence — and that breeds contempt for a system that should serve ordinary citizens first.
This is a moment for conservatives to stand tall and demand the rule of law be applied equally, not selectively. If the Clintons believe their reputations are untarnished, they should show up, take questions, and put the matter to rest instead of forcing Republicans to expend precious political capital on contempt votes and court fights that could have been avoided by simple cooperation.
Hardworking Americans deserve answers, and those answers won’t come from press conferences and attorneys’ letters — they come from sworn testimony and documents produced in full. Call on your representatives to press forward, demand transparency, and reject the old Washington playbook where power and celebrity buy immunity from scrutiny. The American people will not be satisfied with anything less.
