For years the swamp in Washington promised transparency and delivered cover-ups, but this week Chairman James Comer moved from words to action, issuing deposition subpoenas that finally put powerful names on the hot seat. Comer’s committee didn’t pick easy targets — it subpoenaed former officials and the Department of Justice itself to get to the bottom of long-buried questions about Jeffrey Epstein and the institutions that protected him.
The list of witnesses is a who’s who of the Deep State elite, and included a scheduled deposition for former FBI Director James Comey on October 7, a date that should make any American who believes in equal justice sit up straight. These aren’t theater; they’re subpoenas with dates and deadlines — the kind of accountability Washington has sorely lacked until now.
The committee’s demand for the full Epstein files and related DOJ records exposes the rotten bureaucratic habit of secrecy that shields the powerful while victims wait for justice. Comer set a hard deadline for document production and has signaled he will not accept perfunctory answers — the American people deserve the unredacted truth about how these prosecutions and deals were handled.
Predictably, the bureaucrats pushed back; the same institutions that once claimed to be above reproach now balk at congressional oversight, forcing Comer to threaten contempt and call out the FBI’s refusal to comply. If the FBI and DOJ think stonewalling will save reputations, they badly misread the resolve of a committee led by a chairman who campaigned on rooting out corruption.
All this is unfolding against the backdrop of a government shutdown that began on October 1, a self-inflicted wound from bipartisan failure in the swamp to prioritize the nation’s needs over political theater. While the media frets and the bureaucracy groans, conservatives should be clear-eyed: fiscal responsibility and institutional accountability go hand in hand, and Comer’s work proves Republicans can fight on both fronts.
This moment is a test for every lawmaker who claims to stand for the rule of law — will they back subpoenas, defend oversight, and demand real answers, or will they retreat to safe, scripted statements? Hardworking Americans deserve leaders who will confront powerful figures and broken institutions without fear or favor. No more excuses, no more soft enforcement, and no more Washington double standards.
Comer’s subpoenas are a welcome reminder that accountability is possible when patriots in Congress refuse to bow to bureaucracy and partisan cover-ups. Let every American who cares about justice watch closely, demand courage from their representatives, and stand with those in Congress willing to do the hard work of exposing the truth.
