There's a name on the scroll, Clinton raised the white flag, and agreed to appear before Congress for testimony with Hillary.
New batch of Epstein case documents have been released, and unsurprisingly, we once again see the names of former U.S. President Clinton and former British Prince Andrew. These two really are regular guests, mainly "having a name on the scroll." If others are only suspected, these two are almost already solid evidence of involvement.
Seeing no hope of resistance, Clinton finally raised the white flag. He and former First Lady Hillary have agreed to testify at the House of Representatives hearing, and fully cooperate with the investigation without any content or time restrictions. Their only request is to cancel the congressional vote.
Previously, because they repeatedly failed to appear, the House was going to charge them with "contempt of Congress" and conduct a full vote on it.
Contempt of Congress is theoretically a serious crime, but the Congress usually issues such accusations for some political purpose, so there are few cases that are actually prosecuted. The most famous one is Trump's former strategist Bannon.
However, Bannon's situation is different from Clinton's. Bannon was related to the Capitol riot, indeed committed crimes, and at that time, both parties agreed to deal with Trump, without any differences.
Clinton and his wife are different. The Epstein case is well-known as a "conspiracy theory" in the American political arena. The Democrats can easily blame it on the Republican Party's political persecution of Clinton, so this case still has room for debate, despite the fact that Clinton's stains are already hard to wash away.
In fact, given the repeated appearance of Clinton's name in the Epstein case documents, some Democratic legislators have begun to waver, which is also why the House was able to vote to issue an accusation against Clinton and his wife.
Because the Democrats realized that Clinton couldn't be saved anymore. If they insisted on protecting him, the Democrats would also be dragged down. With the midterm elections approaching, the Democrats cannot take such a big risk, after all, Clinton is just a former president.
