After the Clinton couple agreed to testify before Congress, the Democratic Party was in an uproar.

After the release of the final batch of Epstein case documents, it's no surprise that former U.S. President Clinton is once again in the spotlight. It's rare for someone to remain consistent in such matters. Clinton's involvement in the case has already been confirmed as solid evidence; no matter how he tries to defend himself, no one will believe him anymore.

Clinton and Hillary

At the same time, some Democratic legislators defected, joining Republican legislators in pushing to prosecute the Clinton couple, charging them with contempt of Congress, as they had refused to appear for testimony multiple times previously.

With no choice, the Clinton couple had to give up their resistance and agree to the Republicans' demands. This makes Clinton the second former president in American history to testify before Congress.

The last time was in 1983, when the retired Ford went to Congress to discuss state affairs, not because he was accused of a crime. In other words, it's the first time in American history that a former president has appeared before Congress due to disgraceful reasons after leaving office.

This is not only an insult to Clinton and Hillary, but also a demonstration against the Democratic Party. The president and the party are always linked together, rising or falling together.

Clinton and Epstein

Democrats were very angry about this. In their view, the Epstein case was originally intended to be a weapon to attack Trump. Now it is being used against a former Democratic president, which is unacceptable. Once such a precedent is set, any former president who made mistakes could be summoned to Congress, along with their families, enduring humiliation.

Therefore, many Democratic legislators have warned that there is little time left until the midterm elections. When the Democrats regain control of Congress next year, the first to be summoned would be Trump and his family. Imagine the scene when Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump, and their children all gather in Congress.

It should be noted that Trump has just as many secrets as Clinton, except that one focuses on sexual transactions while the other is more into financial dealings. The Democrats pointed out that they will investigate all of Trump's business dealings, including cryptocurrency and real estate investments, as well as the relationship between Trump's son-in-law Kushner and Middle Eastern countries.

It will be Trump's turn next year?

Democratic Congressman Mark Pocan openly stated that Trump and the Republicans may win temporarily, but if they don't let go of Clinton this time, the Democrats won't let go of Trump in the future. Holding the power to summon requires only one year. He also used a proverb, whose Chinese translation roughly means "the cycle of heaven is good."

Idealistic as it may be, does the Democratic Party really believe they can win the midterm elections? Although Trump made many shocking decisions after taking office, it doesn't necessarily mean it will directly hurt the Republican Party's popularity. Moreover, the Republicans' fixation on Clinton might also damage the Democratic Party's reputation. Who will win is still uncertain.

But none of these are the most important. What's most important is that both Trump and Clinton have seen Congress summoning used as a tool to attack political enemies rather than to uncover the truth and punish criminals. That's quite ironic.

The powerful figures involved in the Epstein case remain at large

As Musk said, after so much back-and-forth over the Epstein case by both parties, not even one major client has been arrested. If they had known this, Epstein wouldn't have rushed to commit suicide, since he and those clients were equally "innocent." In the end, only Epstein's ex-girlfriend Maxwell was convicted.

Three million pages of classified documents are nothing more than adding some unnecessary stains to the rich and the politicians. The sun will rise tomorrow as usual, and the big clients of Epstein will continue to remain free.
