Former President Bill Clinton is famous for his tendency to parse words, but when it comes to the Epstein files, he’d rather not say anything at all.
[The Contempt of Congress]… vote became a certainty on Tuesday, when House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) said that he turned down an offer from the Clintons’ attorneys aiming for a compromise on the deposition dispute.
I have rejected the Clintons’ ridiculous offer.
The Clintons, it would seem, deem themselves above the huddled masses and deserve some sort of special treatment:
Comer said in a statement that the Clintons’ attorneys made an offer to have former President Clinton testify before only Comer and ranking member Robert Garcia (D-Calif.) in New York — with just two staff members each, no other committee members, and no official transcript.

Comer wasn’t done:
“Former Secretary Clinton’s on-the-record testimony is necessary for the Committee’s investigation given her knowledge from her time as Secretary of State of the federal government’s work to counter international sex-tracking rings, her personal knowledge of Ms. Maxwell, and her family’s relationship with Mr. Epstein,” Comer said.
The Clintons have insisted that they have already provided the committee with all the information that they have, yet have thrown up all kinds of legalese roadblocks to avoid testifying. But if they’ve already told what they know, why their insistence on refusing to come clean in a public forum? It’s no wonder that Americans don’t trust “Slick Willy” any further than they throw him, much less his duplicitous spouse.

With each passing year, the Clinton legacy becomes more and more tainted. Why can’t they just show up like normal people and tell us what they know? I don’t have the precise answer to that — but I have a more general one. They won’t show because they’re an elitist, entitled couple who think they’re above it all. What they’re really proving, however, is that they’re beneath our contempt.
