Clintons subpoenaed to testify in congressional Epstein investigation

(snip)

The committee is seeking information about Epstein's history, after President Donald Trump's administration decided against releasing more federal files on the dead financier.

(snip)

Former Attorneys General Merrick Garland, Loretta Lynch, Eric Holder and Alberto Gonzales were summoned, along with Jeff Sessions and William Barr, who both led the justice department during Trump's first term. Former FBI Sirectors James Comey and Robert Mueller were also sent subpoenas.

(snip)

The committee is seeking all of the department's documents and communications on Epstein and Maxwell "relating or referring to human trafficking, exploitation of minors, sexual abuse, or related activity", as well as files from the US criminal cases against Maxwell and Epstein, documents from a 2007 agreement to not prosecute Epstein and federal investigations into the former financier.

(snip)

Notably, the committee investigating the 6 January 2021 Capitol riot voted during a televised hearing to subpoena Trump, who then sued to stop it. The subpoena was dropped when the committee disbanded.

I also believe there is a strong possibility if not probability that Epstein was operating as a foreign agent, and that was the point of all this.

Anyone of power and influence that did engage in Epstein, and Maxwell's devious acts were probably filmed making them vulnerable to extortion, that's one way of taking over our democracy (such as it is.)

So I view as it as a strong possible or probable national security threat as well as morally reprehensible.
