When the Clintons Testify, Trump Slides Closer to the GraveIf Republican Chairman of the Oversight Committee James R. Comer thinks hauling Bill and Hillary Clinton in front of cameras is a political win, he’s playing with a loaded rake.First, sworn testimony kills insinuation. Bill Clinton under oath is careful, narrow, and lawyered. If Comer can’t back claims with documents, he’s left with vapor — and congressional hearings don’t survive well on vibes alone.Second, Hillary Clinton is a disaster for anyone trying to stage a gotcha. She doesn’t ramble, she doesn’t panic, and she will calmly expose a partisan fishing expedition for what it is. That’s not great optics for a party pretending this is “serious oversight.”But here’s where it really backfires: once you legitimize Epstein as a subject of congressional testimony, comparisons become unavoidable. Bill Clinton’s Epstein ties have been public for years. Trump’s have never been examined under oath in Congress — despite the photos, the praise, the parties, the records. That asymmetry collapses the minute Comer opens the door.Subpoenas also cut both ways. If Congress can compel testimony over associations and influence, Democrats now have a ready-made precedent to demand the same scrutiny of Trump and his inner circle. You don’t get selective oversight without looking afraid.And then there’s Trump himself — constitutionally incapable of staying quiet. The more this shifts toward sworn testimony and paper trails, the less room there is for bluster. One bad comment, one contradiction, and suddenly he’s not watching the grave being dug — he’s climbing into it.This isn’t a trap for the Clintons.It’s a rabbit hole for Trump.And once he’s in, gravity does the rest.Are we ready to party?#SwornTestimony #OversightTheater #EpsteinFiles#CarefulWhatYouSubpoena #politicalbackfire #ReceiptsMatter#FAFOPolitics #BillClinton #HillaryClintonImage: Bill and Hillary Clinton, Pool photo by Chip Somodevilla
