On Wednesday, nine Democrats voted with Republicans to hold Bill Clinton in contempt of Congress, while three Democrats voted to hold Hillary Clinton in contempt.
If the full House votes in favour, the Department of Justice would decide whether to prosecute the charges, which is a misdemeanour offence punishable by a fine up to $100,000 (£74,500) and imprisonment up to a year.
In a statement, Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer urged the full House to hold the Clintons in contempt, saying his committee had sent a “clear message” that “no one is above the law, and justice must be applied equally—regardless of position, pedigree, or prestige”.
The Clintons had contended the subpoenas - a legal orders to provide testimony - were “nothing more than a ploy to attempt to embarrass political rivals, as President Trump has directed”.
Sorry didn’t hear what you said, my gums began bleeding profusely after reading your comment.
There is no rule of law, and the country is already in a state of suspended civil war. The ones who work 3 jobs to barely be able to afford living and can’t afford health insurance are expected to fight the ones that were given a job that has health insurance.

This has to be the best description I have seen of the status of the US recently.
It’s saddening but it looks to be the case. As I was typing I was thinking the U for united feels an odd word now as it is becoming increasingly untrue.
Yeah, that’s a good description, but I don’t think those are the groups expected to fight each other. Maybe that’s what the Republicans want, but the actual fighters will be more likely Maga-Hillbillies vs The Awoken.
