Foghorn’s Epstein inquiry doesn’t include TACO

Kentucky’s own Foghorn Comer is at it again:

The House Oversight Committee on Tuesday issued subpoenas for Department of Justice records on the Jeffrey Epstein investigation, as well as for interviews with a slate of former government officials in connection to the case.

Oversight Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) announced that he was summoning nearly a dozen former officials to appear for depositions on the Epstein investigation — a list that includes former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. …

The committee’s subpoena of Bill Clinton in particular seems more symbolic than substantive. No former president has ever testified to Congress under the compulsion of a subpoena — and lawmakers have tried only twice before: once in 1953, when the House Un-American Activities Committee subpoenaed Harry Truman, and once in 2022, when the Jan. 6 select committee subpoenaed Donald Trump.

Neither president testified in those instances, and the Justice Department has long cited Truman’s example — though not backed by any legal precedent — to suggest that it is improper for Congress to compel even former presidents to testify, given separation of powers concerns.

Yes, there are photos with Bill and Epstein.

There’s also this:

And this:

But notice how Foghorn doesn’t have the Orange party animal on his subpoena list. What a hack.

By the way, today’s an anniversary. Jeffrey Epstein was found dead in his cell six years ago today. Who exactly was president of the United States when that happened?
