Clintons say Comer is 'lying with impunity' about Epstein inquiry, release written declarations
On Wednesday -- in a press release from the office of the former president -- the Clintons contended they have gone "above and beyond" what others have been asked to do by the committee, providing what they describe as "comprehensive" sworn statements listing "everything they have to offer" on the topic of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.

"You probably don't know this because James Comer doesn't want you to," the statement says. "President and Secretary Clinton swore to the truth under penalty of perjury. James Comer hasn't told you that and has instead resorted to lying in every appearance he's made this week."

The ex-president's office also released the written declarations -- dated Jan. 13 from each of the Clintons -- which they say were provided to the Oversight Committee.

The declarations -- containing seven bullet-pointed paragraphs each -- end with this: "I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct."

Everybody else who was subpoenaed did the same - provided sworn statements- but none as detailed as the Clintons. Nobody else was threatened with contempt charges. That's because this was clearly politically motivated from the start. Comer is a lying pile of shit.
