From Wonkette -
"So far, the Justice Department has released only about one percent of the files it has on Jeffrey Epstein, Donald Trumps involvement with the serial child molester, and the governments failure to hold Epstein accountable. Its the sort of thing Congress should be demanding action on, but the House Oversight Committee was instead planning to spend this week grilling Bill and Hillary Clinton about their long-ago contacts with Epstein, because that would take the spotlight off Trump.
Yesterday, the Clintons sent a scathing four-page letter (New York Times archive link) to committee chair James Comer (R-Kentucky) telling him why they wouldnt be playing along, arguing that instead of demanding the Justice Department comply with the law requiring release of the Epstein Files, Comer and the Oversight Committee have prevented progress in discovering the facts about the governments role.
You should definitely give the full Clinton letter a read, because it lays out not just why the Clintons wont go along with Comers attempt to shift attention away from Trump and the DOJs foot-dragging, but also why this governments corruption must be resisted wherever possible, from the streets to closed-door hearing rooms. The letter, not from their attorneys but from the Clintons themselves, starts by laying out the unprecedented attacks on the rule of law by Trumps government, and sums up:
Every person has to decide when they have seen or had enough and are ready to fight for this country, its principles and its people, no matter the consequences.
For us, now is that time."

Not that she owes us anything.
But at this point if they really did lock her up for this, there should be no complaints when others are locked up next year for doing the same thing.

After letting republicans skate, I suspect there will be enormous consequences for the Republican party.
