Democrats Are Holding the Clintons in Contempt? Way to Go!

In another sign that American politics is trapped in the Upside Down, last week a rogue band of House Democrats voted to hold Bill and Hillary Clinton in contempt of Congress.

It was a bit of a surprise turn in these hyper-polarized times. The charges stem from the Clintons' refusal to testify behind closed doors before the House Oversight Committee in its investigation of the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

On Jan. 13, just hours before Mr. Clinton's deadline to appear before the committee, the Clintons sent letters to its chairman, James Comer, decrying their treatment and defying their subpoenas. The committee voted to recommend contempt charges to the full House the next week. Nine of the panel's 21 Democrats joined Republicans to pass the measure against Mr. Clinton. Three supported the one against Mrs. Clinton as well.
