Back Porch Files: Congress, Contempt, and the Cost of Inaction

What happens when Congress issues a subpoena — and someone powerful simply ignores it? In this episode, we step back from the daily chaos to examine the defiance of congressional subpoenas by Bill and Hillary Clinton in the Jeffrey Epstein investigation, and what it says about the slow erosion of congressional authority. We break down what subpoena power actually is, how Congress is supposed to enforce it, and why that enforcement has grown increasingly rare. Additionally, we confront an uncomfortable but necessary conclusion: if we want accountability for Donald Trump or anyone tied to Epstein, Congress must be willing to hold everyone to the same standard, regardless of party, power, or past loyalty.
