In a classic twist of political theatre, the House Oversight Committee has set the stage for what might be the grand finale in the saga of Hillary Clinton’s email scandal. After what seems like a lifetime of speculation and countless memes, there have been discussions regarding holding Hillary Clinton in contempt of Congress. This decision, however, did not involve a bipartisan agreement, and there is no confirmed vote with Democrats and Republicans alike agreeing to hold Clinton in contempt.

For those keeping score at home, any action to hold Clinton in contempt would carry symbolic weight. This is a serious business, and if such a decision were made by the House floor, it would then be referred to the Department of Justice. Considering the eagerness of President Trump’s administration to fulfill campaign promises, it’s not out of the realm of possibility that there could have been discussions about legal action taking the spotlight.

This unexpected development echoes back to one of Trump’s most memorable quips during the 2016 debates. Remember when he promised to put Hillary in jail? It seemed like a pipe dream back then, mostly a punchline in memes, but here we are, contemplating its potential reality. It’s like the “because you’d be in jail” phrase was dusted off and brought back for another curtain call, except there’s no confirmed Congressional vote behind it.

The speculation about bipartisan support signals discussions about a potential shift in the political winds, or maybe just a keen understanding of the stakes at play. Either way, Clinton’s once ironclad backing appears to be a theme in political narratives. It’s enough to make one wonder what’s next on her agenda — locking her emails behind fewer metaphorical security bars and more literal ones?

So, will President Trump’s oldest campaign promise finally come to fruition? While it’s too early to tell, these discussions have certainly brought new energy to a tale that many thought had lost its steam. Whatever the outcome, it’s clear that the intrigue and drama of American politics continue to captivate us all. Stay tuned, folks, because this show looks like it’s just getting started.
