Did the Clintons negotiate in good faith or only testify after being forced by contempt charges?

The Spin

Democratic narrative

The Clintons negotiated in good faith throughout this process and have consistently offered to testify under oath about what they know. Their willingness to appear demonstrates a commitment to transparency and sets a precedent for everyone, regardless of political status.

Republican narrative

Only the threat of criminal contempt charges forced the Clintons to finally agree to testify after months of stonewalling and resistance. Congressional oversight with real consequences works when applied to powerful elites who believe they're above accountability and can ignore subpoenas indefinitely.
