“The Russia investigation was a legitimate investigation, with a legitimate basis, into how a hostile foreign power tried to interfere with and undermine our democracy. It was in the best interests of the nation—in the interests of all Americans, no matter who they voted for—that this investigation be allowed to proceed to its rightful conclusion, without improper attempts to obstruct it, if only so that we could all know what really happened and take steps to see that it never happens again.
But because you are a malignant narcissist—a person with both narcissistic and antisocial personality disorders—you couldn’t view it that way. Instead of complying with your oath of office, and instead of taking stock of what was in the best interests of the nation whose Constitution and laws you swore to uphold, you viewed the matter purely in terms of your own ego: You viewed the investigation as casting doubt on what you perceive as your great election victory (in which your opponent garnered nearly three million more votes than you did), and so you took multiple steps to obstruct, and repeatedly lied about, the investigation from the outset.
Even today, despite the well-founded assessments of the intelligence community, and despite the damning evidence laid out in the Mueller report, you refuse to take what the Russians did seriously. Instead, you continue to lie, calling the investigation a “hoax” and an “attempted coup” . . .
“Put simply, you put your own perceptions of your self-interest above the national interest, which you seem unable to comprehend or respect. That is your greatest offense against the country, an offense that incorporates but vastly exceeds the statutory crimes you’ve committed. It is the ultimate high crime or misdemeanor under the Constitution, and under the Framers’ wise design; it is an offense for which you should pay with your office, regardless of whether you are ultimately brought to justice in the courts of law.”
Let’s see here, with 2 years of Republican/conservative majorities in both Houses of Congress, and the presidency, no Clinton has been charged let alone convicted of any wrong doing. And that’s with almost 2½ years of tRump’s own hand-picked attorney generals. And, Kelley, none of those in your comic are charged or jailed either. However, tRump’s campaign manager in in prison. tRump’s lawyer/fixer is in prison. tRump’s NSA head is charged, admitted he is guilty and awaiting sentencing. tRump’s foreign policy advisor already served his sentence, and tRump’s buddy and advisor, Roger Stone is soon to go to trial. And that’s just what I recall. There are more.
Then there is the constant lying and stone-walling of any facts that an innocent person would never even consider. And all the things that we know he’s done against women and minorities.

Yes, flog that dead horse some more Kelley. Being intellectually bankrupt must be a default setting for conservatives.

This is inaccurate: Lady Justice is hog tied and held down by Barr and the Rump.

While I disagree with the cartoon’s premise, in my opinion, the caricatures are spot-on. ESPECIALLY Brennan!
