Lisa Benson, who was one of the loudest voices calling for impeachment of Bill Clinton for lying about CONSENSUAL oral copulation (that he did not pay illegal hush money to cover up), is now whining about investigating serious crimes of Donald Trump?
• Emoluments and nepotism violations
• Obstruction of justice — ten specific incidents identified as rising to the level of obstruction by Mueller, and several more in his blanket orders to obstruct lawful subpoenas
• 140 documented instances that Mueller described as “links” or “cooperation” or “coordination” between the Trump 2016 campaign and Russians (but which he could not describe as “collusion” only because it is not a legal term, or “conspiracy” because of a Nixon era Dept of Justice opinion prohibiting indictment of a sitting president.
• Use of unsecure iPhones and other unsecure communications in handling sensitive TOP SECRET intelligence
• And, oh yeah, I remember how outraged Lisa and other conservatives were when Bill Clinton replaced his White House travel office with travel personnel he was used to working with. Trump can fire an Attorney General or try to fire a respected investigator investigating him, but Clinton could not fire a travel agent?
• Trying to decide which is worse — lying about a personal consensual encounter in the Oval Office, or TRUMP GIVING CLASSIFIED TOP SECRETS TO THE RUSSIANS (Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov [counterpart to our Secretary of State] and Ambassador to the U.S. Sergei Kislyak) … IN THE OVAL OFFICE (covered by Russian news media while American media were barred) the day after HE OBSTRUCTED JUSTICE by firing James Comey because of “the Russia thing” (as he admitted to Lester Holt on national TV)
Just IMAGINE the volume of the drums in Washington if a Democratic administration was 1/10 as corrupt as donnie’s gang of thieves, liars, traitors, and criminals has been so far…
I think it’s a very accurate depiction. Nancy is waiting for full disclosure and treating Trump’s crimes appropriately. Once the information to which they are entitled is provided, it will be a slam dunk. Others are a bit more hasty as Trump’s crimes are pretty obvious but evidence is needed to ensure impeachment and conviction.
Sorry Lisa the only “War Drums” are being played by Bomb-em-all Bolton.
As an Infantryman. It infuriates me the when anyone compares politics ( or sports) to war.Memos and press-releases are not the same as mortars and bullets.
Sorry to correct your FAKE FACTS but the Clinton impeachment was for PERJURY and SUBJORNING PERJURY not for “Consensual Sex”. Get your fact right if you expect to be taken seriously!
In this cartoon, I would like to see one little elephant from Michigan sitting between the bass drums playing a triangle. His voice has really put the pressure on Nancy to start proceedings.
Nancy is right. You KNOW that no matter how much irrefutable evidence of trump’s multiple crimes is presented at an impeachment trial, Senile old Yertle the Turtle McConshell will ORDER all the Republicans in the Senate to vote to Acquit. Then donnie can claim to be “Persecuted” by “Those Evil Democrats trying to overthrow the Gubbmint”, and he will get re-elected in 2020 on a sympathy vote. As it is now, he’s gonna lose big time!
Benson’s paid to (try to) sow discord among liberals. “War” drums? Srsly? Pelosi’s about as smart as politicians get, and she’s experienced too. She may be wrong about some things, but I’m betting she’s got a decent-or-better plan to bring down FAUXTUS that will actually work (unless Benson et al manage to stir up the liberals to the point where the Dems implode). Regardless of what Pelosi is saying watch what she does (same thing I say about every politician): She’s in this game to win in November of 2020, not to look “correct” in May 2019.
If the Republicans in Congress were either true republicans working in the best interests of all their constituents, or they were truly concerned about the ongoing erratic mental behavior of the resident, they would do something proactively responsible to assure that we had competent leadership in the white house, wouldn’t they?

The double standard hypocrisy astounds.

The Rump is so stupid. He obstructing justice by obstructing the investigation into his obstructing justice. Yes, impeachment is now inevitable.

True Believers (by Eric Hoffer) will never change their minds. Too much of the self identity is wrapped up in Trump.

Never thought I’d see the day when Nancy showed more maturity and common sense than the rest of her party combined.

Well I’m just shocked – shocked! that as Trump becomes more brazenly lawless, the chuds dig in deeper.

Lisa, what would it take? Does Trump LITERALLY need to shoot someone on Fifth Ave?
