Oh knock off this PHONY false equivalence, Scott Stantis.
Hillary Clinton was investigated for years, eight separate investigations over Benghazi and emails and NO WRONGDOING WAS EVER FOUND. NONE. She testified for eleven hours. No executive privilege. No Fifth Amendment. Answered everything. At the end of it, Committee Chair Trey Gowdy said, “We got nothing.” He subsequently announced he would not seek reelection and is no longer in either house of the congress. No indictments. No guilty pleas. No conviction. NOTHING.
Robert Mueller has been on the job a year and a half. He already has scores of indictments, numerous guilty pleas and convictions at trial. And there is more to come: There is tons of evidence of Trump violating the emoluments clause, funding his campaign with illegal donations from Russia laundered through the NRA crime syndicate, use of stolen property and violations of social media contracts to steal an election. Paying hush money to porn stars and Playboy nude models. And much, much more.
There is no common ground.
RepubliCONs investigate Democrats for YEARS and find NOTHING.
Republicans (remember, Mueller, Comey, Rosenstein are or were LIFE LONG REPUBLICANS) investigate the Trump administration for MONTHS and there is an avalanche of criminality exposed and the snow is still coming down.
Kevin McCarthy admitted on live TV that the total intention of the phony Benghazi ‘investigations’ was to damage her poll numbers.There is no way that could have escaped your notice.
.
The investigations are not over because for two years they were obstructed and undermined by Republicans. ALL of them.
And even with all the obstruction and attacks by Trump and others, including the Trump Disciple cartoonists, the investigations have resulted in dozens of indictments and several convictions and guilty pleas. It’s not over because Republicans have stonewalled it.
Funny how the Hillary investigations found NOTHING, but the Trump investigations have ALREADY produced dozens of indictments and a bunch of convictions. And they’re not over yet.
Stantis, you’ve improved as a cartoonist – moving from being a right-wing hack to a genuinely thoughtful satirist, but I’m afraid you’ve slipped back into being a FoxNews vidiot on this one. This is an absolutely false equivalence.
As DD Wiz noted, Hillary Clinton was cleared by bipartisan investigations, and Trump is not only utterly corrupt (as anyone knows who has followed him since the 1980s) — and, increasingly likely, a traitor — but he was trying to “lock up” Hillary Clinton on nothing but his say-so. Locking up your political opponents because they are your political opponents is an action of a dictator, nothing less.
“Endless trump investigation”??? By repugnants’ standards (hounding HRC and coming out empty each time after years and decades), this is the most fruitful, fastest work done- considering its importance- by any special counsel in modern times. But what’s a little exaggeration here and there when FACTS are inconvenient…
In my blackest moments I keep wishing for a pandemic that hits the elderly really hard – and, I’m 76 so wishing it on my cohort as an atonement for all the sins of greed and sloth the Boomers have inflicted. In my fantasy the board rooms of Fox News and the NRA would be ground zeros for the onset.
So, let’s let Trump be investigated for just as much as Hillary was. Let’s have him face 11 hours of congressional grilling. Let’s also look at how many Clinton associates have been indicted/convicted/sentenced/imprissoned….
They’re both true…it doesn’t mean they’re equivalent. What Stantis did here is a good example of the role of the political cartoonist. He pointed out a current situation with some humor stirred in. Nice job, Scott.
And now the Administration announces that it will not be possible to reunite the stolen children with their families. It is now time for International Courts to investigate Chump and his staff for crimes against humanity.

That’s okay, we who actually use our brains for more than watching Faux Noize know the difference between real crime and harassment.

How many indictments from all of those Hillary investigations? 2. 1 conviction: Webster Hubbell….

The investigations of crooked liar traitor Trump have just begun.
Republicans had hundreds of investigations of Hillary on tax payer money,
never made an arrest or a charge stick.
Republicans are vindictive jerks.
Radish the wordsmith about 5 years ago
The Republican House authorized another few millions to investigate Hillary again,
they lost and the money will be used to investigate Trump, snerk!
