Sometimes it's worth taking a step back to look at the bigger picture, and it's easy to dismiss people with jokes-- especially as they have used her as the punchline for many years now--, but this is really no laughing matter when you think about it. (And how times have changed; she really does have a point, looking at it from many different perspectives.)

She's been making pithy points about the impeachment since the investigations began.

Orin Kerr is a babe? Hm... ok...
"Imagine if the Starr Report had been provided only to President Clinton's Attorney General, Janet Reno, who then read it privately and published a 4-page letter based on her private reading stating her conclusion that President Clinton committed no crimes."
Equating past dem prez to the current guy has ENDLESS variations like this. What if Obama did ANYTHING that Trump has done?

That's the whole point. He hasn't, nor would he. Not just on the level of Presidential behavior, but even in terms of personal behavior. (Have you heard anything about Obama's marital indiscretions? His insulting people left and right? His revolving door administration?)
It's like comparing apples to, well, the only analogy I can think of is durian. One is something that most people in the U.S. and around the world would eat; the other is something that many people find repulsive and only a relative minority of oddballs might consume. (
Edit: and it's obvious the babe I was referring to. I think she's actually gotten far more attractive with age!

I think it's entirely reasonable that she's still pithed off.
