The impeachment trial — if we’re calling it that — of Donald Trump continues its depressing move forward. As all of us who know there will never be 67 votes to remove the president from office are aware, this proceeding is more about making the case of Trump’s corruption for history. But we’re going through it, as we must, in the hope that a handful of suburban housewives in Pennsylvania will be convinced not to vote for Trump.
Anyway, in an if-you-don’t-laugh-you’ll-cry segment on Full Frontal with Samantha Bee the host focuses her laser wit on the impeachment legal defense team the president has assembled. The, ahem, legal acumen of Ken Starr, Alan Dershowitz and Rep. Jim Jordan has long been a source of merriment at Above the Law, Bee takes it to another level
Bee describes the triumvirate of Starr, Dershowitz and Jordan as “a virtual dream team of rape culture” and then she really lets them have it. I won’t spoil the jokes, but her takedown is on point.
