Are you joking? Adversarial oversight by the legislative branch is literally the thing that the people who wrote the Constitution thought would save us from despotism. You currently have a situation where his national security adviser was an unacknowledged agent of a foreign power and where the president routinely visits his properties where powerful people with business before the government put hundreds of thousands of dollars in his pocket for the opportunity to personally lobby him. Our country has never seen this kind of unmitigated corruption and the Republicans in Congress refuse to do anything about it.
That aside:
1) There is literally no evidence that Bill Clinton attempted to influenced the investigation into Hillary in any way, shape, or form. Zero. What you have is that they talked to each other on an airplane.
2) No one forced Franken to resign, he could have stayed if he wanted to. Regardless this has no bearing
When you try to say that Democrats shouldn't be trusted to provide oversight based on things like this you undermine your own credibility.
There are no indications of corruption that touch Clinton in any meaningful way. There is an astoundingly large pile of evidence that points to corruption within Trump's administration and with Trump himself. (I mean after all the felony pleas/indictments are really piling up at this point) He is also the president and so his corruption is of vastly, vastly greater importance as if he is as corrupt as he appears he needs to be removed from office immediately for the safety of the country.
This is bothsides-ism at its worst.
How can you rationalize being such a Clinton waterboy? No indications, other than Comey testifying that Lynch exerted pressure on the FBI investigation:
"At one point the attorney general had directed me not to call it an investigation, but instead to call it a matter, which confused me and concerned me, but that was one of the bricks in the load that led me to conclude I have to step away from the department if we're to close this case credibly,"
That you constantly dismiss or overlook this little fact undermines your credibility.
Adversarial oversight with the country so polarized is a fantasy. What should happen is that Republicans and Democrats must hold their own accountable. That means the Republican controlled Congress must proceed with impeachment, they don't even need the Mueller findings at this point. If they don't, they deserve to lose Congress. They already lost a Senate seat by doubling down on stupid.
What this also means is that you, rather than rationalizing it, should be saying it is inappropriate for a former President to meet with the acting AG while the entiry she oversees is investigating his wife. You should be questioning why an acting AG compromised herself to the extent that the FBI got dragged into a highly political situation. You should be questioning why Mueller had to dismiss a Clinton waterboy from the his investigative team, which now gives Trump and Republicans adequate ammunition to conflate, confuse and undermine. That wasn't a Fox News article he linked, concern over the Mueller investigation is spreading to credible sources.
But you won't ask those questions. You will instead play the whataboutism card.
