A visit to Bizarroworld

Micah Sifry takes us to Bizarroworld where Hillary Clinton is president, doing what Trump is doing here in our world:
President Hillary Clinton quietly sent her son-in-law, investment banker Marc Mezvinsky, to Iraq on Monday, adding “winning the war against ISIS” to his growing list of responsibilities, which also include “solving Middle East peace,” “heading the new White House Office of American Innovation,” “managing the U.S.-China summit,” and “ending the opioid crisis.” The Chinese government, convinced of Mezvinsky’s importance in the Clinton White House, not only has established a “back channel” to him through its ambassador in Washington, it has also quietly encouraged a Chinese state bank to invest in his troubled hedge fund. While Clinton’s husband has largely stayed out of the White House and remained at home in New York, her daughter Chelsea has also taken a unpaid role in the administration while continuing to run the family foundation and earning five- and six-figure fees giving speeches to corporations with interests in Washington. Meanwhile, most top sub-Cabinet level positions are still unfilled, though in one piece of unexpected news, longtime Clinton confidante and political adviser Sidney Blumenthal has been removed from his brief stint as a member of the National Security Council.
And that’s just the tip ‘o the iceberg. Imagine the Russia thing. Or the Nunes thing. Or the emoluments thing. Or the tax return thing. Or the private lawsuits thing. The cost of maintaining Trump Tower and the boys foreign travel thing. Mar-a-lago security thing. Insulting foreign leaders thing. I could go on for hours.
But it would never get this far because they would have started impeachment hearings already.In fact, she would probably have been arrested or deposed in some other way.
