Dec. 18 will mark one year since the House of Representatives voted to impeach President Donald Trump.
Looking back, what happened “behind the scenes” of the impeachment proceedings? Fred Lucas, the chief national affairs correspondent for The Daily Signal and author of “Abuse of Power: Inside the Three-Year Campaign to Impeach Donald Trump,” joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to discuss it.
Rachel del Guidice: I’m joined today on “The Daily Signal Podcast” by one of my colleagues at The Daily Signal, Fred Lucas. He’s the chief national affairs correspondent for The Daily Signal. Fred, it’s great to be with you on “The Daily Signal Podcast.”
Fred Lucas: Thanks for having me on.
Del Guidice: It’s great to have you with us, Fred. So, Dec. 18 marks the one-year anniversary since the House voted to impeach President Donald Trump. And you wrote a book about the impeachment process and all the proceedings called “Abuse of Power: Inside the Three-Year Campaign to Impeach Donald Trump.” Can you start off, Fred, by just telling us about the book?
Lucas: It really began, basically, the day after President Trump was elected in November 2016. There was this movement to get rid of him as soon as possible without the benefit of an election, which we just had. But it moves on to tell the story, basically, how the Russia emoluments, other things just sort of collapsed.
And so this phone call with Ukraine sort of managed to do two things. It sort of managed to set up a template for impeachment, but also protect [former Vice President] Joe Biden’s candidacy.
Another Democrat CRIME !!!!
Make their party payback the Taxpayer $$$$$ they waisted !!!!!
About $ 30 Million + !!!!
Yes , and that did not go so good for the Demon-crats !!! Trump was Innocent !!!! LOL LOL
We’re still waiting for ANY of the “clear and compelling evidence” that Schiff and Nadler said was at the heart of the hearings. Nobody heard or saw what it was, but every Democrat voted to impeach.
