‘If You Don’t Impeach — I Don’t Get What This Is For’: Obama Admin. Lawyer
EXCERPT:
KATYAL: ”I have heard Eleanor and people like that say the public isn’t behind this or something. But that’s because I think of this Barr pre-spin press conference and his four page memo earlier. Now the public has this long report before it. And I think Mueller bet on the public. He bet on the faith of the public that they will read this report. They will look at it. They will look through these devastating details about what the president has done and the president has gotten away with a lot of stuff for the last two years from Charlottesville to taxes to trade and lying and all that. Here you have people, witnesses, including the president’s staunch allies like his White House counsel, Don McGahn implicating the president in the commission of crimes. It will be much harder for him to dismiss. I think there is only one course of action for the Congress to take ultimately, and it is going to be to impeach this president.”
