'Like Watergate in Reverse'

Where are we on impeachment today?
Following the second week of public testimonies, the Washington Post has reported that the White House had launched a secret effort to justify the hold on military aid to Ukraine, weeks after President Trump had ordered it. Lev Parnas, an associate of Rudy Giuliani arrested and charged with campaign finance violations, claims that Devin Nunes, the ranking Republican in the House Intelligence Committee and a stalwart Trump ally, traveled to Vienna in 2018, where he sought dirt on Joe Biden from ex-Ukrainian prosecutor general Viktor Shokin. Nunes denies the allegation, and Ethics Committee Democrats are considering opening an ethics probe into the matter. As the Intelligence Committee mulls the contents of potential articles of impeachment over the Thanksgiving recess, they want to hear from former White House Counsel Don McGahn, reportedly to decide whether they could include the 10 instances of obstruction of justice detailed in the Mueller Report. A court is expected to decide today whether McGahn is legally required to testify.

The Nixon impeachment ended with a smoking gun. The Trump probe started there, with the call transcript. That could be a problem for Dems trying to hold the country's attention. On today’s episode, a look at the probe, the public and the latest headlines with Michael Isikoff, chief investigative correspondent for Yahoo News, host of the podcast "Conspiracyland," co-host of the "Skullduggery" podcast and co-author of Russian Roulette: The Inside Story of Putin's War on America and the Election of Donald Trump (Twelve, 2018). Where are we on impeachment today? Following the second week of public testimonies, the Washington Post has reported that the White House had launched a secret effort to justify the hold on military aid to Ukraine, weeks after President Trump had ordered it.
