Another Sham Impeachment

Resolute Square
About this episode

Here we go again! This week on The Enemies List, Rick is joined by law professor and impeachment expert Michael Gerhardt to discuss the GOP’s recent articles of impeachment filed against President Biden. Gerhardt analyzes the historical context and the glaring lack of credible evidence compared to past impeachments of Nixon, Clinton, and Trump. And he and Rick dissect the political motives and dangerous implications of the weaponization of impeachment, and how Team Biden should respond.

Pre-order Michael's new book "The Law of Presidential Impeachment: A Guide for the Engaged Citizen."
