Author of Its Even Worse Than It Looks on the GOP and Trump impeachment inquiry – Vox.com

The core question this impeachment process is raising isnt What did Donald Trump do? The hearings have filled in important details and added confirming witnesses, but the story is largely the one weve known since the White House released the call record.

Instead, the core question the hearings are raising is: What will Republicans accept and defend? The answer, at least judging by the arguments of Reps. Devin Nunes and Jim Jordan, is chilling.

On this weeks episode of Impeachment, Explained, Andrew Prokop joins me to analyze the first, and perhaps only, week of public impeachment inquiry. Then, Thomas Mann, co-author of Its Even Worse Than It Looks joins me to discuss how the Republican Party became the institution on display in this process.
