The Democrats’ special impeachment counsel
on the House Judiciary Committee lays out President Trump’s shocking pattern of
betrayals, lies, and high crimes, arguing articles of impeachment to the
ultimate judges: the American people.
In his
behind-the-scenes account of the attempts to bring the president to
justice—from filing the very first legal actions against him, through the
Mueller report, to the turbulent impeachment and trial, to the president’s
ongoing wrongdoing today—Norman Eisen, at the forefront of the battle since the
day of Trump’s inauguration, pulls back the curtain on the process. He reveals
ten proposed articles of impeachment, not just the two that were publicly
tried, all of which he had a hand in drafting. He then guides us through
Trump’s lifelong instincts that have dictated his presidency: a cycle of abuse,
corruption, and relentless obstruction of the truth.
Since
taking the oath of office, Donald Trump has been on a spree of high crimes and
misdemeanors, using the awesome power of the presidency for his own personal
gain, at the expense of the American people. He has inflamed our divisions for
his electoral benefit, with flagrant disregard for the Constitution that makes
us America. Each step of the way, he has lied incessantly, including to cover
up his crimes. And yet he remains in the country’s highest office.
Congress,
federal and state prosecutors, and courts have worked to hold the president
accountable for his myriad offenses—with some surprising successes and
devastating failures. Eisen, who served as special counsel to the House
Judiciary Committee for Trump’s impeachment and trial, presents the case
against Trump anew. Eisen’s gripping narrative and rousing closing argument—at
turns revelatory, insightful, and enraging—will inspire our nation of judges.
History has proven that this president’s nefarious behavior will continue, no
matter the crisis. But, as Eisen’s candid retelling affirms, there is an
ultimate constitutional power that transcends the president’s, a power that can
and must defeat him if our nation is to survive. The verdict of the American
people remains in the balance. It is time for us to act.
