On the Costs of Not Impeaching

A woman holds a sign expressing her opinion about impeaching President Donald Trump at a rally organized by Women's March NYC at Foley Square in Lower Manhattan, Saturday, Jan. 19, 2019, in New York.

Drawing on her experience covering Watergate, Elizabeth Drew argues the risks of not seeking to impeach the president outweigh the risks of doing so, even without Senate support. Drew is a veteran journalist, contributing editor to The New Republic and author of Washington Journal: Reporting Watergate and Richard Nixon's Downfall (The Overlook Press, 2014).
