White House News, Midterms, and Impeachment

The Brian Lehrer Show | Oct 16, 2018

Peter Baker, New York Times chief White House correspondent and contributor to Impeachment: An American History, talks about today's news in Washington and looks back at the Clinton impeachment.

.@peterbakernyt: Democrats are ducking the impeachment issue, looking to appeal more broadly to electorate, but "there's such a hunger" in the Democratic base for impeachment, it's hard to imagine that the leadership doesn't do something to satisfy it--public inquiry or hearings

Caller is right about Election Integrity. Why aren't the Democrats calling for that? Why do they focus on cutting off the head of the snake when they can starve it?

@BrianLehrer reply to your listener who says we shouldn't impeach because it will "rip the country apart." What have Trump and the Republicans been doing for several years? How do we stop THEM from continuing to rip the country apart.
