Pro-impeachment Democrats want Americans to see Richard Nixon when they look at Donald Trump
“I think that is the common wisdom at this point,” said Ohio Rep. Steve Chabot, one of two remaining Judiciary Committee Republicans who served on the panel during the Clinton impeachment fight. “Nobody knows for sure. But my advice to the Democrats having been through this before is to be very careful. And I think that should they decide to move forward on this, with the facts we have here, I think they’re in very dangerous waters for their political well-being.
“There’s a reason why Democratic candidates are having to think about the answer to that question,” said Michael Feldman, a longtime Democratic operative who worked in the Clinton White House and then served as Al Gore’s traveling chief of staff during the 2000 presidential campaign. “It’s not an easy question. It’s not apples to apples. There are differences for sure.
“I think it’s a completely inappropriate analysis to do,” said Rhode Island Democratic Rep. David Cicilline, another pro-impeachment House Judiciary Committee member. “This is about the defense of our democracy, upholding the rule of the law, demonstrating that no one in America including the president of the United States is above the law.”
No doubt, both of the modern American impeachment sagas — Nixon’s and Clinton’s — have loomed over the Trump White House from its start.
