Perspective: How the Mueller report could end the Trump presidency without impeachment
Special counsel Robert S. Mueller III leaves Martin’s Tavern in Georgetown this month. By Jasmin Bath Jasmin Bath is a historian of 19th century political and economic culture, and recent graduate of Queen Mary, University of London. May 13 at 6:00 AM Democrats are wary of the political perils of impeachment, even as many have concluded that special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s report offers evidence that President Trump obstructed justice.
In 1856, Buchanan, a Democrat, won the presidency with 174 of 296 electoral college votes. While these returns suggest Buchanan captured victory comfortably, that was not the case. He carried only five non-slave-holding states, and even his home state of Pennsylvania was hotly contested. Nicknamed the Covode Committee after its chairman, John Covode, it produced a detailed majority report that exposed the crimes of the Democratic Party and the president himself. The sheer volume of corruption uncovered was startling.
So when the nation went to the polls during the contentious 1860 election, the results of which would eventually spark the Civil War, they had the Covode report on their minds. Even though the Republican Party had pledged to stop the extension of slavery — a policy that ensured Lincoln did not win a single Southern state — they also pledged to oust a corrupt Democratic Party.
