IMPEACHMENT/MEDIA/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “On Thursday [1-17-19], The Atlantic is coming out with a magazine cover that’s going to stand out on the newsstand. Editor in chief Jeffrey Goldberg emailed subscribers on Wednesday [1-16-19] night to give them ‘the opportunity to read it first.’ The cover story, authored by Yoni Appelbaum, is titled ‘The Case for Impeachment.’ He argues that impeaching President Trump is ‘the antidote to chaos,’ not the chaos trigger that many people fear it would be…By making this the cover story, Goldberg and co. are making a strong statement. This cover story was going to be shared online in a few weeks, but Goldberg moved it up. In his email to subscribers, he said he was motivated by two events: ‘The Trump-caused government shutdown, unmatched in length and consequence, and the debate over whether the 45th president of the United States is secretly operating on behalf of Russia.'”
