DEMS/IMPEACHMENT/LEGAL/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “Call them the Democrats’ impeachment squad. Over the past year, House Democrats have tapped a font of outside legal experts to essentially manage the weighty, historic task of investigating, litigating — and now impeaching — President Donald Trump. Most of them were brought on to investigate Trump’s political and financial ties to Russia. But they will be remembered as the team that helped impeach Trump over Ukraine. In all, at least two dozen attorneys have come on board to craft both the legal and political arguments that Trump is defying all manner of constitutional norms. A few have become stars in their own right, serving as both lead interrogator and witness during the nationally televised impeachment hearings. Most of them were brought on to investigate Trump’s political and financial ties to Russia. But they will be remembered as the team that helped impeach Trump over Ukraine.”
