Description
On our first big impeachment podcast show, Mother Jones Washington D.C. Bureau Chief David Corn gives you the latest news direct from the hallway outside the House Intelligence Committee room on Capitol Hill, reacting to the partisan theatrics as they unfold on live television, while detailing the mounting case against Trump.
Then you’ll hear from editor and reporter Hayes Brown, the host of the new daily podcast from BuzzFeed and iHeartRadio, Impeachment Today. Brown will help you get to the bottom of one of the biggest emerging themes: the weaponization of conspiracy theories and misinformation to intimidate and incriminate witnesses. It can be mind-boggling to understand all the moving pieces and multitudinous cast members on this impeachment stage, but Hayes breaks it down with a big shot of energy, and lots of laughs.
And finally: you know how everyone compares Trump to Richard Nixon? In fact, MoJo podcast favorite Tim Murphy returns to the studio to explain why the closest historical precedent to this Trump scandal is not Watergate, but the impeachment of President Andrew Johnson.
Keep up-to-date with all things impeachment on our daily Impeachapalooza blog at MotherJones.com/impeachment. And here are some of the stories you heard during this episode:
“Republicans Spent the First Day of Impeachment Hearings in an Alternate Reality”, by David Corn.
“Impeachment Day 3: Republicans Continue Their Attack on Reason and Reality," by David Corn.
