Deflections, accusations, and muddying the water Dec 12, 2019

Show notes

Another day, another step closer to impeachment as the House Judiciary Committee debated the specific charges formally cast against President Trump.

Will the impeachment saga ultimately benefit him?

Impeachment is in the eye of the beholder Dec 11, 2019

Show notes

President Trump claims he's not intimidated by the charges against him, calling them "impeachment-lite."

Plus, the intense partisan divide in Washington subsumes the Inspector General's report about the investigation into Trump's campaign. CNN political director David Chalian is joined by CNN senior Washington correspondent Joe Johns and CNN political commentator Alice Stewart.
