As puts it in , it's important to remember that "impeachment is a process, not an outcome." It's an important point as the impeachment debate inevitably sweeps through the Democratic primary field.

The House approves an impeachment inquiry on October 8. House Judiciary reconvenes after the GOP loses ground in the election, and hears from some expert panels. But instead of calling their own direct witnesses, they rely entirely on Starr’s testimony and his report.

8. I don’t think the scattershot approach of separate committee hearings serves the same role, and I think past presidential scandals bear that out. But Ezra’s points are serious and well-argued, and deserve to be considered. My own case is here:

7. Hearings provide a way for Congress to sort conspiracy theories from red herrings from substantive charges; to focus public attention on what *it* thinks matters most; to ask not just whether crimes were committed, but whether a president is fit for office.

6. That process matters. Ezra argues, fairly, that “the public does not lack for opportunities to examine the evidence for and against Trump.” But it’s also true that one scandal eclipses the next, only to be pushed aside by some new tweet or provocation.

5. That this largely backfired on the GOP was both predictable and predicted; it short-circuited the process, failing to build the sustained public case for what it was doing, or to examine the evidence and weigh testimony itself.

4. Instead of embarking on the sort of independent fact-finding process I’ve called for—staff interviews, evidence, public hearings—a lame-duck Congress heard from a single witness, Ken Starr, and then voted articles to the floor based on his report.

3. You’ll hear this a lot. It shapes the thinking of House leadership, which was in Congress in 1998. There are lots of reasons, though, why 1998 is the least useful precedent here. The biggest is this: The House didn’t hold hearings!

2. I want to focus on a couple passages, though, like this one: "As happened to Republicans in 1998, impeachment proceedings will shift the focus from the president’s misdeeds, which are grave, to the question of whether he should be ripped from office."

I’ve read every issue of the Atlantic since 1991, and am happy to have made the print edition for the first time. Even if it’s only this once, I was in there! This is on the kiddish element in playful speech lately.

My favorite detail here: Early American Jews, without access to kosher wine, drank everything from hard cider to clear Jamaican rum. (Imagining a seder sped along by four cups of unadulterated rum.)

Here’s a preliminary answer (). The bottom line is that Mueller just confirmed what I argued then—the question of presidential misconduct properly belongs before Congress, and it can’t outsource it to federal prosecutors.
