Washington Post (February 14)
“It’s a sign of how far and how fast the ex-president has fallen that opponents of impeachment rationalized their votes by saying, as McConnell did, that Trump must still confront the “criminal justice system” and “civil litigation.” You’re in trouble when your would-be friends are saying you should be prosecuted rather than impeached.”

LA Times (January 13)
“Trump was rightly impeached. Now the Senate must do its job and convict…. There is no reasonable way to defend how Trump undermined the public’s faith in elections for his own gain, or how he recklessly stoked the passions of his followers in the hope of intimidating Congress into voiding Biden’s win.”

New York Times (January 7)
“It wasn’t hard to see, when it began, that it would end exactly the way it has. Donald Trump is America’s willful arsonist, the man who lit the match under the fabric of our constitutional republic.” He should be immediately impeached and convicted. “Trump is too dangerous to leave in office for even another minute.”
The Hill (January 5)
“Democrats promised to demand answers on his personal taxes, foreign business dealings, family charity, and other areas beyond the Russia investigation. This reflects a strategy that not only targets Trump but counts on him to be successful. They are relying on his description of himself as a “counterpuncher” to supply the grounds of his removal. Yes, Trump could counterpunch himself into getting impeached.

The Week (May 10)
“We know how the Trump administration will end. Whether or not Trump ends up impeached, we know that it will end not because of an attempted coup d’état, but because of incompetence and an endless series of shootings in the foot.”

Chosun Ilbo (May 9)
Koreans elect their next president today, five months since the National Assembly impeached Park Geun-hye…. Korea had to endure unprecedented conflict and chaos over the past few months, and society continues to be divided along generational lines as many older people cling to certainties to which they have become accustomed. Many hope that things will now return to normal.”
