“Something truly terrible happened on Jan. 6, and confronting it is essential to healing our divided nation.” The hearings aren’t “simply about holding Mr. Trump, his allies and the flag-draped thugs storming the halls to account. The hearings challenge all Americans to recommit to the principles of democracy, ask how important those values are to us and face the threats posed to our democratic way of life.”

“Impeachments are among the fastest ways to traumatize a divided nation. That’s why this page has been reluctant to endorse calls for the House of Representatives to launch a formal impeachment investigation into President Trump. But this week the president crossed a new line.” If the President “won’t come clean about Ukraine, an impeachment inquiry is the only option.”
