Podcast provides essentials of impeachment trial

Lawfare has teamed up with Goat Rodeo, a Washington, D.C.-based creative audio agency, to produce a podcast with abbreviated version of the ongong impeachment proceedings in the U.S. Senate.

If we don’t have the time or stomach to sit through the whole trial, this collaboration is your way of following the proceedings, absent the procedural wrangling and repetition.

On January 21, 2020 The Impeachment Trial of President Donald Trump will begin. Each day, on the Senate floor, the case for and against his impeachment and removal from office will be made to Senators. During this trial there will be dozens of hours of speeches, testimony, and procedures. Impeachment is one of the most consequential actions taken by our government. And while the proceedings of the impeachment trial should be carefully heard by each and every American, the reality is most do not have the luxury of sitting through the daily grind of lengthy testimony. Which is why Lawfare & Goat Rodeo are going to be releasing a daily cut of the impeachment distilled to a manageable and accessible podcast. This abridged version will contain the compelling and substantial elements of throughout the day. No analysis. No punditry. Simply the unfolding events in the Senate.

    I will be so amused if the Democrats loose the war, but win the battle for John Bolton’s testimony.
    Extremely conservative Bolton, will not give Democrats what they want! No matter dreams, Bolton will wind up delivering the end of trial by standing with President Trump and Republicans. How desperate to rely on Him, while compromising Vice President Biden’s and With Hid son’s testimony! Senators Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren will devour The Biden’s in vengeance.
    Too old to drink Milk and Water in long tortures trial, alchol and iPhone detox, not free, forced by duty to endure…The ending, like MULLER REPORT snails pace, followed by senile babble by aged seniors….very sad!
