DEMOCRATS ARE LEARNING: IT’S NOT 2017 ALL OVER AGAIN. This week, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), the top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, raised the prospect of impeaching President Donald Trump over the Justice Department’s decision to withdraw the indictment of New York City Mayor Eric Adams. The Trump administration is engaged in “an attack on the Department of Justice for engaging in corruption prosecutions,” Raskin told CBS on Sunday. Such behavior “could be impeachable in a different political environment.”

A shorter version is that you can bet the bank Raskin would be gung-ho to impeach Trump if there were only a “different political environment.” The problem, of course, is that the Constitution specifies that impeachment must begin in the House of Representatives, which is, at the moment, controlled by Republicans. But the gap between the parties is incredibly narrow, and who knows what will happen in the 2026 midterm elections.
