It's Always Been About Driving Trump From Office

Talk of impeaching President Trump is everywhere. But Democrats have been pining for Trump's impeachment since before he even set foot in the White House. Michael Cohen's guilty plea is just the latest excuse to bring it up.

A Politico headline that ran soon after the Cohen plea went public read: "Legal blows fuel impeachment fears." A more accurate headline would have been: "Legal blows fuel impeachment hopes."

For Trump haters, it's always been about impeachment. The only challenge has been to find something to impeach Trump with.

Even before Trump secured the Republican Party nomination, some Democrats were talking about impeaching him. And throughout his presidency, every twist and turn of various investigations and every breathless — and often faulty — "bombshell" news story, every alleged foreign policy misstep, has sparked a new round of impeachment talk.

More than a year ago, for example, the New York Times ran a lengthy story explaining how the impeachment process worked. That was back when the press was sure that Trump obstructed justice by supposedly urging former FBI Director James Comey to drop his investigation into Michael Flynn.
