Impeach: The Case Against Donald Trump; Neal Katyal, Sam Koppleman; 2019 (Dec); Mariner Books; 156 pgs, notes, exhibits

This book was banged out in two weeks and published just before Trump was actually impeached.  In this case, I think the word  "impeach" really means  "impeach and convict (i.e.: remove from office)". It is remarkably current considering the pace of events.

Katyal is a regular on MSNBC and worked in the Obama Whitehouse. He is a Constitutional scholar and Professor of Constitutional Law.  The book is a quick read. The writing is concise and clear.

He outlines the history of impeachment first. He then examines the evidence, and the case against DJT.  The legal issues are well explained . He finds himself teaching the American people  law in the usual way: establish a set  of hypothetical circumstances, and then explore the legal consequences.  
Except this time, the circumstances are real, and USA is dealing with a bizzaro hypothetical come to life. Finally, he offers up some legislative patches that might make it harder for the next out-of-control President to follow in DJT's footprints.

The Whistler-Blower's statement is in it in full. It was compelling reading. The WB really did his homework well.

Katyal lays out the case why DJT must be removed from office very convincingly. I could go through the long list of things that Trump has done, but they are well known and there is no point in my summarizing a summary.

The book is not expensive and is out in paperback. Read it for yourself.
