Norm Eisen, who served as a Democratic impeachment counsel, gave an insider account of the effort to remove Trump
In short, Eisen’s book is “This Town” for the impeachment era, an X-ray vision view of Washington’s seamy interconnectedness, transplanted to the most consequential stage of all: the floor of the U.S. Senate during a doomed attempt to remove Trump from office.
“‘Norm Eisen, what are you doing here?’” Eisen recalls Conway asking. “I evaded her question, genuinely concerned she would put the kibosh on the negotiations. After some not-so-gentle teasing back and forth about which of us was more corrupt, she said she was on her way to see the president. “‘I’ll tell him I saw you!’” she said, per Eisen’s telling.
“Shortly after the call, I asked Jerry if he thought Trump was doing it to rub it in or to lord it over him after he felt ill,” Eisen writes. “‘Absolutely not,’ he said without hesitation. Jerry said Trump sounded lonely and that it was an opportunity for him to make a connection — yes, with an adversary, but nonetheless one who had known him the longest of all of his current primary antagonists.”
— because of the efforts Judiciary Committee staff to drive the House toward impeachment before she and the caucus were ready. Another undercurrent throughout Eisen’s book is disappointment. He’s consistently let down by figures he viewed as principled who, by the end of the impeachment trial, he came to see as corrupted by the influence of Trump — he names William Barr and Rod Rosenstein, who Eisen has known since 1993 when he says they vied for the same Justice Department job.
