NOTES
Read by Robert Fass and Annamarie Carlson
Having spent a year essentially embedded inside several House committees, Michael D'Antonio and Peter Eisner draw on many sources, including key House leaders, to expose the politicking, playcalling, and strategies debated backstage and to explain the Democrats' successes and apparent public failures during the show itself. Opening with Nancy Pelosi deciding the House should take up impeachment, then, in part one, leaps back to explain what Ukraine was "really" all about: not just Joe Biden and election interference, but a money grab and oil. In the second part, the authors recount key meetings throughout the run-up to the impeachment hearings, including many of the heated confrontations between the Trump administration and House Democrats. And the third part takes listeners behind the scenes of those hearings, showing why certain things happened the way they did for reasons that never came up in public
