Host Dennis Leap and guest Deborah Leap discuss Charles Krauthammer’s essay “The Inner Man? Who Cares.” Written at the time of Richard Nixon’s impeachment, this essay discusses the folly of attempting to interpret the inner thoughts of politicians. The Leaps also reference current articles by Victor Davis Hanson, showing that Washington elites want to punish U.S. President Donald Trump for “thoughts" they believe are crimes. Krauthammer’s essay shows history is repeating itself with the Trump impeachment process.
