Summary of Jamie Raskin's Unthinkable

Get the Summary of Jamie Raskin's Unthinkable in 20 minutes. Please note: This is a summary & not the original book. Original book introduction: On December 31, 2020, Tommy Raskin, the only son of Maryland Congressman Jamie Raskin, tragically took his own life after a long struggle with depression. Seven days later on January 6, Congressman Raskin returned to Congress to help certify the 2020 presidential election results when violent insurrectionists led by right-wing extremist groups stormed the US Capitol, hoping to hand four more years of power to President Donald Trump. As our reeling nation mourned the deaths of numerous people and lamented the injuries of more than 140 police officers hurt in the attack, Congressman Raskin, a Constitutional law professor, was called upon to put aside his overwhelming grief - both personal and professional - and lead the impeachment effort against President Trump for inciting the violence. Together, this nine-member team of House impeachment managers riveted a nation still in anguish, putting on an unprecedented Senate trial that produced the most bipartisan presidential impeachment vote in American history.
