On today's 'BradCast':\xa0 As we go to air, Donald Trump is still in office, but the walls are closing in. President-elect Joe Biden described Trump as 'not fit to serve.'\xa0 Fallout grows from Trump's incitement of an attempted insurrection at the nation's Capitol that has now claimed 5 lives, including that of a Capitol Police officer. Speaker Nancy Pelosi issued an ultimatum, announcing Trump must resign or the U.S. House will file new Articles of Impeachment on Monday. Administration rats continue to flee Trump's sinking ship with more resignations. Trump announced he will not attend Biden's inauguration. Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) called on Trump to resign. Dominion Voting Systems sued Team Trump attorney Sidney Powell for defamation, seeking damages of $1.3 billion for her demonstrably false claims about the company in the 2020 election. Constitutional expert and former federal prosecutor BEN CLEMENTS of the non-partisan government accountability group, Free Speech for People (FSFP), explains why accountability for the 'seditious' President of the United States is of the greatest immediate concern and the only sure way to ensure that Donald Trump is not permitted to run for federal office ever again in this country. Clements discusses the timeline of a second impeachment (even after Trump leaves office), the constitutionality of a presidential self-pardon, specific actions necessary to restore the integrity of the Justice Department and other federal institutions, and why Democrats must resist the temptation to 'look forward and not back,' inviting more lawless activity, and must ensure accountability for the destruction that Trump and his administration have wrought on our democracy.
