Dear John,

Amid the impeachment furor, don’t lose sight of the renewed importance of protecting the integrity of the 2020 election.

As we’ve learned, Trump uses whatever leverage he can get, for personal gain. That’s the art of the deal. He believes he’s invincible. He’s now daring our entire constitutional and political system to stop him.

As our latest video shows, the biggest difference between Nixon's abuse of power in 1972 and Trump's today: Nixon's was discovered during his second term -- so he had no incentive to do more damage to our elections. Knowing Trump, he has every incentive to do additional damage. We must be vigilant in protecting the 2020 election.

The real value of the formal impeachment now under way is to put Trump on notice that he can’t necessarily get away with abusing his presidential power to win re-election.

He will still try, of course. But at least a line has been drawn. And now everyone is watching.

Regardless of how the impeachment turns out, Trump’s predation can be constrained as long as his presidency can be ended with the 2020 election. If that election is distorted, and if this man is re-elected, all bets are off.

Thanks for watching,
Robert Reich
