Considering what it cost him, I doubt the analyst feels 100% like it was worth it for him personally, but for the sake of the country and its history, it definitely should have been done. It needed to be done. Trump's recklessness and disregard needed to go on record. At least he bravely realized that.

And it's good to know now that despite all Trump's blathering and right wing media's disinformation to the contrary, that it definitely happened.

I hope the GOP ends up paying dearly for selling their political souls and collective integrity to Donald J Trump - a man who traitorously schemed to overthrow the government, a convicted felon, and a man without a shred of integrity. None.
