Radio host Hugh Hewitt said President Donald Trump might actually come to relish doing battle over any efforts to impeach him.
Hewitt’s comments came in a column posted by The Washington Post on Monday.
“It will be a ratings bonanza,” Hewitt said. “Who likes ratings bonanzas? Who can command the media — or any particular outlet — and appear on 10 minutes notice? Who, in short, might learn to love ‘the process?’ Trump, of course.
“It isn’t a normal presidency seeking normal historical achievements. He already has some of those in his massive tax cut, his two justices on the Supreme Court, a much-needed military rebuild and a new realism regarding China. This president can look at his markers already down on the table and actually come to relish the battle.
“Don’t be surprised. Be prepared.”
Hewitt maintained a sitting president cannot be indicted and would have to be subject to impeachment proceedings for any high crimes or misdemeanors. And he noted the notion that House Democrats are “going to drive toward a vote on one or more articles of impeachments seems, to me, predestined.”
"The animal need for House members to be on television, combined with the already accelerating race for the Democratic presidential nomination, guarantees that one dynamic will feed off the other as surely hurricanes do over warm ocean water," Hewitt said. "The big blowoff is coming. It will last months and months."
But he pointed out it is unlikely the Senate would ever convict the president since it would require a two-thirds vote from the lawmakers.
