CBS All Access‘ The Good Fight will explore the process in which Democrats — smelling blood in the water after the midterm elections — might seek to impeach President Trump, and the firm of Reddick, Boseman & Kolstad is solicited to help in that endeavor.
Previewing the seventh episode of Season 2, which is tentatively titled “Shameless,” series co-creator Robert King said at the Television Critics Association winter press tour on Saturday, “We’re satirizing the Democratic [party] licking their chops at the possibility of turning the House over, and impeachment. They want to have their ducks in a row when they [potentially regain a majority] in November, so they’re auditioning a lot of law firms to see who would be best to prosecute in an impeachment.”
Enter Reddick, Boseman & Kolstad, which as an African-American firm offers the Democrats an interesting option. “It’s really a satire of Democrats wanting to impeach a sitting president in a way that would make them angry if it were Republicans going after Obama. A lot of it is, ‘If you wanted to execute the 25h Amendment, how would you do it?'”
But as King learned in prepping the episode, the impeachment process is actually “pretty f–ked…. The 25th Amendment is not really a sensible possibility.”
King said that the episode isn’t a love letter to Democrats, but in fact will cast the impeachment-seeking entity in an at-times unflattering light. “[New cast member] Audra McDonald’s character thinks that the way to prosecute impeachment is to be as shameless as what they think Trump is,” he shares. “It seemed like a very interesting way to represent the Democratic intensity… moving to Trump’s playing field.
“The bottom line is the best way to attack it is to do the same thing. When they go low, we go lower,” he adds. And as such,”You don’t know which one you support at the end.”
The Good Fight Season 2 premieres Sunday, March 4.

I am glad I have no interests in this trashy show.
So uninterested you read the story and commented on it.
Or like me, read it to see how much further entertainment liberals are becoming over the current President and be amused by just how ridiculous they are becoming.
Sounds like a massive case of projection to me. The only thing ridiculous is POTUS treating the threat of nuclear war like a teenage boy in a measuring contest.
Sounds as if you are the one “projecting”, DL! Liberals have displayed their Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS), for over a year. Americans who are in the middle, see how dishonest and childish, Democrats are. Be prepared to lose seats later this year, DL. The reason will be TDS, and an economy growing at 4%. If you think polls mean something, see 2016…
DL — you weren’t complaining, though, when Obama was bending over backwards to get Iran weapons-grade plutonium, helping Hezbollah traffic narcotics, and other capitulations and enabling of foreign states that are engaged in promoting radical Islam cells and all which that entails.
Maybe he should give the the Iranians another two pallets of cash so they like us better
Triggered!
Off topic. And the comments following are also way off topic. I thought you were monitoring comments.
Oh, golly gee…where did you read that?The Crybaby Times?
Good Call !
No. Not interested in the show. But was curious about what left leaning hollywood types
are going to next as a result of their irrational hatred of this president.
Nah, the hate is totally rational, since he’s a horrible human being and a terrible President. What’s irrational is people like you who continue to support him no matter what he says or does. He was right when he said he could shoot someone and Republicans would still vote for him. The one thing he’s been right about (go ahead and google that if you think I’m making it up).
Rational. You use that word, but I don’t think it means what you think it means…
Have an infinite capacity to read, whether it is garbage like this or something of actual merit.
It’s sad that they are making an episode to degrade the president just because they don’t like him. And to top it off, they say republicans are the ones that lie and cheat.
It’s not merely because they don’t like him. It’s because he is mentally ill and potentially able to destroy the planet on one of his routine childish whims.
Well if Trump’s 2017 Accomplishments are a measure that he is Mentally Ill – I hope he goes entirely insane in 2018

Yeah! And that was just in his FIRST year! Please keep posting those FACTS for all to see. Thanks, Matthew!
Your comment is totally unfair. Just because he has shown leadership, the ability to get things done, and done what
he promised in his campaign means nothing. It is much more important that he is mean to people who attack him, willing
to say what he thinks and what a large part of america thinks, and little interest in the feelings of the left and their current state of
dementia.
And what does this have to do in regards to “The Good Fight” TV show? Please tvline – MONITOR THE COMMENTS AND REMOVE THOSE THAT ARE OFF TOPIC!
OFF TOPIC!!! This is a place to comment about the CBS series “The Good Fight” and NOT about praising your mythological representation of Trump as some kind of God-like Messiah. What about the episode? The portrayal of the actors? MONITOR THE COMMENTS PLEASE tvline!!
Are you feeling triggered?
Time to tattle to teacher!
Maybe YOU are the “mentally ill” person, and not our great President Trump!
You libs screamed about “collusion” and now that that’s collapsing, you’re switching to the “mental capacity” sham. I think it’s clear who’s the actual mentally ill contingent.
Drew Mack, Most rational folks do not like the current pres because he lies constantly and has encouraged racism and has caused so much division in this country… Your Pres argues with Kim J U as if they are little kids…Your pres sure spends a lot of time on twitter arguing with people and bragging about himself.. At least President Obama was classy, very mature , had knowledge of his job and took his job seriously..
Liberal Fan-Fiction lol
Glad I never ordered CBS steaming. Even gladder now!!
Did anyone actually read the article? King says they’re “satirizing the Democratic (Party) licking their chops” and that it becomes “when they go low you go lower” so “you don’t know which one you support at the end”. It hardly sounds like liberal fan fiction, please try reading before commenting.
Republicans don’t read past the headline you should know that by now.
Well one could say the headline is kind of misleading.. of course, calling it “TGF mocks Democrats for going lower than Republicans in their attempt to impeach Trump” would call for even more people who won’t read past that headline
Yeah, let’s just paint the ENTIRE Republican party with the same broad brush, because they are all the same, right?
If you want to be taken seriously, avoid ridiculous blanket statements like this.
Thank you. Some of these folks….smh
I read it, bu it is still disgraceful.
Unbelievable that you would believe that. They are just trying to get an audience. They know that this scenario will lose them a chunk of the few viewers this show has.
Truly insane. To quote perverted rag publisher Wolf, it’s the PRESS who have totally “lost it!” President Trump’s accomplishments for our country will live long beyond the sick lives of these disturbed “reporters”.
It really scares me, how brainwashed Trump supporters are. There are no accomplishments yet, and the country will be lucky if it comes unharmed out of this presidency. #FourLostYears
Gorsuch
He killed Ledell Lee.
Stolen seat. It belongs to Merrick Garland. Note how McConnell didn’t wait on the tax bill when Doug Jones got elected in Alabama. They forced it through with Luther Strange. He doesn’t care about the will of the voters, just the will of his donors. Massive hypocrisy. SAD.
Kinda like when Obama and the Demonrats decided to change the senate rules after Scott Brown won in MA taking away the 60th vote required to pass the no-Republican supported ACA.
It really scares me how brainwashed by the media liberals are. See, I can generalize too. And fyi, liberals reaming the President but having done worse behind closed doors for decades (I’m looking at you Hollywood) should clue you in on the hypocrisy of those you support.
#EightGreatYears… See how your childish hashtag works, MP?
#SevenMoreYearsOfLiberalTears
No, 0bama was in the white house for 8 years
‘good wife’ and ‘fight’ have no problem with putting the boot into both parties over the years.
now its the republicans’ turn.
hope the NSA boys are back too.
The article clearly states it’s the democrats turn. It’s a satire of the democrats
LOL, they’re just straight-up trolling Trump supporters now. Do you not realize that cries of “I have no desire to watch this liberal trash!!!” from people who never intended to watch it ANYWAY are exactly the reaction they’re trying to provoke?
Don’t buy the hype. It will portray Democrats as HEROES and they’ll finally impeach Trump. It’s a call to arms. You’ll see…
I won’t be watching!
Anyone ever notice that ALL white characters in this series are characterized as being deficient, immoral, unethical, deceitful, or criminal?
Nobody will watch this garbage show
Democrats only work on the next election and destroying people in the process – thats their agenda – always has been and always will be – If dems would put their destructive nature into positive ideas for the country, the country would prosper beyond imagination.
We’ll pass on CBS All Access. Netflix it is.
I fear this will just turn more leftist/liberals into Trump haters, even though he hasn’t done anything wrong. For the first time in years, our country is headed in the right direction, our economy is booming, illegal immigration is down, our paychecks will be larger because of Tax Reform, we no longer have to pay the Obamacare “mandate” tax, and on and on. These are are all things our President promised during his campaign, and he’s keeping his promises. More will follow. This show is ill advised.
so you push the lies and propaganda of the deep state , how special well you people can be all together in that special place QANON HAS FOR YOU
Makes perfect sense to me. The progressives see their only way to power as an impeachment of the President- knowing in their guts that once the people actually experience a rebirth of economic power, American values and the American dream that there is no way they will be able to win a Presidential election especially against President Trump. They have to be getting more and more desperate. And when the full turn-around comes and they criminality of the Clinton-Obama party is in full display there will be no where for them to hide.
Trump won the election fair and square – just because the media/celebrities and Democrats don’t like him (they loved him when he was a Democrat by the way and gave them money along with helping Hollywood with their projects) they can’t impeach him. He’s done nothing, he won – Hillary didn’t – GET OVER IT!!!
Can I ask though…isn’t it against the law to try to take down an election. When is someone going after these people for spending a year doing that????
How did these people get renewed…this stuff has to end.
More liberal fantasy TV. They see something on TV and it’s real. Pssst: TV is make believe.
For liberals, this type of show is like being in mommy’s basement–a safe space where they can dream the impossible dream.
How can a nation, spoiled by social engineers, look at a hard-working president and hate him without any consideration? So many Americans see their future in the hands of big government, completely ignoring the tenets that gave them their freedoms…
These being Washington attorney’s, I presume they can read?
Wow, CBS expects us to subscribe to their streaming service to watch this garbage?
CBS doesn’t just hate Trump, they hate the entire half of the public that supports him. That’s neither a psychologically healthy nor economically sustainable situation.
