Article snippet: “Veep” star Julia Louis Dreyfus revealed during her Emmys acceptance speech that the show had planned for an impeachment to take place but dropped it in case President Trump was impeached. Dreyfus, who won her eighth Emmy for outstanding lead actress for her role as Selina Meyers — and her sixth for that part alone — revealed the dropped plot line to laughs during her speech. “We did have a whole storyline about an impeachment but we abandoned that because we were worried someone else might get to it first,” Dreyfus said. Dreyfus also took a jab at Trump in her 2015 acceptance speech for the same award. “I think it would be appropriate at this moment to quote [our show]. ’What a great honor it must be for you to honor me tonight,’” she said at the time. “Oh wait, oh God. No, no. I’m so sorry. MORE said that,” Dreyfus quickly added. Some Democrats have proposed impeaching Trump following his inauguration, citing obstruction of justice.
