Douglas Golden Published November 27, 2019 at 7:07am Jonathan Turley is a liberal legal scholar, although one who’s deviated from the left’s consensus on major political issues. For instance, he was a prominent voice calling for the impeachment of President Clinton in 1998. And, when House Republicans sued the Obama administration over Obamacare in 2014, Turley was their lawyer. All of which is to say that many on the left consider him a contrarian traitor, while many on the right consider him an opponent who (very) occasionally makes sense. One of those instances, for conservatives, would be on the current issue of impeachment of President Donald Trump. On that matter, one could rightly say he went off the liberal reservation during an appearance on Friday’s “CBS This Morning,” where he said that an impeachment vote in the House could create “the trial that Trump wants.” In addition to Turley, the discussion featured Kim Wehle, a legal analyst who writes for the nominally conservative, if vociferously anti-Trump, website The Bulwark (Bill Kristol’s new project after The Weekly Standard closed shop). Wehle said the Democrats had “absolutely” made their case. Turley, not so much. According to Newsbusters, asked why he didn’t think Democrats didn’t have a case, Turley said that the impeachment inquiry was “certainly the shortest investigation, it’s certainly the thinnest evidentiary record, and it’s the narrowest impeachment ever to go to the Senate, if they were to go on this record.” Video below: www.mrctv.org/videos/turl...impeachment-designed-fail “Did they prove something was contemptible or impeachable?” Turley said. “Contemptible is not synonymous with impeachable. The president does set policy. They have three conversations, two of them directly, one with Senator Johnson, one with Ambassador Sondland, where Trump denies a quid pro quo….so you have a conflicted record. And the question is, what do you need to remove a sitting president?” Whatever it is, it’s more than what Democrats have presented, Turley said. Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread
