Law prof Jonathan Turley predicts Dems’ impeachment ‘will go down as one of the greatest historic blunders’
January 24, 2020 | Frieda Powers

Constitutional law expert Jonathan Turley delivered a stinging assessment of the Democrats’ rushed impeachment process against President Donald Trump.

The George Washington University Law School professor blasted Democrats during an appearance on CBS News for their second article of impeachment charging Trump with obstruction of Congress.

“This is one where the House is completely unmoored by history and by the law,” Turley said.

“I think that this will go down as one of the greatest historic blunders of a House of Congress,” he added.

Though a liberal Democrat himself, Turley was appointed by Republicans as their witness in the House Judiciary Committee’s impeachment hearing in December. He had argued then that the legal case Democrats were presenting against Trump was “not just woefully inadequate, but in some respects, dangerous, as the basis for the impeachment of an American president.”

“I am concerned about lowering impeachment standards to fit a paucity of evidence and an abundance of anger,” he said then. “If the House proceeds solely on the Ukrainian allegations, this impeachment would stand out among modern impeachments as the shortest proceeding, with the thinnest evidentiary record, and the narrowest grounds ever used to impeach a president.”

Sounds like an honorable man.  Not many Democrats left like him.
