An expert legal witness plans to testify Wednesday that the current legal case for impeaching President Trump is “woefully inadequate” and “dangerous,” as the House Judiciary Committee holds its first impeachment inquiry hearing.
According to an opening statement obtained by Fox News, Jonathan Turley, a law professor at George Washington University Law School, is prepared to tell lawmakers that, while he is not a "supporter" of the president, he is concerned about the “integrity” of the impeachment process based on the case being built against Trump.
“One can oppose President Trump’s policies or actions but still conclude that the current legal case for impeachment is not just woefully inadequate, but in some respects, dangerous, as the basis for the impeachment of an American president,” Turley wrote in his opening statement.

At last, an intellectually honest man.
“One can oppose President Trump’s policies or actions but still........be a doosh.
Will the Lefties be storming this man’s house, harassing his family and attempting to ruin his career and reputation?
One Pro-Trump professor to testify and three anti-Trumpers.
Yeah, that’s fair.
WTF? George Washington University Law School is as over the edge deep state as you can get, one arc minute to the right of Georgetown University Law School. A reasoned argument based upon facts and law from a law professor? Can’t he lose tenure for this? This is worse than a trip to pedo island.
Uh oh.
Now Adam Schiff will need to illegally attain Johnathon Turley’s phone records, too.
Listening to this schmuck Karlan preach to me on why she wants to take away my vote from 2016. I can’t stomach these people. Ugly on the outside and ugly on the inside.
“One Pro-Trump professor to testify and three anti-Trumpers.”
Here’s my speculation on the purpose of the scholars testifying. I might be wrong.
They, or most of them, will say the investigation was valuable in showing that Trump is a scumbag, but there just isn’t the solid evidence to support a Senate trial.
Therefore, Democrats, it is fine for you to end the impeachment proceedings now with a with the knowledge that you have performed a valuable service to the country.
The Inquisition, the Inquisition!

...
He’s giving his fellow Trump hating Democrats a way out.
"Impeachment" is a hit-job.
It's the latest attempt by unscrupulous politicians to nullify the 2016 Presidential Election, i.e. to steal the votes of the Americans who elected Donald Trump to the Presidency.
Everybody knows that.
If it’s dangerous then that means the Dems are what they accuse the President of being.
From an earlier Fox News Story:
In the same pillared room that hosted last month's House Intelligence Committee hearings, lawmakers will hear from Stanford law professor Pamela Karlan, Harvard law professor and Bloomberg columnist Noah Feldman, University of North Carolina law professor Michael Gerhardt, and George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley.All are Democrat witnesses except for Turley -- a point that did not escape the notice of the president Tuesday evening.
"They get three constitutional lawyers ... and we get one," Trump said during a bilateral meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in London. "That's not sounding too good, and that's the way it is. We don't get a lawyer, we don't get any witnesses -- we want Biden, we want the son Hunter, where's Hunter? We want Schiff. We want to interview these people. Well, they said no. We can't do it."

Best exit for the Dems would be to say that they were just doing their due diligence on the legality of the impeachment inquiries. Let the lawyers tell them it is based on meritless claims.
That will end the inquiry and it satisfies everyone And if the radical left cannot accept it, boo freaking hoo.
The Dems ARE the radical Left, they will not do anything smart, they are going down this road like a runaway locomotive about ready to crash.
I just watched Turley’s opening statement. He concluded with a line from one of my favorite movies, “A Man For All Seasons,” as said by the British actor Paul Scofield in the role of Sir Thomas More (Scofield won the Best Actor Award for his performance). Very powerful.
I have followed Turley for years and he is no douche. He is left of center but is an honest principled man.
He knows Constitutional law as well as anyone in this country and he calls em as he sees em.
Both him and Dershowitz are libs but they are class acts when it comes to their candor on this sham of an impeachment.
Easily the most impressive democrat of our time... Turley stands with the Constitution... not with us - not with them... Yes, a good man.
