At last, an intellectually honest man.
This is like going to a Mafia retreat and explaining that the Mafia really should consider honesty and obeying the law.
Yes, he is killing it.
My only quibble in what he said was that the Nixon impeachment was the gold standard, because the public was given the chance to “catch up”.
Nixon may well have weathered his impeachment storm, had he not been on the wrong side of a hyper-partisan media monopoly, capable of cramming a one-sided narrative down the throats of the public.
By contrast, Clinton had the benefit of being on the right side of that same hyper-partisan media, which was eventually able to drum into the public the message that whatever we may think of his character, it is just laughable to remove remove a President “over a blow job”.
Where was that same sense of humor in the Nixon case? Why couldn’t the public “laugh it off” when they learned that Nixon had found out about some low level campaign operatives trying to steal DNC campaign secrets, and tried to hush it up? Didn’t Obama try to hush up the Bengazi scandal leading up to the 2012 elections? Where was the media outrage? There are countless examples of potential Democrat scandals going nowhere while Republicans are hounded over nothing.
The hyper-partisan media monopoly gets to decide what is an earth-shattering scandal, and what is a joke.
The ONLY thing that will save President Trump from Nixon’s fate is his uncanny ability to fight back against a hostile media, and his unwillingness to succumb to their smears.
Much as I appreciate Turley’s eloquent legal defense, the outcomes of these cases have very little to do with legal merits and precedents, and everything to do with media misinformation and propaganda.
Thank God for President Trump’s fearless and clever tweeting - he knows how to gets his side of the story told: he tweets or says something he knows the Left will consider outrageous. They think it will hurt him so they can’t resist covering it. But what they think are unscripted “blurtings” are really well thought out messages, which contain little time bombs designed to discredit the fake news.
