For the coup plotters and traitors against the President

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.
Generally, some impeached and removed cannot ever hold federal office, unless the removal includes an exception.
OK, but you must be on the wrong thread, because the whole thing is about Turley.
Turley is the only one who has a brain.....all the others are DemoRats and hate Trump.....Turley is not a Trump fan but does have some sense of honor and pride in the actual Law.
Wasn’t there a Judge Hastings that was impeached and ran and won a Congressional seat afterwards?
Of course, because—DOESN’T HE KNOW!—Trump tried to intimidate witnesses. How could he not condemn that.
Turley then backed that up with this exactly 3 weeks ago:
"If they want to move forward primarily or exclusively with the Ukraine controversy, it would be the narrowest impeachment in history. Such a slender foundation is a red flag for architects who operate on the accepted 1:10 ratio between the width and height of a structure.The physics is simple. The higher the building, the wider the foundation. There is no higher constitutional structure than the impeachment of a sitting president and, for that reason, an impeachment must have a wide foundation in order to be successful. The Ukraine controversy is not such a foundation, and Democrats continue to build a structurally unsound case that will be lucky to make it to the Senate before collapsing."
Dude, Turley is the nut flush. He is the kind of guy you ignore his Cankles vote because he lives the Constitution. I think he is a purer Constitutional scholar than Dershowitz, who is a genius -- and that's a different vibe.
And another thing -- Turley holds the Shapiro Chair for Public Interest Law at GWU Law, whereas Chuck Todd couldn't even graduate from GWU.
Women accusing Turley of sexual assault appearing in five...four....three...two...
They have revealed before history and all the world exactly what they are, and it’s ugly.
Bookmarked!
What I saw yesterday at the Judiciary Hearing:
THREE OUT OF FOUR DEMOCRATS ARE MEAN, NASTY, VINDICTIVE HUMAN BEINGS.
Yes. Judge Hastings impeachment removal had a specific exception to the ban on holding public office.
see Article 1, section 3, clause 7
The Democrat Senate invoked black privilege and did not make him ineligible.
Actually, I’m amazed he’s allowed near a camera. Maybe that will change.
