Highly respected liberal law professor and constitutional scholar Jonathan Turley at George Washington University, seemingly one of the few intellectually honest liberals left in America — someone who objectively has criticized both Democrats and Republicans when he thought they were out of bounds — was asked to respond to the stunning charges from President Trump on Saturday that Obama illegally wiretapped Trump Tower during the presidential campaign against Democrat Hillary Clinton and that he was considering legal action.

After CNN anchor Fredricka Whitfield and her guests sounded like Obama’s legal defense team all Saturday morning, Professor Turley provided an alternative to CNN’s shameful coverage of the accusation and its ramifications, characterizing the alleged spying by Obama as “disturbing” and that everyone in should have be interested in having the scandal investigate.

I should clarify something ... and I apologize if you haven't been working with complete information as we've been trading these messages.

I do not believe that Sessions has a conflict of interest just because he was nominated by Trump. In this particular case, I believe Sessions has a conflict of interest because the investigation is going to involve potentially illegal surveillance by the Obama administration -- and Sessions himself may have had his phone or e-mail communications intercepted.

I believe Sessions may have a conflict of interest because he may be a VICTIM and a potential WITNESS in the case, not because Trump happened to nominate him.

In other words, the actual reason for Sessions' recusal may not be what everyone assumes it is.
