Legal Experts Split Down Party Lines on Case for Impeachment
(Worthy News) – On Wednesday, the House Judiciary Committee picked up the impeachment torch by holding its first public hearing. The committee heard from four constitutional law experts on what constitutes high crimes and misdemeanors. House Democrats called three witnesses, while Republicans had one.
The three witnesses called by Democrats testified to their belief President Trump committed an impeachable offense.
Jonathan Turley, a George Washington University law professor who was called by Republicans to testify, opened his remarks by making one thing clear.
“I believe this impeachment not only fails to satisfy the standard of past impeachments but would create a dangerous precedent for future impeachments,” Turley explained. “To impeach a president on this record would expose every future president to the same type of inchoate impeachment.” [ Source: CBN News (Read More…) ]
