Congressional inquistion

Editor,

Jonathan Turley at the relentless congressional inquisition said, “I am concerned about lowering impeachment standards to fit a paucity of evidence and abundance of anger.” Turley continued “This is not how you impeach an American president.” “I get it. You’re mad. The president’s mad. My Democratic friends are mad. My wife is mad. My kids are mad. Even my dog seems mad — and Luna is a golden doodle and they don’t get mad,” he continued. “If you impeach a president, if you make a high crime and misdemeanor out of going to the courts, it is an abuse of power. It’s your abuse of power. You’re doing exactly what you’re criticizing the president of doing,” he said. Turley’s reasoning is thoughtful especially the latter quote. Other legal “expert” testimonies tendered, like Stanford Law School professor Pamela Karlan, reek of wrath and irrationality that, in my view, excoriates a reasoned appraisal of this kangaroo court anarchy masquerading as impeachment.
