Chutzpah increases with the intensity of the longing for power. Case in point: Jerry Nadler, House Impeachment Manager. Yesterday, Nadler cherry-picked a couple of quips from Professor Jonathan Turley’s testimony before Schiif’s committee and other statements to justify his jihad. So out of context was Nadler’s claims that it borders on perjury if he was a witness on the stand.
First, let’s hear from Nadler. Yesterday, he said that Turley “agreed that the articles charged an offense that is impeachable.” Then he quoted Turley as saying “it is possible to establish a case for impeachment based on a noncriminal allegation of abuse of power.” The only problem is that Turley’s full testimony is a censure of the Democrats’ impeachment crusade. Nadler’s desperation to remove Trump from office causes him to mangle reason and fact.
Next, let’s hear from Turley himself in his testimony before Schiff’s committee. Listen for yourself below. According to Turley, the offenses are impeachable … if proven. The only problem is that there is a “paucity of evidence and abundance of anger”. He said, “This is one of the thinnest records on impeachment to go forward.” Once again, turning to the possibility of noncriminal impeachable offenses, Turley agrees to the possibility … but this ain’t it! That was the entire thrust of his testimony.
Does this sound like Turley is ready to write the Democrats’ impeachment brief?
As Lincoln once said, “God cannot be for and against the same thing at the same time.” And that also applies to you, Jerry Nadler, and to the record of Turley’s testimony.
Nadler is a charlatan.
