I think I understand Turley's motivation.

I've heard him speak before. He's basically a contrarian. His positions may hold some principle, but in large part, he's taking the opposite side just to do it. He's a more intelligent version of Alan Dershowitz.

Academia is full of such people.

1. That's it. You've reminded me where I saw this schtick before

11. No it isn't

2. Good point!!! n/t

[intrepidity]

3. I'm watching for this, because i understsnd and respect that

I'm still evaluating.

I wonder if he wants to be on Trump's good side for SC seat potential.

8. "I wonder if he wants to be on Trump's good side for SC seat potential."

Hadn't thought of that, but now that you mention it ...

4. Or, his good friend, Barr is

paying a whole lot of money to get this position stated.

5. The only thing positive about Turley is that he knew not to vote for Trump. Trump guiltyis clearly

guilty. The issue seems to be do you care more about Trump Republican Party or our Democracy. It sounds like Turley's biggest argument is the process is going too quickly not the evidence itself.

6. I had to mute him. Intellectual dishonesty makes my skin crawl.

[ChubbyStar]

7. He sounds like a 12 year old twerp who hasn't reached puberty

It is as if he is trying out for a Jr. High production of the Crucible.

9. I've been thinking about your post a lot. It struck me as right on the mark and...

... I was sure I'd responded. Apparently not.

But having seen on Rachel last night his performance as defense counsel for a corrupt judge in an impeachment, I think that he's actually playing the part of counsel for the defense rather than expert witness. You pay me and I'll devise the best argument possible for your defense. Don't tell me whether or not your guilty.

10. Do the witnesses receive renumeration for their testimony?

Don't expert witnesses get paid for appearing in court?
