Jonathan Turley lies on live television about Michigan votes.



Jonathan Turley falsely claims Dominion voting machines in Michigan switched "thousands" of Trump votes to Biden votes. Dominion machines were only used in one MI county that had problems, all of which were human error, and none of which affected results. https://nytimes.com/2020/11/11/technology/no-dominion-voting-machines-did-not-cause-widespread-voting-problems.html

That's where you can look for problems Mr. Turley.

Was it the Dominion machines or some other brand? I find it odd that Trump is not questioning the results in States that he won. I'm sure the States Biden won weren't only States using Dominion machines. Have we seen a list of all the States that used this brand?

I didn't follow his career closely, but I thought he used to have a decent reputation.

I used to hear his opinion pieces from time to time, perhaps on CBS news radio?

Disgraceful. He's another one of these once-respected people that wants to go out in flames.

Same thing that happened to a lot of Retrumplican politicians as well.

Putin invited the entire Retrumplican party and the NRA to party in Russia.

What happens in Moscow stays in Moscow...as long as you toe the party line

three times before I got it to confirm the Kerry vote (I think?).

We’re just now evening the score Turley. Your boss is a LOSER.

Whatever caused his dramatic pivot to Trump-tool apparently happened well before the impeachment, but, like many others, he abandoned any remaining shreds of intellectual cover in that emergency.

How about we either a). Do away with them completely and go to total mail in ballots or b). Do away with any machine that doesn't allow for a verification of voting on paper...I mean, welcome to the club bud. Deibold right a bell?? The hypocrisy of these GOP types is amazing.

I used to have a lot of respect for him.

But in addition to items like in the OP, he became the token opposing viewpoint during the impeachment hearings.

He went into full "look at me, look at me" mode.

A law professor expressing internet rumors as fact is highly unethical.

I don't know what the hell happened to him, when he testified at the impeachment hearings,
that was when he started going downhill. Turley is a lawyer, he's not a technician or a computer expert. WTF does he know? It's like asking Fauci to fill a cavity.
