Mr. Turley allowed himself to be used like a Kleenex by the impeachment Republicans because back then, Turley thought being a Libertarian would get him a reputation of being 'unbiased.'
You see, I remember them quoting him, on the Senate floor, as justification for why the election of 1996 should be overturned. Read Rogan's speeches--they were based on Turley.
I remember him writing in the Wall Street Journal about how wrong it was for the federal grand jury to return a 'no bill' against President Clinton.
Mr. Turley despises the Clintons and by extension, anything to do with Hilary Clinton's State Department. That's why he sued over Libya, and that's why he's stamping his feet, now...
Some of us don't forget--you try to impeach a duly-elected Democratic president, and you are on my shit list, FOREVER.
As for critiquing Bush, come on--wasn't that shooting fish in a barrel?
