Turley: What Trump Did Isn’t Even Close to Impeachment But It Is ‘Dumb’

‘There’s been a great deal of hyperventilation over the claim that this is obstruction of justice plain and simple’

EXCERPT:

TURLEY: "Obstruction of justice is a crime, and crimes have elements, and there are missing elements here. It doesn't mean this couldn't be evidence of obstruction, but it’s nowhere near where it would have to be to establish a crime. Impeachment doesn’t necessarily need a prosecutable crime, but it falls well short of the article to standard. I testified during the Clinton impeachment, and I was the last person to be lead counsel on impeachment in the Senate for Judge Porteous. I can tell you, this is a long road of impeachment. I really suggest people be a little more cautious in what they are saying about impeachment. This isn’t even close to that, of a high crime and misdemeanor. What the President did, frankly, if he did it, was wildly inappropriate. If he said that to the director of the FBI, it was breathtakingly dumb. He says he didn't do that."
