Jonathan Turley: ‘Collusion Is Not a Crime’

‘You need to first of all define a crime’

RUSH EXCERPT:
TURLEY: “No, I think it’s reflecting the hyperventilation we have in Washington right now. This story broke and now there’s more undisclosed meetings. These were two world leaders at the G20 meeting. The fact that they had these types of meetings whether they were public or not is not surprising and not evidence of any crime. I think the problem is now people are looking through this glass darkly. Whenever they see any type of new meeting they see evidence of collusion or they see what they want to see. Prosecution’s require something more. You need to first of all define a crime. Collusion is not a crime under the code. When you talk about things like Donald Trump Jr., people are so eager to say, well now we have a crime here, that they fail to actually define it. People, I don’t think want to be in a world where a meeting like that could be treason. People have said this is prima facie evidence of treason. Would you want to be in a country that was broadly defined that way?"
