RUSH EXCERPT:

CARLSON: "Jonathan Turley is a cool head, not a right winger, been around a long time. I wanted you to come on to assess, coolly, logically, the legal exposure, potentially from this story."
TURLEY: "There’s considerable it exposure. The interesting thing about the original Russian collusion argument is that including with Russians is not a crime. There is no such crime. There’s conspiracy, but the question is conspiracy to do what? I’ve been saying this and many people have been saying this the case is getting weaker by the day. There’s not much evidence to suggest an actual crime. Compared to this there is a basis for a criminal charge if these allegations are proven. Now you have the Uranium One deal, which is a pay-for-play allegation."
CARLSON: "Right."
TURLEY: "That’s a serious crime."
CARLSON: "The Clintons could very well show there was no relationship between the half million dollars that went to Bill Clinton and what the State Department did. But that is a classic criminal allegation, if it were to be proven. With regard to the Fusion GPS and the dossier, there are issues there, particularly if people lied to investigators, either Congress until that or federal. That’s the type of crime that gets charged in DC."
TURLEY: "I think what you’re referring to is what happened last month before the Senate committee investigating this, John Podesta the former chairman of Hillary’s campaign and because man Schultz were asked directly, did you pay for this? Did monies from your cover wind up at Fusion GPS and both of them said no."
