House Judiciary Committee Report misquotes Trump again on Article II

Pedagogical Pedantry

Jerry Nadler has struck-out once again! He started off his impeachment inquiry hearings yesterday with testimony from three smug liberal law professors ... loudly sniping their hatred and condemnation of President Trump ... each vying for next year’s Profiles in Courage award. Yes, there was another liberal law professor, Jonathan Turley, who also testified softly and logically ... asking for due process and fairness ... but everything was done to ignore or deflate his sensible statements.

After listening to these three never-Trump professors pontificating in front of the House Judiciary Committee as to what was an impeachable offense ... quite strangely and uncharacteristically for legal scholars ... stating facts where there were no facts ... and mouthing the Red Queen’s “off with his head” ... I was struck by something strange. Assuming that their suppositions and presumptions were valid ... I became convinced that President Obama should have been impeached.

Afterward: We now know that Nadler fell asleep during his own hearing. I can understand ... except for Professor Turley’s testimony ... this rehearsed kangaroo court was a snoozer.
