Jonathan Turley is in “utter disbelief" that the Trump "hush money" case is being presented in a courtroom. “What is clear is in this case, Trump is right. This is an embarrassment.”

TRANSCRIPT OF 40 second video clip~~~~~~~~~~

Jonathan Turley: ..is in this case, Trump is right. This is an embarrassment. I mean, the fact that we are actually talking about this case being presented in a New York courtroom leaves me in utter disbelief.

I mean, the arguments today did in fact capture all the problems here. You know, you had this misdemeanor under state law that had run out. This is going back to the, related to the 2016 election, and they zapped it back into life by alleging that there was a campaign finance violation under the federal laws that doesn't exist. The Department of Justice doesn't view it this way.

Unless they can show he paid from campaign funds, it’s not a case.

This whole thing is a travesty of justice.

I believe the FEC looked into this and decided it was a nothing. No law broken.

“I believe the FEC looked into this and decided it was a nothing. No law broken.”

It won’t be nothing when this sham trial convicts him gives him a sentence.

I heard a report on the radio about opening statements and that they took it to “2016 election fraud”, thinking the report was a gag.

Incredible. “Utter disbelief” is apropos.

It’s like living through the Soviet show trial era but now here in America.

Who cares if it’s a legit case. All you need is the right jury and locale.

Stating the obvious doesn’t make Turley any less an a-hole that’ll continue to vote Rat.

He’s nothing more than a non-influential Charlatan

Bragg is wasting the courts and Trump’s time. This is not a prosecution simply because Bragg FAILED TO STATE THE CHARGES HE IS CHARGING TRUMP WITH. Bragg is essentially in violation of State law.

Trump’s lawyers should move to dismiss.

Yes, but the judge and prosecutors all have law degrees from ABA law schools that teach them how to be sophists. Write enough BS, and no one cares about law. Law now is whatever the judge wants it to be.

The judge is determined to have Trump found guilty. He won’t accept any pleas from Trump’s lawyers.

Turley was a part of the 3 judge panel that heard Trumps Impeachment case. He supported Trumps in that trial.

This stupid trial is scheduled to take 6-8 weeks!

I served as a juror on a murder trial that lasted a week!

It's all about getting Trump off the campaign trail and perhaps convicted on some sham, made up "felony" so they can call him a convicted felon during the campaign.
