JONATHAN TURLEY: Impeachment obsession returns as Democrats recycle lawfare to fire up their base
Fox News
Democrat Rep. Dan Goldman threatens to impeach Trump over Venezuela operation that courts previously ruled lawful. Democrats are again promising voters equivalent of the Roman Games.
Jonathan Turley is a Fox News Media contributor and the Shapiro Professor of Public Interest Law at George Washington University.
Facing a challenger on the left in New York, Rep. Dan Goldman, D-N.Y., was the latest to dangle impeachment before his constituents. He insisted that Trump can be removed for the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife. He is the author of the forthcoming "Rage and the Republic: The Unfinished Story of the American Revolution" on the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution.
The same people who introduced what I called an abusive "snap impeachment" against Trump are now suggesting that he can be impeached for an act that was previously upheld as lawful in the courts. He is a nationally recognized legal scholar who has written extensively in areas ranging from constitutional law to legal history to the Supreme Court. He has written over three dozen academic articles that have appeared in a variety of leading law journals.
