[rad-green] Written impeachment testimony of Jonathan Turley, Professor of Public Interest Law, George Washington University

*Written Statement*

*Jonathan Turley,*
*Shapiro Professor of Public Interest Law*
*The George Washington University Law School*

*“The Impeachment Inquiry Into President Donald J. Trump: *
*The Constitutional Basis For Presidential Impeachment”*
*1100 House Office Building*
*United States House of Representatives*
*Committee on the Judiciary*

*December 4, 2019*

*I would like to start, perhaps incongruously, with a statement of three
irrelevant facts. First, I am not a supporter of President Trump. I voted
against him in 2016 and I **have previously voted for Presidents Clinton
and Obama. Second, I have been highly **critical of President Trump, his
policies, and his rhetoric, in dozens of columns. Third, I **have
repeatedly criticized his raising of the investigation of the Hunter Biden
matter with **the Ukrainian president. These points are not meant to curry
favor or approval. Rather **they are meant to drive home a simple point:
one can oppose President Trump’s policies **or actions but still conclude
that the current legal case for impeachment is not just **woefully
inadequate, but in some respects, dangerous, as the basis for the
impeachment **of an American president. [Emphasis added.]*
