Jonathan Turley tells Fox News the Trump indictment is extremely damning and a hit below the waterline | The Independent
The Special Counsel knew that there would be a lot of people who were going to allege that the Department of Justice was acting in a biased or politically motivated way. This is clearly an indictment that was drafted to answer those questions. It’s overwhelming in detail, he continued. The Trump team should not fool itself. These are hits below the waterline. These are witnesses who apparently testified under oath [and] gave statements to federal investigators, both of which can be criminally charged, if they’re false.
Those witnesses are directly quoting the president in encouraging others not to look for documents or allegedly to conceal them. It’s damaging, Mr Turley said.
This is not an indictment that you can dismiss. There are a lot of people who are testifying under oath, and they’re saying highly incriminating things, the attorney added.
O brother. I don’t see Trump putting up a great defense.
