Turley is using weasel-y lawyer language so that Congressional reps will keep inviting him to defend their cause and so Fox News will keep paying him.
What Turley and every other person knows is that the standard for impeachment is based on activity while in office. Trump would argue that he can't even be impeached for election fraud. You turkeys are pretending like you have a legitimate case to convict Biden for activities you believe he undertook before he was elected president.
That would be like impeaching Trump for his decades of fraud, racist violation of equal housing laws, etc.
Further, you may recall a common GP defense of Trump in his first impeachment was that the voters had an opportunity to weigh in with the upcoming election. That's doubly true here. America elected Joe Biden in 2020 even though his son was a dirtbag and as far as I can tell, Trump weaponized his DOJ to investigate Hunter from the moment he took office and most of the basis for the sham impeachment was released before Trump's lopsided loss in 2020.
The GOP has an opportunity to defeat Biden next year, but it knows it can't because Trump is a disaster facing 91 felony indictments (among other legal problems) so it has weaponized the government to do his bidding. That's why the GOP is shutting down the federal government and why they've launched this obviously invalid impeachment sham.
If there are any conservative lawyers on BI who would like to make the claim that Biden should be impeached for criminal activity engaged in before he took office, let them speak now.
Otherwise, we can all acknowledge what a disaster this is for the GOP. They launched an "inquiry" into unimpeachable activity to placate diaper Don who was having another one of his temper tantrums. They should just give him a binky and go pass a budget so we can keep the economy functioning.
