EXCERPT:
TURLEY: “You know, as you know, I’ve said all along that I actually don’t view some of these various crimes we’re talking about as very -- as -- as compelling. I think that the most likely area for a criminal charge if it comes will remain false statements and omissions from federal reports, I’ve said that all along. That’s what people tend to get nailed on. But we have this sort of media Rorschach test where everyone looks at -- at these inkblots and says I see a crime. And that could be a dangerous thing when you’re talking about changing or -- or expanding the criminal code. People are saying, you know, this could be treason, which is facially absurd.”
