EXCERPT:
TURLEY: "Yeah, everything about this case is, in my view, legally absurd. You know, this case is basically a state misdemeanor that had run out under statute of limitations. Bragg was forced, after he declined for a long time to bring this charge, to do so. His predecessor rejected it. So they took a dead misdemeanor and bootstrapped it into effectively trying a federal crime. But the federal crime here under election law was rejected under the Department of Justice. They did not feel that this should be charged. So you have this crazy case that’s going to go forward and it's going to turn on the testimony of people like Michael Cohen. And Michael Cohen just recently had a judge call him a serial perjurer, and he is going to appear as the center of this case."
