Impeachment witness list loaded with Trump critics

House Democrats announced a list of four constitutional law experts who will testify at a Dec. 4 public impeachment hearing, and the panel will include pundits who have criticized the Trump administration and defended the impeachment proceedings. It also includes a witness who has criticized the impeachment investigation.

The Democrats have summoned Noah Feldman, a Harvard Law School professor, to testify in Wednesday’s hearing on the constitutional grounds for impeaching the president. Feldman was among the first people to suggest Trump was trying to bribe Ukrainian government officials into investigating his political rival, former Vice President Joe Biden. Democrats have adopted the term, which Feldman in September said constitutes an impeachable offense.

"What makes Trump’s alleged conduct so terrible is not that he froze aid to Ukraine for a policy purpose. What makes Trump’s alleged conduct outrageous is the appearance that he was doing it for his own personal benefit," Feldman wrote for Bloomberg Opinion.

I noticed Jonathon Turley's on the list.  He's against this impeachment, last I saw.

That is disappointing.   I hope the rats are taking this seriously.

On Monday, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.) announced four legal scholars who will be called as witnesses during his committee's impeachment inquiry. Three of the scholars were chosen by Democrats, one by Republicans.

One of the legal scholars chosen by Democrats is Harvard Law School professor Noah Feldman. As Breitbart notes, Feldman "was taken in by the 'Russia collusion' conspiracy theory, claiming in September 2017 that 'more and more evidence of collusion between Donald Trump’s presidential campaign and Russia has come to light,'" ... .

... Feldman has been foaming at the mouth over impeachment for virtually the entirety of Trump's presidency. ... Feldman actually believed that Trump should be impeached over the following tweet:

How low has President Obama gone to tapp my phones during the very sacred election process. This is Nixon/Watergate. Bad (or sick) guy!

And I haven't even gotten to the fact that what Trump said was true. Wiretapping occurred and was the result of a FISA warrant based on a bogus dossier paid for by the Clinton campaign. ...
