House Judiciary announces impeachment witnesses
By Cristina Marcos - 12/02/19 04:48 PM EST

The House Judiciary Committee on Monday unveiled a witness panel of four constitutional scholars for its first impeachment hearing this week.

Titled "The Impeachment Inquiry into President Donald J. Trump: Constitutional Grounds for Presidential Impeachment," Wednesday's hearing will feature testimony from four law professors: Noah Feldman, a professor at Harvard Law School and director of the Julis-Rabinowitz Program on Jewish and Israeli Law; Pamela Karlan, a professor of public interest law at Stanford Law School; Michael Gerhardt, a professor at the University of North Carolina School of Law; and Jonathan Turley, a professor of public interest law at George Washington University Law School.
 
Turley is also an opinion contributor for The Hill.

The Rats are calling Turley?  Why?  He's stated consistently this is not impeachable.

Instead, the constitutional scholars are expected to offer legal analysis.

By analysis they mean presumption. Their opinion. aka waste time until the upcoming holiday break.
