Criminalizing The Questioning Of An Election Is A Dangerous Precedent To Set
George Washington University Law Prof. Jonathan Turley explained that criminalizing the questioning of our elections is not a legitimate reason to go to jail.
GALLAGHER: Let’s listen to Johnathan Turley together. I want to get your reaction to this since you’re parroting what the media keeps saying. “Oh, He was trying to find the votes here in Georgia. Listen to what Professor Turley said about that bogus, that shame of a criminal charge.
TURLEY: I think this is caramelizing the challenging of elections. Basically, you have a Democrat prosecutor saying how dare you challenge a democratic victory? Well, t’s been done before by Democrats. And the whole case is based on the theory that Donald Trump really didn’t mean it. Well even if that was true, the Democrats challenged Trump’s election on no grounds. Many of the past challenges were very, very thin. But in Donald Trump’s case, he insisted he does believe that Georgia could have been flipped with a recount. And the way she portrayed that phone call to Raffensperger, I think is really evidence of the bias and unfairness of aspects of this indictment. It makes perfect sense when you are challenging an election to say I only need around 11,000 votes. So, if you do a statewide review that’s not a lot in a state like Georgia. That’s not criminal. That’s making a case for a recount.
