"If the House proceeds solely on the Ukrainian allegations, this impeachment would stand out among modern impeachments as the shortest proceeding, with the thinnest evidentiary record, and the narrowest grounds ever used to impeach a president," Turley said.

Falsely claimed being 'skeptic' toward charging Trump before Ukraine allegations
"In his testimony before the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday, Harvard Law Professor Noah Feldman declared under oath that he was an "impeachment skeptic" until the July 25 call between President Trump and the Ukraine president at the center of the Democrats' impeachment inquiry.
'However, in a Vice magazine article in May 2017, noted Charlie Kirk in a tweet, Feldman said that Trump had committed impeachable acts.
"And the professor wrote a piece for Bloomberg in March 2017 in which he claimed Trump risked impeachment over tweets he posted accusing President Obama of tapping his phones.
"On Wednesday, Feldman confirmed to the Democrats' counsel, Norm Eisen, that he had been "somewhat of an impeachment skeptic" at the time of the release of the special counsel report by Robert Mueller in April.
""What's changed for you, sir?" the attorney asked.
"Feldman replied that it was the July 25 phone call in which Trump asked Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky to "look into" possible corruption in Hunter Biden's receipt of more than $3 million from a Ukrainian gas firm while his father spearheaded Ukraine policy.
"In a Q&A in the 2017 Vice article, Feldman was asked if the president committed a crime in his White House conversation with then-FBI Director Jim Comey.
" 'What the president did is an outrage. It's impeachable, and obstruction of justice in the sense of being a 'high crime and misdemeanor,'" he said.
"During the hearing Wednesday, Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., challenged Feldman's description of himself as an "impeachment skeptic" prior to the Ukraine phone call." . . .

Let that sink in: [Pamela] Karlan's hatred for the president is so deep-seated that she refused to even walk by a hotel that shares his name. . . . "Don't be fooled like many Democrats were; this "expert witness," along with the three others who joined her Wednesday in front of the House Judiciary Committee, didn't have a single firsthand fact about the investigation." . . .
