After much discussion over bribery at Wednesday's House Judiciary Committee impeachment hearing, Michael Gerhardt of the University of North Carolina Law School testified that bribery is defined by Congress, not the courts. Congressman Cedric Richmond (D-LA) asked the witnesses to comment on testimony from another witness, Jonathan Turley, a CBS News legal analyst and George Washington University law professor, who asserted that using public office for personal gain is a "viable impeachable offense." After all three remaining witnesses affirmed Turley's statement, Gerhardt said, "Much talk has been made here about the term bribery ... It's your job, it's the House's job, to define bribery, not the courts. You follow your judgement on that."
Jonathan Turley, a CBS News legal analyst and George Washington University law professor, testified in front of the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday that he strongly disagrees with one of the articles of impeachment against President Richard Nixon and, in turn, disagrees with its use as a basis for the impeachment inquiry into President Trump. "Citations have been made to the third article of the Nixon impeachment. First of all, I want to confess, I've been a critic of the third article of the Nixon impeachment my whole life. My hair catches on fire every time someone mentions the third article," Turley said. "Why? Because you would be replicating one of the worst articles written on impeachment." Turley added that, in order to give the impeachment process legitimacy, Mr. Trump should be allowed to fight requests from Congress in the courts. "In Nixon, it did go to the courts, and Nixon lost. And that was the reason Nixon resigned," Turley said.
Jonathan Turley, a CBS News legal analyst and George Washington University law professor, diverged from his fellow witnesses when he testified in front of the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday. Turley, who was invited by Republican committee members, said that the Constitution does not allow a "boundless interpretation" of bribery and accused pro-impeachment lawmakers, including House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, of using a liberal definition of bribery that includes the exchange of meetings for political gain. Turley referenced the 1948 Supreme Court case McDonald v. United States in making his point. "You cannot take the bribery crime and use what they called a 'boundless interpretation,'" he said. "... You can't accuse a president of bribery and then ... say, 'Well, it's just impeachment. We really don't have to prove the elements.' … This isn't improvisational jazz. Close enough is not good enough."
Jonathan Turley, a CBS News legal analyst and the J.B. and Maurice C. Shapiro professor of public interest law at George Washington University Law School, said Wednesday, "We are living in the very period described by Alexander Hamilton, a period of agitated passions."
