Turley has been around forever..I used to remember seeing him on the cable shows as a law expert...NW JD and was the youngest professor to hold a chair at GW. Jonathan Turley - WikipediaWhat what? Legal scholar?
Come on.
If he's a legal scholar then I'm the Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court.

I assumed so but if it relates to this MSNBC issue remember that:
1) We first heard itt that the reporter was an employee of MSNBC.
2) We then learned that his employment status is not clear, at all.
3) We then learned that there are statements that he is a free lance journalist who does some reporting for NBC.
4) We then learned that he claimed he had been ordered by someone at either MSNBC or NBC to follow the jurors.
5) We then learned that both networks say they are looking into it and will cooperate with any investigation.
Seems like it was wrong for some in the right wing media to gleefully, but incorrectly, report that the reporter was from MSNBC. But that's about all we know for sure right now. It will be investigated.
So I don't think I'm an idiot for making these rather important distinctions, though I know it at least temporarily robs the Fox echo chamber and the other media hating folks here of a talking point and that maybe its not simply as clear cut as first reported.
If that had been a real insurrection with angry people that were armed, they could have wiped out half of Congress that day. It was a setup. Most of those people just wanted to be heard and outside of a handful of people they weren’t violent.

Aw c'mon man... AOC was several buildings away cowering under a desk and caught PTSD. I am sure it was traumatizing.You’re right about that. If it were an actual insurrection as the media claims and was preplanned, they would’ve been armed.
That’s not what happened. Was it a riot? Sure. Was it an attempt to overthrow our government as suggested? No
It’s odd you only apply this absurd logic of “who would go there anyway” to one side. The people there rioting, well clearly that’s fine. But the kid? He’s the real problem here.
But once again, the issue wasn’t him trying to enforce the law.
The only people who we know for a fact were behaving as actual vigilantes are the people he shot.
All I've really seen is that a dude who was in one of these uber-patriot groups and was also an FBI informant was there. Haven't seen anything about actual agents ginning up the crowd.
I'm not applying anything to one side. The conversation is about Kyle, you chose to single out my comment and now want to redirect.
Hell I'm not saying he didn't defend himself but to pretend that moment happened in a vacuum where he wasn't AT A RIOT WITH A LOADED AR15 is ridiculous.
