Turley dismantles Debbie Ramenhair-Shultz attack on his credibility to testify on govt. censorship

BPR: George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley testified Thursday before the House Judiciary subcommittee on the alleged “weaponization” of the federal government, offering his expert legal analysis on Twitter working with federal agencies to censor Americans.

“The Twitter Files raise serious questions of whether the United States government is now a partner in what may be the largest censorship system in our history,” Turley would testify. “The involvement cuts across the Executive Branch, with confirmed coordination with agencies ranging from the CDC to the CIA. Even based on our limited knowledge, the size of this censorship system is breathtaking, and we only know of a fraction of its operations through the Twitter Files.”

In an attempt to discredit Turley, U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., the woman who lead the DNC when it rigged the Democratic primary in favor of Hillary Clinton, attacked the law professor’s credentials by asking  him if he had ever worked at Twitter or had “any specific or special or unique knowledge about the inner workings of Twitter?” She would go on to claim that he was only offering “opinion and conjecture” on Twitter colluding with the federal government and had no “specific or unique knowledge” to qualify him to speak on the issue.

Appearing Friday morning on “Fox & Friends,” Turley pushed back at the attack, calling Wasserman Schultz’s efforts “completely absurd.”

“The congresswoman was asking if I’ve ever worked at Twitter as a condition for my talking about what the Twitter files,” he said. “It’s like saying you have to work at the Pentagon if you want to testify about the implications of the Pentagon Papers.”

“The point of witnesses before committees is often to give legal analysis based on what is known and what could be found in this investigation,” Turley explained. “The exchange she was referring to was a member who expressly asked me about the Twitter files and what this suggests about what I’ve called censorship by surrogate”. more

  1. I remember when a magazine spent what had to be a fortune on stylists and make up artists trying to make her look good proving that putting lipstick on a pig gives you nothing more than a pig wearing lipstick.

  2. DWS has no law degree nor ever worked in a law office. She is not a professor, much less a law professor. She has “no specific or unique knowledge about the inner workings of” a law office. She can only offer “opinion and conjecture on” Turley’s legal opinion and its validity. Thus, by her own criteria she is unqualified to speak on the issue.

    Debbie, you’re a shtunk, and a shtik drek.
