“When is the price too high to bag Dr. Donald Trump?” Turley said.
“This indictment is a really sad moment for me,” said George Washington University Law Professor Jonathan, speaking with host Sean Hannity on Fox.
Turley warns that Special Counsel Jack Smith’s indictment “basically just accuses him of disinformation. This is a disinformation indictment” and charges “many” things that are protected by the First Amendment.
“This is a free speech-killing indictment. There’s no way around it. I write a great deal in academia in the free-speech area, and I saw a more chilling filing by the Department of Justice. The question that people have to ask themselves is, when is the price too high?

“And I have to tell you, this indictment is a really sad moment for me.

Turley made note of the Supreme Court case of a politician’s Stolen Valor. The Court said it was a 1st Amendment right.
“Smith is just not only going to have to just bulldoze through the First Amendment, he’s going to have to bulldoze through a line of cases by the Supreme Court…”
They then discussed Biden’s corruption.
