Legal scholar Jonathan Turley just completely destroyed the entire Democrat narrative of trying to cover-up Biden’s blatant bribery schemes.
For the past year, the left has been trying to claim that Joe Biden himself needed to recieve direct payments in order for it to be considered bribery in order to try and suggest that the impeachment case against the President has no merit.
However, Turley just blew that notion out of the water…
During the hearing, he explained that there is no standard in law that suggests the president would have had to receive a bribe directly to be found guilty of illegal behavior.
“There’s been repeated statements that you need to show that President Biden accepted direct money in order for this to constitute a benefit even under criminal cases, the deal with bribery, extortion, the Hobbs Act,” said Turley while he testified in front of the House Oversight Committee.
“The courts actually have rejected that and said that money going to family members is, in fact, a benefit.
“Obviously, the strongest case is if you have a direct payment, but this idea that you can have millions going to a politician’s family and that’s not a benefit, I think is pretty fallacious,” the legal scholar said.
