George Washington University Law Professor Jonathon Turley called the Manhattan District Attorney’s potential case against former President Donald Trump “legally pathetic” after the 45th president announced he expects to be arrested next week.

In a series of tweets, Turley said he is “highly critical of this case,” which he called potentially “flawed.”

…Bragg may be able to expect highly motivated judges and jurors in New York. However, the novelty and questions in this case would present difficult appellate issues for the prosecution.“This is a flawed case if it is based on a state charge effectively prosecuting the federal election violation,” wrote Turley. “That federal case was rejected by the Justice Department. There are also statute of limitation questions that could come into play.

“Bragg may be able to expect highly motivated judges and jurors in New York. However, the novelty and questions in this case would present difficult appellate issues for the prosecution,” he continued.Donald Trump is saying that he will be arrested on Tuesday and is calling for "protests" to "take our nation back."

I am highly critical of this case. However, given recent history, Trump needs to tap down any inflammatory rhetoric as we move forward…

I think that DA Bragg should and needs to be arrested. Endangerment to the public DERELICTION of basic duties. Failure to uphold the rule of law

Nice try.

Do it. Arresting Fed agents take Trump directly to Marine 1 & awaiting USN Sub. EBS followed by all evidence of Deep State guilt & corruption on 24/7 loop. Live broadcasts of Dems & RINOs Arrests w/ military tribunals. Pipe dream? 'We'll see.'

What isn't pathetic that is still in NYC?

He is right. It is pathetic.

I hope he's right. The thought that I might get in legal trouble the next time I give a six figure hush payment to the porn star I'm cheating on my wife with scares me.

Why does new York keep Braggs in office the guy should b fired. He's done nothing but screw law abiding citizens. Soros should b in jail for funding all these radical losers.

America doesn't become great again unless/until every Justice of the SCOTUS is a man like Jonathon Turley.

President Trump looks really worried about his pending indictment and arrest as he sits watching the Ncaa wrestling tournament in Tulsa. Oh, he didn't get booed either. 👍

babs4america What IF the DA does not indict Trump? What will Trump do or say? What will the Republicans say or do? What will the Democrats say and do? The Manhattan DA could throw a real monkey wrench into the whole thing. Sort of funny if that is what happens.

It will be great to see seditionist, traitor Trump in the slammer.

How come President Trump could be arrested for something so trivial and Joe and Hunter Biden walking free after selling our Nation? What is wrong with American Judicial system? POLITICAL AGENDA

Taliban means 'Students,' TAMU do you want to see if maybe tuition and private prisons are somehow corollary? Uvalde

The bar must be higher for charging someone in Trump's position. If Biden had any leadership instincts at all, he would just give a blanket pardon to Trump and say 'it's time to move on.' But, alas, Biden is a political hack only concerned with politics.

How damaged is this country where a criminal can't be indicted without fear of a bunch of illiterates threatening to kill people? Definitely will need extra security due to the immense partying there will be in the streets. Any indictment reveals who the real criminals are because ain’t nothing wrong when President Trump is President.
