IMPEACHMENT? THAT’S SO 2019. Jonathan Turley: Democratic impeachment case collapses under weight of time.

Securing an impeachment so fast does not earn you a historic prize. It simply earns you a historic failure.

Indeed, in the 1999 impeachment of President Clinton, Senate Democrats, including Minority Leader Charles Schumer, fought against any witnesses and sought a summary vote without a trial.
