Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-IL) attempted to smear expert witnesses, including legal scholar Jonathan Turley, to defend Joe Biden.
Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi attempted to smear expert witnesses, including legal scholar Jonathan Turley, in Thursday’s opening hearing of an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden.
Krishnamoorthi attacked Turley by claiming he had been “crusading for legal polygamy for years” and that he had defended a convicted pedophile., nearly 20 years ago, against prosecuting a criminal named Tom Green for the additional crime of polygamy. Turley wrote in 2004 that the defendant, Tom Green, “was properly prosecuted for a child sex crime,” and he added that “I personally detest polygamy.
Krishnamoorthi also attacked another Republican witness, former U.S. Assistant Attorney General Eileen O’Connor, by citing her political posts, which had nothing to do with her expertise on the enforcement of tax crimes. Here is how Krishnamoorthi attacked O’Connor, and how he characterized Turley’s past intellecutal arguments:I would like to respond to the attack … I’d like to explain what that attack dealt with — if nothing else, for members of the committee, then for my three children here, who may be a little surprised by what they just heard. As, they, I think, know, I’ve spent my life challenging what is called morals legislation.
