THE PROFESSOR SPEAKS – AT 9:49 A.M. ET:   Jonathan Turley, of the George Washington University Law School, has emerged as a major legal commentator, with needles and fairness for all.  Now he speaks some truths about the Clinton administration and its effect on current politics.  From Fox: 

George Washington University Law Professor Jonathan Turley said that Congress is now answering for putting its ethics "on layaway" during the Clinton presidency.

"Many in Washington put their ethics on layaway during the Clinton presidency. That bill is finally due," he said.

Turley said Washington's single "great specialty" is "managing scandal."

"They're world experts at it. You know there's something wrong when so many politicians in Washington are standing on principle," he said of the aftermath of several sexual misconduct allegations against legislators and candidates.

He said the members' indignation is "not very convincing," adding that President Trump's reaction to Judge Roy Moore (R-Ala.) was "devoid of any moral foundation."

"He gives a total denial," Trump said on Tuesday afternoon. "I do have to say 40 years is a long time. He's run eight races and this has never come up."

Turley said the numerous allegations against Moore are "compelling" and "credible." He noted that although Moore denies the allegations, but so does Bill Clinton when it comes to his own accusations of sexual misconduct. 

"That's not the standard. The standard for adults is to look at the allegations and decide if they're credible."

COMMENT:  Well said.  But the hypocrisy and phoniness of both Washington and Hollywood are on display now, simultaneously.  Oh, add broadcast journalism to the list.  The smallness oozes.  The double and triple standards are evident.

Charlie Rose's female co-hosts are now telling us he doesn't get a pass.  Where have they been all these years?
