Turley: "Democrats Continue to Struggle to Find a Crime to Fit the Offense"...But They HAVE Shown That Trump Lost It

Turley seems right on target IMO: the hearings have provided us with additional evidence that Trump lost it after the election, siding with the lawyers (e.g. Giuliani) on "team crazy" rather than those (e.g. Barr) on "team sane." On that we should all be able to agree. But--and here I'm out of my depth--Turley makes a plausible prima facie case that the Dems have not shown that Trump committed any crime. But when you have no expertise in a subject like law, you have to hear other opinions, especially opposing ones, in order to make anything like a decent guess. 
   It's tough--given the unhinging of the left--not to make every question comparative. But this one shouldn't be. Though I've wavered on this question, Trump categorically ruled himself out of consideration in '24. Period. The comparative question can't be put off forever, though, and there's the rub: the Dems have, long ago, categorically ruled themselves out, too. And not just one or two of them--but, as things stand now, the whole party. There is simply no possibility of supporting them unless/until they return to some approximation of sanity. Like Barr, I can't imagine not supporting the Republican candidate for President in '24. Or, rather, I can't imagine supporting the Dem. And therefore etc. I don't think Trump will be the candidate. But if he is, that doesn't mean I'll support the Dem. Rather, it means we'll face an electoral Kobayashi Maru. It's an extreme understatement to say that I hope that does not happen.
