reminds me of the saying about porn: you know it when you see it.
Turley is wasting his breath, especially on the public.

I used to enjoy listening to him.
Be;ow: NPR interview from when Barr was getting confirmed as AG.
According to some other threads here in GD, he's said they've been friends for years.
https://www.npr.org/2019/01/16/685797604/barr-is-perfect-to-take-over-the-justice-department-turley-says
INSKEEP: Today witnesses offer their views on William Barr, including Jonathan Turley, law professor at George Washington University, who has represented William Barr. He's been a lawyer for the guy who is angling to be the nation's top lawyer.
Mr. Turley, welcome back to the program.
JONATHAN TURLEY: Thanks, Steve.
INSKEEP: Should William Barr be confirmed?
TURLEY: Absolutely. He's really the perfect person at this time to take over the Justice Department. This is a department that has taken a lot of hits under the waterline. This has been a very difficult two years. And to bring in someone like Barr will introduce not just a record of integrity but someone who could bring real stability to that department.

that obstructionism is also being misapplied in the impeachment case.
Ugh!
