what happened to jonathan turley?

he used to be on olbermann's countdown show on msnbc
i liked him back then

but through the years he vanished from my sight

and i've seen a blurb from him a couple times within the past few years.

what the hell happened to him? he seems to have really turned into a douche. i just wikied him--says he is close friends with bill barr. maybe that's a clue

on the name of the RW (initially) and Trump now. Both have essentially left any honorable legal analysis/opinion by the wayside. Just talking heads for hire now.

He brought up Turley on his podcast on Monday. I don't remember exactly what he said, but it wasn't positive. He pretty much said that, looking back, he regrets having had Turley as a guest.

6. He was always a douche. Olbermann dropped Turley when he insulted Sotomayor's intelligence
