"If the House proceeds solely on the Ukrainian allegations, this impeachment would stand out among modern impeachments as the shortest proceeding, with the thinnest evidentiary record, and the narrowest grounds ever used to impeach a president," Jonathan Turley, a professor of public interest law at George Washington University Law School, will say, according to his prepared testimony.

Turley is also an opinion contributor for The Hill.
