Consensus of legal experts and Constitutional lawyers.
Alan Dershowitz and Jonathan Turley.
Laura Ingraham, who clerked for U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.
Kenneth Starr and Robert Ray, who both in turn oversaw the Whitewater special investigation.
Jenna Ellis, constitutional lawyer who was giving opinion about Trump impeachment for the last year, and now works for the Trump campaign.
Former U.S. attorney Joe DiGenova and Victoria Toensing, who also have been widely interviewed for 2 years and now represent the president.
Mark Levin, who was the Justice Department chief of staff during the Reagan years.
Sydney Powell, who also worked on the Whitewater investigation, worked on many cases handled and maliciously prosecuted by Mueller, Comey, Fitzgerald and others in Comey's FBI, worked on the Arthur Andersen and Enron cases, whose case on appeal reversed FBI convictions in those cases in a 9-0 decision by the U.S. Supreme Court for its injustice, and is currently working to similarly reverse the conviction of Michael Flynn.

Plus other high profile lawyers, former FBI directors and assistant directors, and U.S. attorneys, whose names escape me now. But highly accomplished lawyers and law enforcement people who are certainly in a position to give a highly informed opinion on the subject.
