Fox News analyst Andrew Napolitano struck out at President Donald Trump’s decision to not send lawyers to an upcoming impeachment hearing, calling the move “very unwise.”
“I am curious what you make of the fact that the president might want to skip out on this Judiciary Committee opening hearing and maybe others to follow, because it is essentially a Kangaroo court or it’s not fair,” Neil Cavuto said on Your World Monday.
“The rules about which the president are complaining were written by a Republican House of Representatives in 2015. The president would be very unwise not to send lawyers there,” Napolitano responded.
“The Democrats are not doing anything that the Democrats did not do to Nixon or the Republicans didn’t do the Bill Clinton. But I think he makes a mistake when he refuses to participate. It is a valid vote by the House of Representatives that authorized this,” he continued. “He also loses the argument that it’s unfair if he doesn’t take the opportunity to participate himself.”
Napolitano again defended his belief that Trump’s actions have merited impeachment.
“In my view, it is clearly impeachable because it involves two potential crimes,” Napolitano said. “The crime of bribery … which is defined as the failure to do an official act, release the $391 million, until a favor comes your way: not conduct an investigation, announce the existence of an investigation of Joe Biden. The other crime is asking for campaign aide from a foreign national. That’s a crime in and of itself, just asking.”
Isn’t that a bit suspect?
Nappy seems certain that Donald Trump committed impeachable offenses, but that certainty won’t be reflected in the final outcome of this “impeachment” process.
Who cares what Eddie Munsters legal opinion is?
Who cares
Fox needs to clean house of these embarrassing folks like Napolitano and Williams, etc.
Nadler’s invitation to his star chamber rightly rejected https://t.co/ljtJb0BEso— Mark R. Levin (@marklevinshow) December 3, 2019
What a tool! He knows he is wrong, yet he doubles down!
I remember hearing Napolitano say The Wall is UNCONSTITUTIONAL! That soured me on Napolitano right away!
Napolitano would be our next Kennedy or even worst Souter!!!
Napolitano will never forgive Trump for not considering him for SCOTUS.
What makes him think Trump would even consider him for SCOTUS? His brief career as a judge ended 25 years ago.
“Fox needs to clean house of these embarrassing folks like Napolitano and Williams, etc.”
Same with Steve Hilton (The New Revolution). On his Sunday night show he as dumping all over Giuliani. I won’t be watching him any time soon.
Put yer butt plug back in and shut up.
If FNC/FBN has any smarts whatsoever, they will fire Judge Napolitano...like 1,2,3, today!!! Case closed!!!
Is Nappy the best the legal system has to offer?????
Joe Biden is not above the law.
Until Nap asked The Donald to be nominated for a supreme court position and The Donald laughed and said, NO.
Nap was a Trump supporter.
Sour grapes is not a very good look there Nap’s.
If Nappy the Fag thinks it’s wrong, you know it’s right (and vice-versa).
If anyone had any doubts whatsoever on this subject of whether Trump should participate, Napolitano just removed them all. Napolitano hates Trump with full TDS intensity. Any advice he offers to Trump is anti-advice.
