Fox News analyst Andrew Napolitano struck out at President Donald Trumps 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 its 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 didnt 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 its unfair if he doesnt take the opportunity to participate himself.
Napolitano again defended his belief that Trumps 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. Thats a crime in and of itself, just asking.
Fox has to realize when this mope is on, ratings plunge- and the percentage of return viewers is much less than those who bailed.
Shut up Nappy. No one cares what you think.
The ex judge is out of his league. His opinions have been consistently wrong. His mouth is brewing over with his hatred of Trump. When he comes on I turn to another channel.
He can withhold the money for any reason or no reason, period.
Oh BTW he DIDN’T withhold he money.
He should have though, the Biden stuff is dirty and the Poo-kraine isn’t entitled to one thin dime.
Stop and frisk Biden Jr., I bet he’s holding crack right now.
I’d sooner listen to Larry Tribe or some such open marxist than this lucking foser.
If Napolitano is mad that Trump isn’t helping his enemies stage their show trial, then the absence of Trump’s lawyers is absolutely the correct tactic. Why lend credence to a farce?

Can there be ANYTHING as bad on CNN or MSNBC?
Eddie Munster is wrong probably 60-80% of the time. Ergo, the default position is to discount whatever he says.
"I'm Right" - Joe diGenova responds to Shep Smith and Judge Napolitano's Criticism
Napolitano is a joke. Who even listens to the guy?
Wasn't he a township magistrate in North Jersey?
Nap was a NJ superior court judge.
Near as I can tell, Napolitano’s claim about being on the list is a lie.
His impeachment strategy is to have every one of us who ever showed up at one of his rallies turn up on the streets of D.C. and say “Oh, yeah? You and what army??”
it’s pretty much a foregone conclusion that one will always be substantially better off by simply doing the very opposite of what “judge” Nap recommends ...
“With Shep gone, I guess someone has to fill the void.”
yeah, and Juan Williams isn’t smart enough or articulate enough to lie convincingly enough to fill said void ...
Napolitano served as a New Jersey Superior Court judge from 1987 to 1995 ... hard to believe, but true ...
Thanks fieldmarshaldj.
Nap is a mentally ill homosexual. He will denounce his own mother to get at Trump.
