Judge Napolitano's Descent into Foolishness
American Thinker ^ | 09/27/2019 | Daniel John Sobieski

Posted on 09/28/2019 6:33:41 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

Consistent with Fox News Channel's continued listing to port, which I wrote about in my July 31, 2019 American Thinker article "Fox Veers Left," Fox News legal analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano, once a staunch defender of objective truth, has provoked a firestorm with his agreement with Democratic clown car passenger Rep.  Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) that President Trump committed a crime in his July 25 phone conversation with Ukraine president Volodymyr Zelensky.  As Fox News reported:

Judge Andrew Napolitano told Fox News host Shepard Smith on Tuesday that the president effectively confessed to a crime when he admitted he asked Ukraine to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter.

Napolitano, a Fox News senior judicial analyst, had framed President Trump's earlier statement as an admission that he tried to "solicit aid for his campaign from a foreign government."

"So that to which the president has admitted is in and of itself a crime," Smith followed. Napolitano responded, "yes," and claimed it was the same crime former Special Counsel Robert Mueller investigated as part of the long-running Russia investigation.

Napolitano's comments constituted as much of a parody of the truth as the fable spun by House Intelligence Committee chairman Schiff's recent interrogation of acting director of National Intelligence Joseph Maguire over the transcript of the call, which suggests nothing of the sort.  Zelensky himself said he was not "pushed" by Trump into investigating the corruption of the Bidens.  So there was no quid pro quo, no bribe of a foreign leader to interfere in the 2020 election as reported by a "whistleblower" who was not a member of the Intelligence Community and had no firsthand knowledge of the call.  What was Napolitano talking about?

Judge Nap disappeared right after this and returned as a new man a few weeks later.

Indeed he did. One would like to know the details, because whatever was said by whom, he lost all objectivity with a with a vengeance.

“..solicit aid for his campaign from a foreign government.”

Or,

He was trying to expose corruption in our gov and drain the swamp.

It’s all spin.

He spun...poorly.

RE: Judge Nap disappeared right after this and returned as a new man a few weeks later.

This is unrelated to the topic, but I’ve always suspected Nap to be of the (AHEM) other persuasion.

I first suspected this when he said that the Colorado Christian Baker did not have the constitutional right to refuse service to the gay couple. Then I began to ask myself: “Why has Napolitano never been married?”

But then, I could be wrong. But I cannot help but wonder...

He accuses the President of committing felonies about once a month on average.

Not sure why anyone ever gave AF what this never-Trump dick-sucking midget troll thought.

He has veered off course searching for some traction against bigger lights on Fox. It’s all about ratings and the perception of ratings.

You might be the last person in America who wonders.

He’s very proud.

If Nappy says A, then it’s always Z. What’s up is down.
Always was with him, always will be. It’s no wonder he likes bedding his boyfriend.

I’m turning off Fox News. With the exception of Greg Gutfeld and Jessie Waters, there is nothing on there now for me to watch. I find it far too infuriating. Ditto for Drudge. There is simply nothing left, to listen to read or watch. So still love Rush and Levin. Do like American Spectator, even though hey now want you to pay for it. At my age, all these little charges recurring subscriptions add up. I am mindful and careful to not take on too much of it.

I keep the tv off...I am always ahead of the news.

Isn't it true? With all the ways to gather current events, the TV is the absolute last place I go. Even breaking news is better presented by independent sources on Youtube, IMO.

Hey Judge: Show me where it says that if you run as a candidate for President you are above the law. That it’s OK to admit to crimes and you can’t be investigated so long as you are a candidate.

I’ll wait.

I think it is because except for the one America News Network the others have to filter the news through their owners directors people like the Murdoch’s and Paul Ryan’s and it has to be approved before it goes on the air that takes extra time
