Fox's Napolitano Rips 'Venal, Amoral, Deceptive' Trump: Mueller Report Might Be Enough to Prosecute

him.


From Mediaite this afternoon -- video at the link:

Fox News senior judicial analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano suggested on Friday there may be enough evidence in the Mueller report to “prosecute” President Donald Trump.

“Depending on how you look at them, there might be enough to prosecute, but the attorney general has decided it’s not enough to prosecute,” Napolitano on his show Judge Napolitano’s Chambers, which airs digitally on Fox Nation. “But it did show a venal, amoral, deceptive Donald Trump, instructing his aides to lie and willing to help them do so. That’s not good in the president of the United States.”

As for the evidence of obstruction raised in the Mueller report, Napolitano said Trump “is not exactly cleared.” He continued by noting the numerous potential obstruction of justice attempts Mueller notes in the report, including Trump asking Don McGhan to fire the special counsel, and the events surrounding his firing of James Comey as head of the FBI.

which I thought was him trying to preserve his legal reputation, rather than going along with the Fox "it's not illegal if the president wants it" line. But this actually looks like an opinion from him that Trump and his campaign were breaking all the ethical rules.

would dare to speak up against Der Fuehrer. Hopefully he will get through to some of the Trump faithful and plant a seed of doubt in their heads.
