Trump Lambasts Fox News Judge Andrew Napolitano as ‘Unacceptable’
Aaron P. Bernstein/GETTY

President Donald Trump continued on Sunday to give oxygen to calls for Fox News to let Judge Andrew Napolitano go after the on-air personality claimed that the president was “immoral” and “repellent” and that he likely did obstruct justice, according to evidence in the Mueller report. Trump retweeted an obscure Twitter account on Sunday morning that said, “When you look at the continuous incorrect statements by Napolitano over the past 2 years, it is fair to ask FNC why they allow him to have national air time. The man has been significantly wrong on at least 8 major occasions. Unacceptable! Take him off the air!” He had previously claimed that Napolitano was just angry because he was overlooked for a Supreme Court post.

2. If they sack Napolitano they will be all the way down the rabbit hole

and there'd be no way to argue that they're not just Trump TV.

4. Judge Nap said Trump ordering a witness to lie was obstruction

Judge Nap has a powerful 4 minute segment on Fox, welcome to my chambers, filmed on the street outside Fox News, claiming Trump obstructed justice. Dershowitz, who is smarter than you are and smarter than I am, has a decent argument that many of the acts Nap discusses aren’t crimes if the President does them. A prosecutor has discretion on what to prosecute. Most of the job of a prosecutor is deciding not to prosecute. Without those decisions not to prosecute life would be hell, we would be in a tyranny. Everyone breaks many laws. And the President is the top prosecutor. He has the right to decide not to prosecute Flynn. He decides whether Mueller should be fired. So okay maybe Dershowitz is right. I went to a top law school, I had the highest LSAT score there. And if I disagree with Dershowitz I think the smart money should bet on him against me every fucking time. I have read hundreds of things he has written. IMO he is way way smarter than I am, way way more likely to get the law right. So let’s agree he may be right that if the President does it it isn’t obstruction. Except one conclusion of Nap doesn’t actually disagree with Dershowitz. Trump ordered McGahn to lie, to write a false memo that Trump did not order him to tell Rosenstein to fire Mueller. Ordering someone to lie about a matter likely to be part of a government investigation is not part of a Presidents job. Stopping a prosecution, yes. Firing anyone, yes. Ordering a witness to lie? No. So under any legal view Nap is correct saying Trump has obstructed justice.

He would do that.

6. Veritas - trump is not about it.

8. Veritas - Roman mythology, truth.

In Roman mythology, Veritas, meaning truth, is the goddess of truth, a daughter of Chronos, the God of Time (who has been identified with Saturn-Cronus, perhaps first by Plutarch), and the mother of Virtus.
