Fox News Legal Analyst: Donald Trump Still 'Clearly Guilty Of A High Crime'

[Quixote1818]

Fox News senior judicial analyst Andrew Napolitano explained in a column published Thursday how President Donald Trump is “clearly guilty” of committing a high crime, despite the GOP-controlled Senate acquitting him of impeachment charges.

The former New Jersey Superior Court judge noted in his latest column on the conservative news network’s website how “law students are taught early on that a trial is not a grudge match or an ordeal; it is a search for the truth.”

But that search, he continued, “requires witnesses, and when the command from Senate Republican leaders came down that there shall be no witnesses, the truth-telling mission of Trump’s trial was radically transformed into a steamroller of political power.”

GOP senators voted last week to block witnesses, including former White House national security adviser John Bolton, from testifying in Trump’s trial. That all but ensured the president’s acquittal in Wednesday’s vote.

Napolitano, who has not shied away from breaking ranks with his pro-Trump colleagues at Fox to criticize the president, said “Trump will luxuriate in his victory.” But the pundit accused the president of trashing the oath he took to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution.

Wonder when and where Shep Smith will resurface?

2. Is this supposed to be two separate sentences?

"He is guilty of a crime."

"He is high."

Just wondering...

7. It appears Judge Nap sides with the prosecution in most cases

He's a conservative when it comes to the law.That's why he kept saying Hillary was going to be prosecuted in 2016. But he has integrity of consistency: he has stated that Trump is guilty of various impeachable crimes.

8. Is he trying to get kicked off the network?

[AtheistCrusader]

11. Pretty sure FOX has fired him at least once before.

9. Commentators should not be saying Trump was aquitted by the Senate.

Trump was acquitted by Republicans.

10. BUT HE'S STILL THE PRESIDENT

Yeah, yeah, yeah, but what are we going to do about it the next time dingbat decides to commit another crime just to show how powerful he is? Look, everybody knows he's an idiotic criminal---THEY DON'T CARE! They don't care about anything trump does that is outside their area of interest--as long as they get what they want out of him, he can run down 1600 Pennsylvania avenue buck-f*kin naked and they wouldn't care! WE HAVE A REAL PROBLEM ON OUR HANDS FOLKS. THIS PRESIDENT IS GOING TO CHEAT HIS WAY BACK INTO THE WHITEHOUSE!! THE QUESTION IS DO WE HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO STOP HIM?
