Fox News Judge Andrew Napolitano has been Pissing Off Trump
Fox News is usually nothing butt Republican propaganda so I avoid it as a rule. Butt, I sometimes watch Fox for the entertainment value because I often find it amusing. What surprises me is that they haven't fired their resident judge - Andrew Napolitano.
Newsweek just ran an article about Napolitano that I think is outstanding.
FOX NEWS JUDGE SAYS HOUSE IMPEACHMENT INQUIRY 'CONSISTENT WITH THE RULES' THAT 'REPUBLICAN MAJORITY' SIGNED INTO LAW
BY JASON LEMON ON 10/24/19 AT 9:29 AM EDT
Fox News senior judicial analyst Andrew Napolitano said Thursday that Republican complaints about the "secrecy" of closed-door impeachment hearings don't hold water because the process is "consistent with the rules" that a "Republican majority" signed into law.
Trump and his Republican supporters have repeatedly argued that the Democratic-led impeachment inquiry has been conducted improperly because the testimony of witnesses has been carried out in close-door hearings. On Wednesday morning , a group of GOP representatives, some of whom did not serve on the investigating committees, stormed one of those secure depositions, chanting "let us in." This delayed the hearing, but it eventually went forward in the afternoon with only the Democrats and Republicans serving on the relevant committees permitted to attend.
"As frustrating as it may be to have these hearings going on behind closed doors...they are consistent with the rules," Napolitano, who previously served as a New Jersey Superior Court judge, explained during a segment of the Fox News morning show Fox & Friends .
"When were the rules written last?" the legal expert asked. "In January of 2015. And who signed them? John Boehner [the Republican speaker of the House]. And who enacted them? A Republican majority," he asserted.
"The rules say that this level of inquiry, this initial level of inquiry, can be done in secret," Napolitano said. He pointed out that he personally wishes he could view the testimony and that it was public, but he added that the impeachment investigation was thus far consistent with the ones conducted against Presidents Richard Nixon and Bill Clinton. Nixon inevitably resigned to avoid impeachment, while Clinton was formally impeached by the House but not removed by the Senate.
"Eventually, there will be a public presentation of this, at which lawyers for the president can cross-examine these people and challenge them," Napolitano explained. "This is like presenting a case to a grand jury, which is never done in public."

Please forgive me, butt I think you watch a couple of video clips from Fox News. I hope my conservative frenemies, who are yuuuge fans of Fox News appreciate these videos.
As you can see, Napolitano is no "Trumpster". Napolitano actually comprehends the constitution. Here's a video clip of something he recently said on Fox News:
Napolitano was also interviewed by Shepard Smith. Shepard Smith is a true journalist. Perhaps that's why he decided to leave Fox News. Smith probably decided he couldn't continue to be associated with Fox News.
I love being able to use Fox News to prove that The Donald should be impeached.

I wonder how long it will take for the White-winger to denounce Fox News.
Oh boy.
Here come the deflections.
I clicked on the stinky link. The video there was fucking hilarious! I love the way The Donald turns on his former friends and allies and backstabs them.
Neil Cavuto certainly doesn't work for Trump. Cavuto, like Shepard Smith, seems to be a good journalist.
Cavuto and Smith provide quite a contrast to Sean Hannity and Fucker Carlson who are yuuuge idiots. And I really hate the Fox and Fiends circle jerk.
Yes Hannity sucks ass.
When Fox is live, shit happens:
Seems to me that Fox News is less biased than you opine it to be. Certainly the majority of the major mainstream media would never lessen its bias to saying anything good about Trump.
Fox and fiends is totally biased. That's why The Donald frequently calls in there. And Sean Hannity, Fucker Carlson and Laura Ingram are famous for their total devotion to Trump. Trump even calls Hannity for advice.
Butt, Fox News during the afternoon is much less biased. The reason "mainstream media" rarely "says anything good about Trump" is because Trump rarely does anything good. I have seen some positive coverage about Trump when it's warranted.
For instance when Trump briefly supported universal background checks (after the mass shootings at a Florida school and El Paso) CNN and MSNBC actually praised Trump. Unfortunately, Trump walked his support fo gun safety back after talking to the NRA. The mainstream media also praised Trump when he banned bump stocks.
So now they're doing everything they can to disrupt Congressional proceedings. They even bum rushed a SCIF (Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility)
They even have some of these reps on record defending closed door hearings.
Funny how all the idiots all have a meeting with trump then all come out and pull these stunts.
Sad day when elected congress people are nothing but stooges for the corrupt moron in chief.
Don't laugh with your mouth full.
Truth and facts, two things trump absolutely hates. Trump puts loyalty above everything, including truth, facts, honesty, etc..
His only loyalty is money.
You can now buy stamps to mark your bills.
He had precognition.
Does a Trump supporter have the right to refuse a bill marked like that as not being legal tender?
I think the bills are still legal tender.
There are several pro-Trump stamps being sold. Do people who don't like Trump get to claim those bills are not legal tender? There were also similar pro-Trump stamps in 2016.
Whether or not the stamps are positive or negative about Trump, I would still consider it desecrating the bills.
Banks will filter them out of circulation to be returned to the Federal reserve for destruction and replacement.
So, are they being defaced to render them unfit to be reissued? That is the question.
And the answer is no, whoever is doing this wants them to be reissued.
People who deface US currency can be prosecuted.
Although I think the "FUCK TRUMP" bills are humorous, I don't think it's funny if a child gets one.
The pro-Trump stamps are not obscene butt they suck too.
Apparently there's even a Trumpeter who thinks Trump lives in the Lincoln Memorial. Now that's hilarious!
Too friggin' funny!! He's always counted on the ignorance of his supporters.
Good info. Thanks Split-P. (Now, THAT would be a SOUPer pseudonym - could use this as an avatar):
Actually, I think that the name with the avatar you chose is a lot better.
It's still legal tender.
Yeah, butt local businesses can set their own rules:
But fails to give it in return. He does seem somewhat loyal to his family. Mostly Melania's son ... together ... who she loves very much.
The personal attack by Trump should start ASAP...
Trump started the personal attacks last April.
I'm still somewhat surprised that he can walk anywhere. You'd think a spineless person would be pretty much incapable of any movement. Except maybe bowel.
Why would Shepard Smith need a pardon?
Dare I ask?
Shepard Smith hasn't committed a crime butt he pissed off The Donald.
Members of the FBI who started the Russian investigation that evolved into the Mueller investigation did not commit a crime either butt apparently, since they pissed off Trump, they are going to be persecuted by Barr.
Barr is investigating people who pissed off The Donald and he has impaneled a grand jury to begin persecutions. I expected to be indicted soon.
There are some who say that the universe forms by the activity of tiny bits of something or other that blink in and out of existence , at the edge of all that is.
Legend has it that Trump was once not an asshole, during that infinitesimally brief moment when matter itself blinked out of existence.
And that, my friends, is science!
