and Impeachable’ — And His ‘Allusions to
Violence are Palpably Dangerous’

Fox News senior judicial analyst Andrew Napolitano argued in a column and video published on FoxNews.com Thursday morning that President Donald Trump’s “criminal behavior” with regard to Ukraine is impeachable, and that his threats against the whistleblower are dangerous. The column opens by noting that “the criminal behavior to which Trump has admitted is much more grave than anything alleged or unearthed by Special Counsel Robert Mueller, and much of what Mueller revealed was impeachable,” before outlining the specifics of the Ukraine scandal currently presenting an existential threat to his administration.

Fine. Judge Nap has gone off the deep end, too. In the words of that great philosopher, Bugs Bunny, "What a maroon!"

Judge (Eddy Munster) Nap is no impartial judge. He is bitter because he did not get a Supreme Court nomination. He is also a Trump-hater of the first order and if he was not at FOX, he would be at CNN.

Napolitano started issuing strange opinions several years ago. Once upon a time, he was spot on more often than not.

Watching Napolitano is like watching a Pro Wrestler go over to the Dark Side.
It's like when Hulk Hogan went bad.

Like most never-Trump rumpsters, Nap is exhibiting late-stages of syphilis infection of the brain--also known as TDS (not to be confused with STD).

Joe DeGenova was right, the "judge" is a fool. Since he didn't get what he wanted from Trump, he says anything and everything is impeachable. He's become a joke!

Judge Nap has become as predictable as George Conway in his reflexive anti-Trump pronouncements.
As as tiresome.

After saying that Blasey Ford woman was credible, I refuse to call him judge. He says he's an Independent but he's always been a flaming libera. Moreover, his credentials are nothing to brag about.

Nap was for a few years a local judge in New Jersey best known for being the guy to see if you needed a traffic ticket fixed. I don’t know that firsthand…. but I read it posted by a poster from New Jersey. Since he decided there was more $$$$ out there, he went commercial and began promoting his product. Himself. He ended up as “senior legal analyst” at Fox, which says even more about Fox than it does about him. I cannot stand the little creature.

If Fox wants to destroy its brand by keeping this loon on, that's their business. I rarely bother with Fox any more. Other than Carlson, Hannity, Ingraham, and Dodd, their line up is pretty worthless and not much better than CNN

Judge Nap has clearly flipped his wig. There is absolutely NOTHING that the President has done which is even SLIGHTLY off kilter, let alone rising to 'high crimes'.
Judge Nap has clearly taken Paul Ryan's directions to go after Trump or lose his cushy job to heart.

I used to have respect for Judge Napolitano. No longer. He must have really, really, really wanted to be on the Supreme Court to act out his disappointment in this way.

Napolitano does not cite any criminal statute because there isn't one. The President or anyone else for that matter can speak with foreign persons just like they can speak with US persons to receive evidence of criminal acts about anyone. Its called the First Amendment. Joe Biden has no special immunity for his past criminal deeds just because he is running for office. What is a crime is to use campaign funds as Hillary and the DNC did to pay for this information which becomes a thing of value and must be reported legally under the campaign finance laws. They laundered this payment through their law firm to avoid reporting it which is a crime.
It is also a crime to use unverified evidence to mislead a judge and get a FISA warrant .to conduct surveillance on US citizens under false pretenses.

Nappy is a complete legal know-nothing self-proclaimed know-it-all on all matters in the law and a brain dead democrat Trump hater. Obviously The Nappster has not read the actual transcript and believes that Piece Of Schiff's statement was the absolute undeniable truth as to what was said.

Judge Nap is still sore that Trump didn't pick him for the High Court and is bitter.
Boy, did Trump make the right assessment of this loon!

The so called Judge has been wrong about everything for years. When he comes on I flip the channel. He is more bidder than Shep & Chris Wallace. The Trump rejects Comey, Cohen, Scaramucci are very hostile. Why does Fox keep the Judge?

I used to have some respect for this man´s opinions, but it´s become crystal-clear that he´s hopelessly out of his depth. He should keep his mouth shut and let people guess whether he´s a fool, rather than opening it and proving that he is.

If it's true that Napolitano radically changed his stripes because he didn't get the nod from Trump for SCOTUS, then he's not the rock solid conservative Trump needs on that bench. But I'm sure that as a consolation prize for throwing his ethics and morals aside, he finds himself attending more insipid DC cocktail parties. Lol.

The Judge is violating his experience as as judge of facts.. if he has them present them if not, Publish a disclosure to the effect “ I don’t like President Trump, and support the unprecedented impeachment conducted by the Democrat controlled House of Representatives ”

The little judge with the half an inch forehead shows that he should be removed from any and all judicial 'advice'. He lost his moorings , his raging lefty interpretations should get him removed from Fox. However with Lachlan Murrdockkkkk's own kissing the dem's rear it's rather sad to see how quickly he is destroying something that his father created and made a lot of Murrdockkkk's very rich!

Judge Nappy done filled his knicker good and full today. I hope nobody puts him near a judge's bench. With this kind of mentality, he would be a terrible judge again.

Any judge would be expected to name the specific offense(s) the president is accused of committing, as well as listing the elements of the offense(s) in detail. Without such specificity, how can a "judge" claim impeachable conduct. I never see specific accusations, much less credible evidence, of the president's supposed criminal conduct.

Judge Napolitano predicted PIAPS would be indicted in May 2016. Wrong! After so many times, when he cries "wolf!", nobody listens.

And Napolitano, like Shep, tilts left and is a rabidTrump hate.
His hatred for Trump is quite evident.
Fox needs to dump him, Shep, Juan, Donna, Geraldo and about a dozen others.
Trump is correct: What's happening at Fox News?
