Trump retailiates against Fox's Judge Napolitano, claims Napolitano asked for SC appointment

Knew this was coming since Napolitano made his disgust with Trump's crimes clear.

Thank you to brilliant and highly respected attorney Alan Dershowitz for destroying the very dumb legal argument of “Judge” Andrew Napolitano....

....Ever since Andrew came to my office to ask that I appoint him to the U.S. Supreme Court, and I said NO, he has been very hostile! Also asked for pardon for his friend. A good “pal” of low ratings Shepard Smith.

I don't think Trump meant Shep Smith needed a pardon. I think he's referring to some other, highplainsdem Apr 2019 #5

He had only eight years of experience as a state trial court judge, and I'm sure he knew perfectly well that he wouldn't qualify for the job and wouldn't get through a confirmation hearing. Trump just has to tear down people who criticize him, and his method is often by claiming they begged him for something, he turned them down, and now they're just mad and jealous.

I wonder what Napolitano will have to say about this?

unnamed friend of Napolitano's, though I have no idea who that would be.

But as usual Trump's writing is very sloppy.

Anyway, my guess is he's just taking a swipe at Shep Smith for all his very astute and devastating criticisms of Trump.

I think Rump meant an unnamed friend of Napolitano's. Then he had to try and lump the judge in with the other Fux Noos reporter who hates Rump, Shep Smith. OR maybe he even meant that the friend was the pal of shep.

Who the hell knows with that numpty bellend.

From ten days ago:

A woman who claims to be a victim of multimillionaire alleged pedophile Jeffrey Epstein has filed a defamation lawsuit against high-profile attorney Alan Dershowitz, claiming that he made "false and malicious" statements about her.

According to the lawsuit, which was filed in the Southern District of New York, Dershowitz -- who used to represent Epstein -- knowingly made "false and malicious defamatory statements" against Virginia Giuffre, formerly known as Virginia Roberts, who claims to have been a victim of sex trafficking and abuse by Epstein when she was underage.

And, yes, even with SHITLER saying it, the Napster was up for SCotUS, despite his absurd NON-qualifications, but who cares about *QUALIFICATIONS*!1 (Being a talk show personality)

He and everybody are waiting for the updating of the protocols on whether same-sexism is a factor in hearings.
