FELONY: 'It is a crime!' Fox's Shep Smith shames Trump for welcoming foreign interference in 2020

SHEP SMITH: "So what the president said he would do, to George Stephanopolous, if he did it, would be felonious?"

ANDREW NAPOLITANO: "Correct, meaning he would be committing a felony and the person giving it to him ... would be committing a felony as well."




“It is interference,” Smith said, describing what Trump was advocating. “And a candidate accepting anything of value from a foreign entity is a crime.”

Smith then noted that Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said he believed that the president made a “mistake” in welcoming foreign interference in American elections, but Smith wasn’t buying that excuse.

“The president has made similar comments before and he’s doubled down today,” Smith said. “During the 2016 campaign, he said he hoped Russia would find Hillary Clinton’s deleted emails, and he praised WikiLeaks for publishing stolen DNC documents.”

He's been highly critical of Trump lately.

I'm sensing he's angling for a deal on MSNBC cuz he knows the Trump ship is sinking. LOL.

Shep has always spoke his mind. The judge used to speak favorably of Trump. Lately, he's been sticking it to him. It's hard not to with the Mueller report out now, but surely Napolitano as a judge saw Trump's blatant violations before the report was available and still backed him.

But! It is minds like his and Shep Smith's that drive Trump crazy. Sometimes I am surprised by even Chris Wallace.
