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 networks 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 Trumps 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 Trumps trial. That all but ensured the presidents acquittal in Wednesdays 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.

(333 posts)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?
