Fox & Friends hosts deflated after legal analyst drops the hammer on Trump: ‘The law is not on the president’s side’

Published 3 days ago on November 14, 2019






Fox News legal analyst Andrew Napolitano on Thursday delivered some sobering news to the hosts of “Fox & Friends,” who did their best to spin Wednesday’s impeachment hearings as a win for President Donald Trump.............................................


................

“Everybody does have their own opinion,” he acknowledged. “But… there doesn’t seem to be any dispute that the president wanted dirt on Biden and the president was willing to hold up military aid in order to get it.”

Co-host Brian Kilmeade then interjected to say that Trump should have been asking Ukraine to investigate the Bidens — but Napolitano stopped him dead in his tracks.

“The law is not on the president’s side,” he said. “The law says asking for a campaign favor, whether it arrives or not…”

“But it’s not a campaign favor!” Kilmeade objected.

“Well that depends on how you look at it,” Napolitano replied. “Is he investigating 2016 or does he want dirt on Biden… for 2020?”

Earhardt then tried to claim that Trump couldn’t have been engaging in extortion because Ukraine eventually received its money.

“The delay is the quid pro quo,” he replied. “The delay of 55 days knowing that the Russians were at the border.”

1. the trump tar baby is so wonderful to behold. Law is the law and ignoring it doesn't make it go away

[bucolic_frolic]

2. Fox and Friends are in lollipop land

Mental health should be summoned to introduce them to reality

[paleotn]

3. Oh my f'ing god!

Earhardt....you stupid mother fucker....Ukraine received the aid and no investigations were announced only because the scheme blew up prematurely. Jesus H. Christ, she's a walking, talking stereotype.

[Takket]

4. And let's not forget

Drumpf’s condition for getting the money was Ukraine had to publicly announce the investigation. Which was clearly meant to damage Biden’s candidacy.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

16. correct. the public announcement was the goal

The announcement itself would damage Biden and Trump could point to that announcement in every rally. Trump would also be able to claim it was initiated by Ukraine with no involvement on his part.

It was an attempt to create "dark" propaganda.

5. Trapped in a cage with the monster they helped create and the cage is getting smaller.

Good. Must see TV.

[Martin Eden]

6. I sometimes wonder about the Fox TV personalities

Are they true believers in Trump and the political propaganda they spew, or are they mercenary actors playing a role because they are paid well?

[Pacifist Patriot]

9. I have long wondered that.

Either way, they are morally bankrupt, but I do wonder.

[crickets]

11. Same, and then I realize it doesn't matter. What they're doing is awful regardless. nt

[3catwoman3]

15. IMO, It is worse if...

...they DON’T believe the bilge they are spewing.

I wonder the same thing about all the right wing senators and representatives. I think most of them just want to stay in power/office so they say the crap their voters want to her. More hypocrisy.

[Martin Eden]

20. The only principle is their own career

Journalistic integrity?

Putting country first?

Not nearly enough of either.

[Submariner]

18. I used to wonder that too until I saw Ed Schultz go from MSNBC Liberal to RT Putin lover

It seems that the big money wins.

Tim Russert used to be a liberal then Jack Welch bought Tim's soul for multi-million dollar paychecks and a house on Nantucket. Tim then helped Chris Matthews pile up on Phil Donahue and get his show cancelled. Then Tim and Chris both became Instant Cheney lovers. It was all about the money.

I miss the Media Whores Online site that helped flush out the Russert-like stench.

[Martin Eden]

21. Big money wins

I've never had to choose between professional integrity and economic security so I am not in the best position to judge, but I suspect some of these turncoats were driven more by ego and greed than dire need.

7. They are so pathetic. Hunter Biden could be worse than Idi Amin and it wouldn't matter

Trump bribed and extorted Ukraine. Case closed.

8. Starting to wonder how much longer Napolitano is going to last ....

He's clearly had some kind of limited awakening. Either he realizes he no longer fits in at Faux or management decides it first.

[LakeArenal]

10. Yes, but he needs to get a job on another network so...

He’s burning his bridge so he can pundit elsewhere.

[maddiemom]

19. Napolitano and Bill Kristol...I've despised them for years...but now,

I've actually started to appreciate them, especially Kristol. They're like the actual friends in in your life who have different political views, but you know are sincere in their beliefs, and aren't viciously close-minded. Sean Hannity and his ilk are hopeless, on the other hand. Trump has certainly separated the (somewhat) critical thinkers from the deplorables.

12. Did anyone else see the CNN segment of Fox's impeachment hearings reaction?

It was sickening, and I mean SICKENING. Featured Hannity and Tucker. From memory, I heard comments about how the ambassador was using the hearing as a 6 hour therapy session, Tucker bellowing “is this the kind of people who represent us abroad?”, Hannity raging against Schiff with lies and slander. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. It stuck with me for hours; a 2 minute segment in the hate spewing network that profoundly disturbed me.

And I thought; what about all those people who are too busy/lazy/indifferent to watch the hearings and just rely on clowns like Hannity and Tuck to get their takeaway? It’s literally a whole other universe, a topsy turvy opposite land over there.

17. A Two-Minute Hate--how Orwellian.......

Those two assholes make me ill as well. And you're right--the REALLY sickening part is that millions of viewers suck in their bile and regard it as gospel. In their wormhole view of reality, up is down, truth is fiction, and wrong is right. Fox needs to be burned to the ground, and have the ashes buried in Chernobyl.

13. Fox News is working overtime trying to protect Trump with propaganda.

[oldsoftie]

14. Trump will say he wanted a SCOTUS spot. I think The Judge has usually been straight on the law.

I've seen him be critical of trump MANY times based on law, not opinion.
Read his column that was released recently.
