Barr has 'a very narrow, almost Jesuitical, understanding of the law” former judge Andrew Napolitano explained.
Fox News senior judicial analyst Andrew Napolitano slammed Attorney General William Barr’s legal reasoning for not charging President Donald Trump for obstruction of justice, calling his argument “absurd.”
Attorney General William Barr testifies before the Senate Judiciary Committee on May 1 in Washington, D.C. Win McNamee/Getty Images Special counsel Robert Mueller submitted his final report to Barr in March. Although it did not establish that the president or his campaign conspired with Russia during the 2016 election, the report laid out instances of alleged obstruction of justice by the president. Mueller’s team did not, however, determine whether Trump had committed a crime. Barr and his Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein concluded that no crime had been committed as Napolitano explained.
