Opinion: Fox News’s Napolitano is a 'very talented lawyer' who’s making a 'very dumb legal argument'
By Erik Wemple Erik Wemple Media critic with a focus on the ups and downs and downs of the cable-news industry. Email Bio Follow Media critic April 29 at 1:30 PM In the early days of the Trump administration, White House press secretary Sean Spicer found a use for Fox News senior judicial analyst Andrew Napolitano. In one of his more famous tweets, President Trump in March 2017 alleged that President Barack Obama “had my ‘wires tapped’ in Trump Tower just before the victory.
— Donald J. Trump April 28, 2019 ....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. Such views on Trump’s attempts to derail special counsel Robert S. Mueller III aren’t hard to find. Democrats on Capitol Hill commonly offer them, as do other commentators on cable news. It makes sense, in light of the long list of actions that Trump took — or attempted to take — against the Mueller team.
