Judge Nap, the Mendacious Magistrate

| April 29, 2019

Judge Nap

More from our own Poetrooper, where he discovers the reason for the sea-change in Fox News’ Judge Napolitano’s attitude towards President Trump. Read on:

Poetrooper

I’m not a daytime watcher of Fox News, but as an always-on television is within earshot, I do tend to be a bit of a detached daytime listener. As such, I have been mystified by the one-eighty-degree turn of Fox legal analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano from being an ardent Trump-supporter to a constant critic of the president. It was one of those mysteries we must sometimes wait years for to get an explanation of what led to such a sudden, inexplicable political reversal. But thanks to that titan of tweeting, our nation’s chief executive (Dems would prefer that to be Titanic), we now know what inspired this sudden onset of anti-Trump hostility from Judge Nap.

Following his hugely successful Wisconsin rally Saturday night, Donald Trump tweeted this:

“….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.”

Aha! Sorry, couldn’t resist that — it’s so seldom one gets to use aha, and for once, it actually applies. But seriously, folks (as a certain comedian used to say, who, by the way, like our president, could never get any respect, either), if true, Trump’s tweet does certainly provide motive for Judge Nap’s mysterious morphing from a Fox News fan of the president to a continually carping critic, without even a hint of explanation from the network. This is another example of how all these so-called “expert” observations we’re continually fed by the media are far too dependent on the personal feelings and attitudes of the so-called experts rather than being objective and fact-based. Moreover, Trump’s tweet shows the entire nation that Napolitano’s goodwill, even his on-air legal opinions, can be bought — not exactly a quality most presidents would look for in a Supreme Court appointee, is it?

What is even more mystifying is this: whatever made Napolitano think he, an on-air legal “analyst” for Fox News Network, was of sufficient juristic eminence to be appointed to the highest court in the land? True, he was a New Jersey Superior Court judge, and that is a statewide bench, but it’s an intermediate court, not the New Jersey Supreme Court, which service upon would have lent a bit more heft to Napolitano’s national ambitions. You can bet the farm that had Trump made the appointment, the media would have immediately and endlessly denounced Judge Nap as judicially unqualified and appointed only due to his on-air support of Trump.

And for a top-level legal analyst, Judge Nap has to be politically tone-deaf to not realize what a field day the media would have with a Trump pardon for a friend of two Fox personalities. Those liberal headhunters would hang a cronyism-corruption charge around Trump’s neck that would create a political stench worse than a long-dead albatross. Trump wisely recognized the hazard and declined to put himself in such jeopardy, correctly calculating that Nap going negative was the lesser of two bad options. Like so many of us, Trump has to be aware that far too many of Judge Nap’s past on-air judicial prognostications have turned out to be decidedly wrong — pure crap from Nap.

Analyst, indeed — Fox News needs to replace this mendacious magistrate.

Judge Napolitano on the Supreme Court? The mind reels. Thanks Poe, another great write up.

Fox news started out great but in recent years, went down the tubes. That’s all I’m going to say.

Fox News and Newsmax have drifted away from what they used to be… From what made them rise in the first place.

Part one of my response in another thread, dismantling some of his arguments: Andrew Napolitano: Mueller laid out at least a half-dozen crimes of obstruction committed by Trump False. Mueller clearly indicated what would constitute obstruction. What I quoted above presents an argument as to why one can validly say that the President engaged in obstruction. Andrew Napolitano brought up an example of someone tackling someone else to prevent him from giving testimony. Yes, that example would be obstruction. However, that doesn’t apply in this case. Andrew Napolitano should have come up with an accurate analogy. In this case, someone tackling judge, who assigned the case judge in the case where the testimony is needed. This wouldn’t constitute obstruction to justice, as described in the report, as preventing the head judge to make it to his office that day wouldn’t prevent justice from taking course in the case judge’s courtroom. This analogy comes closer to what the Mueller Report argued. Firing people at levels above the investigation would not have stopped the investigation. Hence, not necessarily obstruction. I downloaded the redacted Mueller report. Based on what I read, there is clearly insufficient evidence, or information, to reach the conclusion that President Trump “obstructed”. It clearly states that the Trump campaign didn’t knowingly or willingly collude. Where there was interaction between a Russian, and the campaign, the campaign was under the impression that they were dealing with an American. Judge Jeanine Pirro, unlike Andrew Napolitano, nailed this with a more accurate explanation of what was going on. Andrew Napolitano: — from asking former Deputy National Security Adviser K.T. McFarland to write an untruthful letter about the reason for Flynn’s chat with Kislyak, to asking From the Mueller report: “The next day, the President asked Priebus to have McFarland draft an internal email that would confirm that the President did not direct Flynn to call the Russian Ambassador about sanctions. Priebus said he told the President he would only direct McFarland to write such a letter if she were comfortable with it. Priebus called McFarland into his office to convey the President’s… Read more »

And this: Andrew Napolitano: to firing Comey to impede the FBI’s investigations, What the Mueller Report says: “On May 3, 2017, Comey testified in a congressional hearing, but declined to answer questions about whether the President was personally under investigation. Within days, the President decided to terminate Comey. The President insisted that the termination letter, which was written for public release, state that Comey had informed the President that he was not under investigation. The day of the firing, the White House maintained that Comey’s termination resulted from independent recommendations from the Attorney General and Deputy Attorney General that Comey should be discharged for mishandling the Hillary Clinton email investigation.” — Mueller Report If Comey is going to privately tell the President that he was not under investigation, then refuses to state such in front of a congressional hearing, I’m sorry, Comey lacks integrity. He couldn’t be trusted. If you read the report, President Trump’s advisors did not have a positive outlook on Comey, based on a track record of his performance in his position. He was fired for reasons related to his lack of integrity, and for how he handled Hillary Clinton’s email investigation. The report also pointed out that the firing of Comey was not going to prevent the Mueller investigation. Andrew Napolitano: to dangling a pardon in front of Michael Cohen to stay silent, From the Mueller Report: “On April 24, 2018, the President responded to a reporter’s inquiry whether he would consider a pardon for Cohen with, “Stupid question.” On June 8, 2018, the President said he “hadn’t even thought about” pardons for Manafort or Cohen, and continued, “It’s far too early to be thinking about that. They haven’t been convicted of anything. There’s nothing to pardon.” And on June 15, 2018, the President expressed sympathy for Cohen, Manafort, and Flynn: in a press interview and said, I feel badly about a lot of them, because I think a lot of it is very unfair. ” President Trump accurately described this as a witch-hunt. The investigation was supposed to be on whether there was knowing/willing collusion… Read more »

Ah! So – sucking up ahead of time as a bribe to get a job your aren’t qualified for doesn’t work on dTrump.

Thanks for the article, Poetrooper! I didn’t know about this before, but it is very pertinent.

Tom Huxton

So…. the initial praise was just a facetious brown-nose kabuki?

Donald’s reelection chances look better every day.

Commissar

The judge cares more about the constitution and our country than he does his party or this president.

I see how that is confusing for Poe.

SFC D

You see? Did you get a new glass bellybutton installed in your absence? Do you see that the point of the article is that the judge cares more about the judge than principle?

Commissioner Wretched

Lars, you’re only saying that because he “turned” on Trump, and he did that because the president wouldn’t consider him for the Supreme Court.

I’m not surprised that this is confusing to you.

Slow Joe

I laughed.

Typical leftist behavior. Praise the Republitards that attack others on the right, then when he dares run against a D-rat, drop the full weight of the MSM smear campaign on them, like it happened to McCain and Romney.

The funny thing though is that the tards never learn that the Left will never, EVER, like them.
Divide and Conquer, like Alinsky used to say.

Poetrooper

Yeah that Judge Nap he’s a real stand-up guy, Lars. Goes sucking up to POTUS begging for an appointment and when he gets denied turns as vicious as an ex-wife in divorce proceedings.

Your deficient character assessment skills are glaringly obvious, Lars.

Commissar

Whether he turned on Trump or not, what he is saying is accurate.

That should matter.

You should be concerned about what Trump is doing and not make excuses for dismissing those pointing out the problems with Trump’s actions.

David

I am guessing that you did not read thebesig’s post re. Napolitano’s accuracy?

SFC D

What thebesig wrote is irrelevant to the discussion. It means not what was written by the author, but what Lars says it means. We are far too brainwashed and simple to fathom even one iota of the true meaning of thebesig’s words. Our lot is to gather at the feet of the Commisar and gather the golden nuggets of wisdom he chooses to dispense among we, the chosen.

OWB

So, was Nap lying when he sang Trump’s praises, or is he lying now with his criticisms? Can’t have it both ways.

Well, except in the delusional world of the left where 2 + 2 = 5, depending upon how you feel about it this week. It might be 7.

Ex-PH2

Yes. Yes, he is.

thebesig

Commissar: Whether he turned on Trump or not,

This is not a question on whether he turned on President Trump or not. He turned on President Trump, and by doing so, he showed us his true colors.

Commissar: what he is saying is accurate.

False. I quoted relevant statements, from the Mueller report, proving Napolitano wrong. No, what he said was not accurate, but propaganda. He had an ax to grind.

Commissar: That should matter.

What actually matters, and what you are ignoring, is the fact that Andrew Napolitano was incorrect in his argument. Even a liberal legal expert, who identified as a Democrat, disagreed with Napolitano’s arguments.

This is key, as it shows a side of Napolitano that many were not aware of. Based on his attitude in the aftermath of President Trump’s refusing to consider him for nomination to the US Supreme Court, I’m glad that he is not going to be up for consideration for such a position.

Commissar: You should be concerned about what Trump is doing

No need for concern. President Trump has proven to be successful in the free market. He knows exactly what needs to be done, with regards to policies, to facilitate economic prosperity. Not only from an economic and business standpoint, but also from a true freedom standpoint.

Our founding fathers were rich men. They set up a system that would facilitate economic success. Unlike Napolitano, or those that dislike President Trump and his actions, the later actually has experience in this area… True freedom is facilitated by a free-market economy. The policies that come into effect need to facilitate these two. President Trump is doing exactly that.

Commissar: and not make excuses for dismissing those pointing out the problems with Trump’s actions.

The only person that’s making excuses, here, is you. Andrew Napolitano is clearly wrong, as I pointed out in the post above.

Ret_25X

false. Did you fail TABE D testing?

Even a 6th grade reading comprehension level should be able to glean from the Mueller report that no collusion and no obstruction occurred within the Trump admin.

Now, the Clinton admin, on the other hand…

USMC Steve

No Lars, what Napolitano was saying was NOT accurate. He was wrong, and Poe demonstrated that with factual analysis gleaned from the ACTUAL REPORT. The facts must be fucking with your mind. Leftists don’t do well with such things, because they are all deficient in grasp of reality, particularly when it goes against their fantasy world.

Originally posted by Commissar:

Wrong. Andrew Napolitano only cares about Andrew Napolitano, he doesn’t care about the country or about the Constitution. Just himself.

There are multiple reasons to why President Trump didn’t want to include Andrew Napolitano to his “nomination list” for the Supreme Court. President Trump clearly wants to appoint constitutionalist judges. He has already shown a track record of doing that. He does this because he cares about the country, unlike Andrew Napolitano.

You can see, by Napolitano’s attitude in the aftermath, that President Trump was wise in rejecting his request to be included on that list.

Veritas Omnia Vincit

I think a great many of our fellow citizens fail to realize that most of the networks use these people as “experts” without ever disclosing that their “expert” opinions are nothing more than opinions and are not necessarily grounded in facts. Especially when it comes to the law which is as malleable as Play-Doh on a Tuesday in July, in Florida…

Poetrooper

Does anyone but ol’ Poe think that pic of Judge Nap that Ed posted with my article makes him look like that disrespected comedian I referenced in the piece: Rodney Daingerfield?

5th/77th FA

I always had a lot of respect for Rodney Dangerfield. This tool of a judge…not any at all.

And BTW, Larsi boi, again,…go away…go far away. Your reading comprehension skills are atrocious….Get bent!

Cameron Kingsley

Yep. I was enjoying the peace and quiet and of course Lars has to come back.

A Proud Infidel®™️

Lars and Nap are both so full of shit that they should have flush handles instead of ears!

Cameron Kingsley

Now that’s a new one on me API. I have heard of being so full of shit that your eyes are brown but never having flush handles for ears. Good one!

Ex-PH2

A little bit. But Mr. Dangerfield had some class to his act. This guy, not so much.

His notion that Trump could be bought with flattery backfired on him. I would not trust him for anything now, not even as a judge at a 4H pie-eating contest at the county fair.

SFC D

Always thought Nap looked like Riff Raff.

JimmyB

Looks like John Gotti to me. But the teflon don had a lot better clothes and Rodney Dangerfield was a better man. Nap is crap.

Ex-PH2

You’re right: he does kind of look a little like Gotti, only chunkier and less well-dressed.

rgr769

I have been disagreeing with many of the Napster’s legal opinions and analysis on Fox for about two years. Especially his comments over the past year. So this news of Trumps refusal for his requests is an “Ahah” moment for me, as well. Judges that allow their personal disappointments to color or influence their legal analysis and judgments shouldn’t be judges. Anyone know who the Nap wanted pardoned?

sbalm

Closest I saw was one of Napolitano’s friends, but several articles go on to say it is unclear who that friend is.

Commissar

I really encourage you all to listen to what he is saying and stop making up reasons to ignore him.

What is happening right now it the biggest threat to our democracy in 80 years.

I find it astonishing that so many “patriots” are supporting Trump.

Proves that far too many “patriots” are authoritarian personality sycophants.

He is an imperial president openly promoting most of the tenets of fascism while refusing to recognize the legitimacy of any institution that challenges his authority even equal constitutional powers like the courts or congress.

This guy is genuinely a malignant narcissist sociopath con artist demagogue.

He is exactly the same personality type and shows exactly the same behavior patterns as Mussolini.

Also, read the damn section summaries of the Mueller report. There is no way to argue this guy is fit to be president. He absolutely was not “exonerated”. The report is damning. And We do not even know the evidence being collected in the 14 criminal referrals Mueller sent to other jurisdiction when he discovered criminal activity by Trump and associates that were not part of his narrow mandate of Russian interference and obstruction.

OWB

Pot, may we introduce Kettle…

rgr769

You prove what a mindless NPC drone you are every time you post something. You are willing to get down on your knee-pads for anyone who plays Orange Man Bad with you. The biggest threat to our representative republic in the past 80 years is the shit the 0bama Deep State pulled to cover their illegal intel ops against anyone opposing it. Keep drinking the Kool-Aid.

Commissioner Wretched

Obstruction … tell me, O Wise Legal Scholar that you are, Lars … HOW can there be obstruction if there is no crime?

The biggest threat to our “democracy” (we aren’t a democracy, we’re a constitutional republic, but I’ll let that one pass) isn’t Trump. If I had to guess, I’d say it was the Deep State shit that was going on under the presidency of the last fellow in the office – you know, the Anointed One of the Left, Barack Obama.

Which brings me to another point I have yet to hear a leftie answer in anything remotely resembling an intelligent reply … if all the Russian interference took place – the Mueller report says it did indeed take place, just that Trump and his campaign weren’t involved – and it all happened in 2014-2016 … WHO WAS PRESIDENT THEN? Why didn’t Obama do something about it when it was made known to him?

Hmmm?

HMCS(FMF) ret

Better watch out CW… he’s gonna throw out that “empiric data” card on you.

Also, Lars … I don’t have to read the summaries of the Mueller report. I read the whole thing. All the unredacted stuff. Front to back.

By the standards some of you clowns on the left set, nobody is fit to be president.

timactual

“nobody is fit to be president.”

I can agree with that. I think the founding fathers agreed, too, which is why they tried to limit the powers of the exec. and the judicial branches to only those necessary to the functioning of a minimal government. (see also amendments 9 & 10).

This is interesting. What “tenets of fascism” has Trump been promoting? What is the definition of “imperial president?”

Commissar: I really encourage you all to listen to what he is saying and stop making up reasons to ignore him. Don’t assume that we aren’t. I’ve been a news junkie since 1982. I’ve been a history buff for four decades. Additionally, I have an MBA. As others here know, I’ve been tracking global weather since 2007. It is from these perspectives that I support what President Trump is doing. It is from these perspectives that I’m seeing where others, who are against President Trump, are wrong. Not only are they wrong, they are susceptible to propaganda. We are not making up reasons to “ignore” whatever it is you find fault in him. That is like asking us to “ignore” the unicorns in our driveways. Both your claim against President Trump, and those unicorns, have an equal likelihood of being real. Commissar: What is happening right now it the biggest threat to our democracy in 80 years. If you are talking about what the Democrats are doing, what the mainstream media is doing, what our education system is doing, and especially what just happened with regards to the Mueller witch-hunt and the associated miscarriage of journalism, then yes, this is the biggest threat to democracy. What those of us, with critical thinking skills saw, was that those who demanded that we accept the results of the election, during the campaign, refuse to accept the results of the election. Not getting their way, they turned to efforts to abuse positions of power to attempt to remove President Trump from power. Had they succeeded, we, as a Republic, would be well on our way to decline into non-relevance… Ludicrous speed ahead towards becoming a third world country. Thank God that they failed. And, here’s hoping that those who perpetrated this get held accountable. Commissar: I find it astonishing that so many “patriots” are supporting Trump. You shouldn’t. I find it astonishing that you, as a veteran, would miss the fact that our profession requires us to rely heavily on the facts. In order to get a hint of what those facts are,… Read more »

Commissar: He is an imperial president False. President Trump is doing what the Constitution allows him to do. Additionally, he is carrying out the kind of leadership that our founding fathers intended to be carried out from the office of the presidency. If you want to look at an “imperial president”, look no further than Obama. His policies, forcing a Catholic organization to fund a policy that supports birth control, is akin to Roman Emperor Caligula’s passing an addict requiring all temples “to have his image” as a worship center piece. An “imperial president” is what we will get if we abolish the Electoral College. Such an action would reduce the majority of the country to the status of imperial provinces… With densely populated cities determining who becomes the President. Commissar: openly promoting most of the tenets of fascism If that were the case, he would be calling for additional government control of the means of production. He will be calling for more government control of the other institutions of government, especially from his seat. He definitely would be calling for more regulations. His actions indicate otherwise. President Trump is calling for the reductions of regulations, reducing regulations on the economy is not fascism. His call for the reduction of at least a certain number of government regulations, for every new government regulation placed in, goes against fascism. Suppression of the opposition? I see that coming from the left, both on the streets, and on the Internet. It’s obvious that you don’t understand what fascism is. During World War II, their opposition to communism was not the same as that as the Republican opposition to communism. Conservativism, and communism, are on opposite ends of the political spectrum. Fascism and communism are competing/rival socialist models on the same side of the political spectrum. Commissar: while refusing to recognize the legitimacy of any institution that challenges his authority even equal constitutional powers like the courts or congress. I’m sorry, but reading the texts of has speeches, as well as reading his twitter feed, I don’t see support for your assumption here. What… Read more »

Commissar: This guy is genuinely a malignant narcissist sociopath con artist demagogue. The last president would come closer to that description. Not this one. Additionally, you projected a trait, onto the president, that many of us see of you here. Commissar: He is exactly the same personality type and shows exactly the same behavior patterns as Mussolini. A reading of Mussolini, to include his history and professional progression, contradicts that claim. Mussolini’s professional upbringing was through leftist groups. President Trump’s professional upbringings was through the free market. Additionally, I don’t see a similarity between the current president’s personality and that of Mussolini. Mussolini identified as a socialist. President Trump does not identify as a socialist. Commissar: Also, read the damn section summaries of the Mueller report. If you bothered to read the section summaries, as you implore people here to do, you wouldn’t be saying things here that you’ve actually said. No, the section summaries don’t indicate a person that “is not” fit for president. In fact, you would read in there an acknowledgment that the president was within his left and right limits. What matters is whether collusion and/or obstruction existed. There was clearly no collusion, and insufficient evidence existed for them to conclude one way or the other with regards to obstruction. However, he did lay out what would constitute obstruction and illustrated how the president’s actions did not obstruct. Commissar: There is no way to argue this guy is fit to be president. There are plenty of ways to argue how this president is fit to be president. As you can see, with my series of replies, I just laid out one way he is fit to be president. Commissar: He absolutely was not “exonerated”. And, they concluded that they could not reach a judgment on whether he committed obstruction or not. Insufficient evidence means that you move on without indicting or convicting. Just as it doesn’t indicate innocence, it doesn’t indicate guilt. Commissar: The report is damning. No it isn’t. I’ve been going through it since I downloaded it. Not damning. If you bothered reading further,… Read more »

thebesig, you left out the one thing that sticks out like a sore thumb: Commissar is a socialist, a Marxist and a communist apparatchik. He has become not just intentionally blind to the direction he’s heading, but he also embraces it because he thinks he’ll be “in charge”, or something like that.
The lessons of real communism are still not sinking in: those who cooperated with Stalin and Mao were forced to dig their own graves and then executed by firing squads, and that included members of Russia’s Army.
There are no free rides in socialism, but that mordant dupe Taylor thinks there are, and that is what annoys him the most about Trump’s being elected.

Lars Taylor's Narcissism

I was a deputy. You guys would not believe some of the things that I have seen while on patrol. Time to tell everyone about my experiences as a mounted deputy. There I was, riding my horse, until my horse stopped. I was lost. I wondered how I was going to survive. Then, I thought about it and realized that I could kill my horse. I could use its hide to make clothing, and treat its meat for long term storage and consumption. I pulled my pistol out, stepped away from the horse, then pulled the trigger. I hear a loud bang. I all of a sudden realized that I don’t know how to skin a horse, butcher it, prepare it, or anything like that. Next moment, a kid and a mother scream, then I notice something. I just shot a mechanical horse, right outside a store. I was riding it. Someone drove off in my cruiser. The store owner comes out and reports that someone stole some stuff, and took off. I look at my cruiser getting smaller in the distance. I put some more quarters into the coin intake, hopped right onto the horse, then put it on fast. I was going to catch up to my cruiser dammit. The store owner gets in front of me and asks me what I am doing. I get mad. I keep going fast, and I keep telling him to get out of my way. He yells back at me instead of getting out of my way. I lost the cruiser. I got off the horse, then arrested the store owner for interrupting my work. Orange man bad, I know more about obeying the law than he does. He obstructed justice, that is clear in the summaries. For those who doubt that I was a deputy, just how the hell do you explain my spontaneously rocking my upper body back and forth when I’m sitting? I would be making some arrests if I saw people doing what I read in the section summaries! I have to stop now. This rocking back… Read more »

Commissar: He absolutely was not “exonerated”.

I don’t mean to step in here and stop this part of the discussion, but by definition, Trump could not have been “exonerated” as there was never a charge or conviction made.

Legal definition of “exonerate:”

“Exoneration refers to a court order that discharges a person from liability. In criminal context the term exonerate refers to a state where a person convicted of a crime is later proved to be innocent.”

source: https://definitions.uslegal.com/e/exoneration/

“To lift, remove the stain of being called out for blame, liability, or punishment. It is more that just freeing an accused person of the responsibility for a criminal or otherwise illegal or wrongful act. It is publicly stating that this accused should never have been accused in the first place.”

source: https://thelawdictionary.org/exonerate/

Once again, by law, one cannot be exonerated without first a charge or conviction. The President was not charged, much less convicted of anything. Therefore, he could not be “exonerated” within the legal definition.

If people are going to hang their hat on “he was not exonerated,” in the Mueller report, they should know what they are talking about and what the legal term means rather than espousing nonsense.

Someone must have told Nap to quit the obnoxious laugh he patented yrs ago. Sounded like a duck call from Phil Robertson, Inc. I laughed once, then it started to grate on me. He was trying to make a “Judge Nap” brand to market. The grey hair went when he started to beconfused with “Paulie” on Sopranos Then when Limbaugh started calling him the grown up “Eddie Munster” on his radio show that was the beginning of the downslope for him. FOX is being seen to slowly deteriorate in front of us all E.g. Shep Smith, Diesel Brazillius, whimpus Obummus Harfus and poor Neil Cavuto and the barage of millenial metrosexuals they parade on programs. OAN, is an excellent news staion and produces a lot more international news for intake while FOX is wasting hard time for example having their radiologist from NYU Langone (a well trained expert in breast disease) show us her family recipes. Really ??
Read the Decline of the Roman Empire. I hear the sons of the old Emperor are behind it. I watch FOX less and less, after being a real fan for a long time
