President Donald Trump on Saturday sniped at Fox News senior judicial analyst Andrew Napolitano for laying into him over obstruction of justice. POTUS said that the Fox News figure asked him for a seat on the U.S. Supreme Court and to pardon a friend. Let’s be perfectly clear about what’s happening here: Our Commander-in-Chief is trying to redirect public discussion because a perceived enemy touched on a sensitive topic.
The Mueller Report came out, so Napolitano took a look at its findings. He argued that Attorney General William Barr worked with a faulty, narrow definition of obstruction.
“Mueller knew Barr would block an indictment of Trump because Barr has a personal view of obstruction at odds with the statute itself,†he wrote in a new opinion piece.
Napolitano ended his article like this:
The president’s job is to enforce federal law. If he had ordered its violation to save innocent life or preserve human freedom, he would have a moral defense. But ordering obstruction to save himself from the consequences of his own behavior is unlawful, defenseless and condemnable.
