Judge Napolitano: Enough Evidence 'To Justify About Three or Four Articles of Impeachment'

[Formerly Once-Ler]

https://reason.com/video/judge-napolitano-enough-evidence-to-justify-about-three-or-four-articles-of-impeachment/

"The Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee have unearthed enough evidence, in my opinion, to justify about three or four articles of impeachment against the president," Fox News analyst Andrew Napolitano tells Reason in a wide-ranging interview.

The allegations are not "enough to convict [the president] of bribery" in a court of law, Napolitano says, "but it's enough to allege it for the purpose of impeachment" since impeachment is "not legal [but] political." The former New Jersey Superior Court judge adds that while he thinks impeachment is "absolutely constitutional," it is also "probably morally unjust." Besides bribery, he lays out four more likely articles that he thinks House Democrats will bring against Trump.

"The second charge will be high crimes and misdemeanors, election law violation," says Napolitano. "The third crime will be obstruction of justice. The fourth will be interference with a witness and the fifth may be lying under oath."

"The evidence of his impeachable behavior at this point, in my view, is overwhelming," he adds.

I never pictured you as a big Dershowitz fan. @mystery-ak

Judge Napalitano continues to be a Fox News contributor so I too question his judgement.

LOL...me either but I do agree with Dershowitz on this...

Napolitano is arguing that the allegations alone are enough to impeach.
Obviously this is ridiculous.
It follows the Democrat argument that there doesn't have to be a crime to impeach.
Essentially the anti-Trump crowd is saying, 'We are going to impeach no matter what the facts are.'
If they were honest, they would admit that they are going to impeach just to impeach.
To hell with everything else. We don't care if he is guilty or not.

I knew this Highway Patrol guy once, lived across the street from my 'rents.  He'd boast that he could write three tickets to anybody he saw just driving down the road, if he wanted to be a PITA. 

Nappy reminds me of that guy some days.

It's a non-sequitur.  He begins by claiming there is evidence to impeach, then says that evidence is not needed since allegations are enough.

I had all the facts I needed to impeach Trump with the Mueller Report and Trump's continual denial that Russia meddled and continues to meddle in our elections.  Trump's latest gift to Putin with an American surrender in Syria cemented my opinion further, and now that I've seen President Trump manipulate the Ukrainian victims of Putin, I'm long past the need for more reason to vote for impeachment.  So in a sense you are correct.  President Trump is guilty of so much that the remaining facts are not going to change my mind.  When Nancy Pelosi said "All roads lead to Putin," it struck a chord with what I saw when President Trump and Putin met in Helsinki, and what traitor tot meant when he emailed "If it's what you say it is, I love it."

The good news for your side is a sizable number of Trump supporters justifiably say "The rats and the media never gave Trump a chance.  They've always been out to get him, and I've seen too many breaking news bombshells that amounted to nothing to believe anything coming out now."  I understand that PoV, but perhaps you'll indulge me that you too are wearing blinders.

The good news for America is that everything will come out eventually, and America will survive 8 years of President Trump if it comes to that.  I am deeply consoled that President Trump is about to become 1 of 3 Presidents to ever be impeached, and the only first term President ever impeached, because President Trump deserves it.  I am consoled that many Americans stood up and told President Trump "No, you can't ask Russia and China to investigate your 2020 Presidential opponent on live television and get away with it," because America deserves it.  I wish it had been the GOP, I supported for almost 30 years, but it does give me hope that something is still left of the Constitution and our people.

@240B I'm sorry we see things differently on President Trump as I'm pretty sure we share many opinions on the Constitution, and America.  Eventually everything comes out.

Well, if these are all your "facts"      your POV make sense now.   

The Mueller Report wasn't about Russian interference in US elections.  That they did was a given .. by all parties.  Mueller was charged with proving candidate Trump colluded with the Russians.  Mueller and his investigation failed because Donald Trump and his campaign did not.

"I have great confidence in my intelligence people, but I will tell you that President Putin was extremely strong and powerful in his denial today." --Trump in Helsinki

I never got Trump's whole deviant, hyperbolic, carnival barker routine, but that performance he put on in Helsinki was beyond a tipping point for me. Watching an American president behave so obsequious, so meek and so fawning to Putin was something that I thought I would never see. If it had been a Democrat president, folks would have been justifiably apoplectic. Shouldn't adults be able to be consistent, regardless?

I totally agree.  It's been extremely engrossing and endlessly entertaining.  I don't know that I can wait for the impeachment to return Dec 3rd. 

[Bigun]

I hear tell that if you quit responding to the tripe trolls post they tend to go away.  I'm gonna test that theory.

Has Napolitano or Juan ever been right about anything? Asking for a friend.

Very true.  Why, it seemed like just a week or two ago you said you detest Trump, but do not support Impeachment and removal, but now it turns out you're been an Impeachment booster since last Spring!  Eventually lies told get found out.

I appreciate your outing yourself, it takes all the grueling guesswork out of it, trying to figure out if you are just being sarcastic.

Seeing Stone and Manafort rot in a jail, at least gives me some solace.

These were not "Gentleman Jims."  It's worth noting Manafort got time for events in his life that occurred years before he ever worked for Trump's campaign.

Notice... that... Nap fails to specifically mention what "evidence" there is, of course.   Funny how these morons never do.   You'd think if it was that ""overwhelming""... that he could have or would have thrown something out there.  But we all know the rats and their useful idiots don need no steenken proof or evidence.   Their lies are all they EVER need.

That thing Nap threw out there about the charge of bribery is just another leftist lie.  The leftists' favorite lie, in fact....but no such transaction took place.   No investigation of the Bidens was even started, much less completed.... there was no supposedly requested "announcement" of any investigation, and the temp hold on aid was released without any investigation or announcement.   So on that lie,  no ceegar.

Much like millions of Americans....I watched every single day of the so-called "inquiries" (rat name for witch trials and inquisition)... and saw no such evidence.  I saw a bunch of disgruntled bureaucrats with their noses out of joint that they weren't paid attention to and/or were reassigned or let go.  All they did have was lots and lots of butthurt feewings, assumptions, hearsay accusations and repeating of blatant bullshit. 

So impeach away, you mfers.   Bring it the hell on, already.   We're tired of the stalling.

@Cyber Liberty you have me confused with someone else.  I have supported impeachment since the Mueller Report came out.  I have detested Trump since before his election.  In fact I detested him so much that electing Hitlery in 2016 could not motivate me to vote.  That is how bad I saw him.  In the 3 years since my opinion of Trump fell lower and I've twice been banned a week for IMO expressing my disdain for the President.  Is there anybody else here who I fooled into thinking I didn't support impeachment last week?

Unfortunately, you let emotions (hate is emotional) overrule your judgment—judgment, I used to think you had before you let your “personal tragedy” of 63 million votes and an electoral college win for Trump affect the thinking part of your brain, with all due respect.

No, I don't have you confused with somebody else.  And, you got the bans because you were trolling members with your bullshit one-liners.  Now I know you were not being sarcastic, you just said you were to keep your account alive.
