‘Fox & Friends’ Scrambles to Defend Trump From Their Own Legal Expert
Oooh. Fox's friends didn't want to hear that!

* BTW, "Judge" Napolitano was a state judge in NJ for all of one 7 year term, which ended 23 years ago. This was probably for the best, since while he was a judge this self-described "natural law" libertarian held that those random sobriety checkpoints the police sometimes use around, say, holiday weekends are unconstitutional. (The US Supreme Court disagrees.) He's also a self-described "contrarian" on Abraham Lincoln, and says that the civil war was really about tariffs.
He taught law in Brooklyn for awhile, but the school "let him go" (per Wikipedia) and now he's basically only a Faux News contributor (though he plays a "judge" on Fox).
“When the president says these things—basically, ‘I want you to use the Justice Department to help the Republican Party’—that is fodder for the cannon of Bob Mueller and the never-Trumpers,” said [Judge *] Napolitano. “It’s his using his own words out of his own mouth to help put him in a box of the use of government for political purposes.”
