Napolitano: Dems following rules...

[kadee79]

Fox News legal analyst Andrew Napolitano fact-checked Republicans Thursday, saying House Democrats are allowed to conduct “secret” witness depositions for the impeachment inquiry of President Trump thanks to rules established in 2015 by the then-Republican-controlled House.

“As frustrating as it may be to have these hearings going on behind closed doors,” Mr. Napolitano said on Fox News’ “Fox & Friends,” “the hearings for which Congressman [Adam] Schiff is presiding, they are consistent with the rules.”





“They can’t change the rules, they follow the rules and when were the rules written last? In January 2015. And who signed them? [Former House Speaker] John Boehner. And who enacted them? A Republican Congress.”

Mr. Napolitano said he’s “dying” to know what’s happening in the hearing, he added, “the rules say this level of inquiry, this initial level of inquiry, can be done in secret.”

But do the rules say the committees are to be denied pizza and Chick-Fil-A?  Because that's what I hear the intruders were bringing them?

I tell you what, Napolitano and Fox in general is just simply failing to adequately toady to the president lately.

Doesn't Napolitano know that Trump = good/legal/winning and anything the Dems do is nasty/vile/corrupt?

Trump's going to have to create his own fabulous network, All Trump, All the Time, Fabulously Winning, in order to adequately instruct his loyal minions in what to think.

moreover, this piece was RERUN in the Mooney Times!

when something is this widely accepted, the game is pretty much over.

Not to mention....

Many of the House Republicans who on Wednesday stormed a closed-door hearing that was part of the impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump would have been allowed to go inside if they wanted.
More than 30 Republicans forced their way into the hearing, delaying it for about five hours. They now face allegations of risking national security.
Twelve were already able to attend the hearing, as they sit on relevant committees, but they said they entered to protest its secrecy.

Proof they only did it to do something that would humor their Dear Leader, who keeps whining that the GOPers are not fighting hard enough for him against the Vile Dirty Dems.

We need to keep a copy of that group photo and tract all those GOP Trump appeasers once Trump succeeds in driving his presidency into the ground. I want to make sure everyone of them gets held accountable for enabling this clown car presidency.

I'm not advocating they be frog marched to the streets at dawn to be shot - I just want to make sure that Trump name hangs around their neck like an albatross forever, preventing them from getting elected to any office - not even dog catcher.  Let them go back to being whatever they were before they signed on to the crazy train.

I would like to make posters and t-shirts of those involved. This is an amazing unforced error and I think who ever can capitalize on it should.

Law and Order party moves onto Crime and Chaos.

I love Napolitano. He, generally, seems to be using his own knowledge and reasoning to decide his opinion. And he doesn't appear to be afraid of anyone. He doesn't have to pander to voters. His analysis is not from a place of hatred, or wanting to overturn an election. It is based on his knowledge of the law and the constitution. Maybe some on the left side have the same analysis and isn't motivated by partisan politics.

his days are probably numbered for that reason.

he is disrupting the echo.

that clearly can't be tolerated.

I don't know about that. Fox News is not as loyal as I thought they would be. Even if Fox does sack him, someone would pick him up. He would be great as the 'conservative voice' on CNN. He could do a podcast, he could write a book, start a website. He won't be silent, and he will continue to have fans.
