Fox's Napolitano: McCabe firing could be seen as obstruction of justice

[The Barbarian]

Fox New’s Judge Andrew Napolitano warned Monday that Attorney General Jeff Sessions's firing on Friday of former deputy FBI director Andrew McCabe could be seen as “obstruction of justice.”

Napolitano said on Fox News's "America's Newsroom" Monday that he viewed McCabe’s firing as “vindictive” and “reckless.”

“Andrew McCabe is more likely than not to be a witness against the attorney general’s boss, the president of the United States,” Napolitano said. “I think that firing him in that environment could very well be determined to diminish his effectiveness as a witness. What’s that called? Obstruction of justice.”

“I don’t know if Bob Mueller wants to go there, but that’s the argument,” he added, referring to special counsel Robert Mueller.

Sessions fired McCabe on Friday night, saying that the former FBI official had made an unauthorized disclosure to the media and wasn’t fully forthcoming with investigators.

McCabe said he was fired as part of an effort to undermine Mueller’s probe into Russia's election interference, in which he is likely to be a witness.

McCabe led the FBI in the weeks after President Trump’s firing of former FBI Director James Comey, a reported area of interest in Mueller’s probe.

Napolitano also blasted Trump’s lawyer John Dowd for saying in a statement that he wanted Mueller's probe to be shut down.

“Going on television, saying, ‘I pray that you shut down shop,’ is not the way a lawyer for an innocent defendant conveys the message on TV,” Napolitano said.

Content is worth reading.
But how many threads do we need on McCabe?

This could be the critical obstruction that brings it all down. It's not just liberals who are seeing it that way.

This wasn't the brightest thing Trump has ever done. And he's done a lot of dumb things in his time.

 

[Tambora]

So we need to have at least 3 threads on him?

Ahhh, never-mind.
Ain't my site.
Let 'er rip!

Fox's Napolitano: McCabe firing could be seen as obstruction of justice

The firing of FBI Director set the stage for the Mueller investigation, so what has President "David Dennison" learned over the past year in the White House other than invent aliases when dealing with porn stars - in his infinite wisdom, he has now presided over the dismissal of the Assistant FBI Director!

If this President can't control the facts, his "fall-back" strategy is to fire/demonize the factfinders!

No, the internal affairs of the FBI recommended McCabe's firing. :nono:

We actually don't know that. For some reason, Trump is refusing to release the report.

I think I know why. Point is, as Napolitano says, Trump is acting like a guilty party.

“Going on television, saying, ‘I pray that you shut down shop,’ is not the way a lawyer for an innocent defendant conveys the message on TV,” Napolitano said.
