Watch two Fox News hosts nail their own network for lying about Russia probe

Fox News host Shepard Smith and judicial analyst Andrew Napolitano just dropped a truth-bomb on their colleagues: "The president is in the line of fire."



As the unofficial propaganda arm of the Trump White House, Fox News has played a key role in the escalating smear campaign against special counsel Robert Mueller and his team of investigators.

For the most part, they get very little pushback from others in the pro-Trump echo chamber — but that changed on Tuesday, when Fox News judicial analyst Andrew Napolitano dropped a truth bomb on his colleagues who continue to claim “there’s no ‘there’ there.”

“Jared Kushner, Donald Trump Jr. — and the president is in the line of fire,”
Napolitano told Fox host Shepard Smith.

“It’s been widely said Trump’s lawyers believe this was illegal, this is a horrible thing happening,” Smith said about Mueller’s team obtaining the transition period documents. “Which is ridiculous.”

“Perfectly legal and done every day of the week,” Napolitano said of the procedures Mueller and his team used to obtain the documents.

“As a matter of course, to not get them would be derelict,
” Smith noted.

“Correct,” Napolitano replied. - Share Blue Media

Unlike Pirro, he wants to maintain, at least to a small degree, a bit of his legal bona fides. tableturner Dec 2017 #5

I'm sure Mueller's smoking gun will involve them somehow.

Obviously, he can only go so far with his Fox News BS nonsense. I think he wants to be able to look attorneys in the eye, something that crackpot Pirro will never be able to do. Don't misunderstand....I am only minimally defending him.....overall, I think he is full of garbage.
