Remember Fox News‘ Andrew Napolitano and his unexpected bout of honest evaluation? A few days ago he let loose another blast, this time on Attorney General William Barr:
Fox analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano on Wednesday let loose on Attorney General Bill Barr and his handling of the Russia probe in a fiery Fox News op-ed.
“It is clear that Barr’s four-page letter, about which Mueller complained to Barr and some of Mueller’s team complained to the media, was a foolish attempt to sanitize the Mueller report,” Napolitano wrote. “It was misleading, disingenuous and deceptive.”
“Also, because Barr knew that all or nearly all of the Mueller report would soon enter the public domain, it was dumb and insulting,” he continued.
The judge also addressed the attorney general denying to the House Appropriations Committee that he knew of any criticisms from special counsel Robert Mueller’s team about his characterization of Mueller’s findings, which later turned out to be untrue.
“Was Barr’s testimony before Congress deceptive?” Napolitano asked. “In a word: Yes.” [TPM]
If you’re a Fox News viewer, this has to be a little confusing. After all, Mr. Napolitano plays for the conservative team, so this can’t make much sense in the era of the political cult.
I’ll be interested – fascinated – to see if the former Judge continues with his discordant tune.
