Andrew Napolitano: “Trump Will Soon Be Indicted”

Former Fox News host Andrew Napolitano writes:

It gives me no joy to write this piece. Even a cursory review of the redacted version of the affidavit submitted in support of the government’s application for a search warrant at the home of former President Trump reveals that he will soon be indicted by a federal grand jury for three crimes: Removing and concealing national defense information (NDI), giving NDI to those not legally entitled to possess it, and obstruction of justice by failing to return NDI to those who are legally entitled to retrieve it.

In a monumental irony, both Julian Assange, the WikiLeaks journalist who exposed American war crimes during the Afghanistan and Iraq wars, and Edward Snowden, the former NSA employee who exposed criminal mass government surveillance upon the American public, stand charged with the very same crimes that are likely to be brought against Mr. Trump. On both Mr. Assange and Mr. Snowden, Mr. Trump argued that they should be executed. Fortunately for all three, these statutes do not provide for capital punishment.

Read the full essay. Napolitano, who holds the all-time Fox News record with nearly 15,000 on-air appearances, is now a commentator for Newsmax.

“What will Mr. Trump say in his defense to taking national defense information? I cannot think of a legally viable one,” writes @judgenap. https://t.co/xXzl02KNwA
