'The roadblocks were put there by the president of the United States,' former judge Andrew Napolitano said. 'The roadblocks are called obstruction of justice.'

Fox News senior judicial expert Andrew Napolitano believes that Special Counsel Robert Mueller"dropped the ball" by failing to charge President Donald Trump with a crime, pointing out that"no one is above the law."

"During the course of his investigation, and we all know this, [Mueller] came upon some roadblocks," Napolitano explained."And the roadblocks were put there by the president of the United States. [Mueller] asked for permission to investigate the roadblocks. The roadblocks are called obstruction of justice."

Pointing out that former Presidents Richard Nixon and Bill Clinton both faced votes of impeachment for obstruction of justice, Napolitano said that"we know" that the allegations against Trump are an impeachable offense. He then argued that the special counsel should have stated plainly that the president had obstructed justice, instead of choosing to avoid making such a determination.

Republicans think they are above the law in general and nothing will change till we change the senate..

More spin, pitiful!

The is nothing to indict on. Move on with your life. Instead focus on those who spied on then candidate Trump, or those who sold uranium to Russia in xchange x 'donations', or those who played 'fast and furious'. Those were real crimes. Should be fully punishable.

Clueless hack

I’ll will side with William Barr over a moron on FOX news!

This pseudo legal analyst must not know that a president cannot be indicted.

Hey tell the judge that what crime did he do to be indicted, he is a butt hurt cry baby that didn’t get the job

Can someone understand it fully well, if so, I'd like to know, thanks

CrystalRose126 So fox & friends are willing to give Mueller a mulligan? Right?

Utter B.S. and you kmow it ! Just stop this ridiculous CRAP !

Nobody can definitively define a crime, yet everyone wants to indict him.

What about deep state, are they above the law.

Mueller said there would be no more arrested

My first response of reading this about Fox is Fake News. I agree Mueller dropped the ball. I can't believe that Fox News said it.

After Mueller’s report, it’s a challenge for Senate and Congress to do what’s called far after seeing stooge legal stooge Barr’s conduct

At the end of the day he’s Republican?

Who is this Fox news legal analyst, questionable lightweight,?

Probably true, although there's no way Barr wouldn't have overrode his request for an indictment and fired him anyway.

He needs to testify in public no matter what

Mueller wasted millions and should have shut the investigation down 2 years ago when he found no collusion.

Trump’s fav excuse for his critics has been that all these people are sour over not getting a job in his awful administration. George Conway, Judge Napolitano, even Mueller apparently wanted a job. He’s not even original.

If the report contained Anything that damning, he would not have dropped the ball. If he can't indict him from his own damn official lengthy investigation, no one can. Impeachment is a pipe dream designed to distract.

Probably right, but what's done is done.

A person with a strong sense of personal integrity will speak up and speak out when it is important to do so. And now is the time. Thank you.

Two seconds later: FOX FIRES LEGAL ANALYST

Mueller took his cash 💰 and he is simply ready to disappear quietly into the sunset 🌅 without quarrels with Trump and his voters. Dems voters and others don’t matter to him.

Napolitano’s the ONLY analyst at Fox News that has sour grapes over realDonaldTrump. Napolitano wanted realDonaldTrump to nominate him to SCOTUS & Trump went with a MUCH better candidate. So now, every word out of Napolitano’s mouth is negative.

Nothing to indict him on. You seriously want to indict him on obstruction of a concluded investigation designed 2 frame him dreamt up by crazy political opponents & foreign agents? Good luck. Go for impeachment if you have the guts. Doubt you do & it would fail spectacularly

Mueller stated on TV that it was 'unconstitutional'. It's not. Surprised he would make such a claim.

Well that whole lack of evidence was causing him a problem.

FOR WHAT

No shit.

Napalonta is compromised .

Well Hillary is above the law and Muellar would of indicted if he had evidence 2nd Barr and Rosenstein concluded there was no obstruction. Enough is enough. They said collusion for 3 years

That was then, this is now. Pelosi is the one now dropping the ball.

Fox Judge calls roadblocks obstruction? Didn't Barr say lying is not a crime or considered obstruction if the president is involved?

Baloney. Mueller’s job is to investigate not indict. This guy’s a legal bullshitter.

Yup. Just like Obama's mistake in not firing both barrels about Russian interference in our elections, politics be damned. If a POTUS or even this FakePOTUS is above the law, then we all are.
