Send Napolitano back to law school

Did Trump Commit a Crime 


Fox News legal analyst Andrew Napolitano argues that Trump's July 25 telephone conversation with Zelenskiy could be construed as bribery: "When the president asks a foreign government—the head of a foreign government—to do something to help his campaign, when the president adds a condition to the receipt of foreign funds that Congress didn't add, and when that condition benefits the president's campaign and not American foreign policy, the president has arguably walked into the area of bribery."
The make shit up judge.

There is no evidence anywhere that  this was deliberately an election stunt.  Hunting corruption is the presidents duty.  Maybe Trump should have distanced himself because of conflict of interest, certainly.  But he still had a duty to press foreign leaders on American corruption, it is his job.

Napolitano is not a respected legal expert, and this is a simple case, he fucks this stuff up to get clicks.
