Never watched Napolitano before — assumed he would be Fox propagandist. During this 28 min. interview he definitely wasn’t. Well worth watching.
Charges according to Napolitano
- "act of bribery“
- “high crimes and misdemeanors — election law violation”
- “obstruction of justice”
- “interference with a witness”
- “lying under oath”
“The evidence of his impeachable behavior at this point, in my view, is overwhelming,” he said in an interview on the libertarian Reason TV. Napolitano also noted that Trump “hasn’t presented a defense, and I don’t know if he plans to.”
Despite that, Napolitano said he “can’t imagine [Trump] will be removed from office” by the Republican-controlled Senate after a trial.

Napolitano is “withholding judgement until a defense is presented” until he hears “from people who refused to testify” — Mile Pence, Mike Pompeo, Mick Mulvaney and Trump.
