Fox News judicial analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano has been suspended from the network due to his comments centered around President Donald Trump’s wiretapping claims.

Napolitano is standing by his comments however, saying he “reported what the sources told me, reported it accurately and I do believe the substance of what they told me.”

Fox News’ Judge Napolitano has been benched indefinitely over wiretapping claims

I would have to side on the Judge .. .. your source's have to be fake these day to keep your job ...

Funny I read this. I remember he led us astray with clinton's wiretaps and I told somebody else on a forum yesterday after this wiretapping stuff without any credible sources that napolitano now cannot be taken seriously, so in fact I'm happy to see fox give him a slap on the wrist (or more). He claimed to have three "sources", that nobody else has. There's no real indication these sources exist in anything but his head. Who else has them, why has nobody stepped forward, how did he manage to find three sources?

I think he is telling the truth and doing so he is stepping on the toes of some very powerful people .. And their ability to spy on anyone for their own benefit . Think of the Jason Bourne movies . and the ability to collect data... Very possible

It's safe to assume that before Fox did this they spoke to him and didn't find his answer satisfactory. Journalists have long used reliable but anonymous sources. If they are unwilling to stand by him, they may have smelled BS.

During a Tuesday morning appearance on Fox News’ “Fox and Friends,” Napolitano, a former New Jersey Superior Court judge, made the bombshell claim that “three intelligence sources” told the network that Obama used GCHQ, a British intel agency, to spy on the Trump campaign in order to avoid any record of the alleged wiretapping.

“Three intelligence sources have informed Fox News that President Obama went outside the chain of command. He didn’t use the NSA, he didn’t use the CIA, he didn’t use the FBI and he didn’t use the Department of Justice,”


The controversy began with a tweet from Trump which stated that the Obama administration had him wiretapped. This lead to Napolitano claiming that three “intelligence sources” had told Fox News that President Barack Obama had bypassed using any U.S. security agencies by going to British intelligence agencies, so there would be no fingerprints.


This isn't Napalitano making up bullshit stories. It was fed to him by FOX.

But is this more napolitano said that fox was told this? I can't believe fox received this from three sources, nap reported it, and then they send him to his corner. Honestly I think he made all this up. That he got three sources and nobody else can seem to get a single source also seems incredible.

I don't have the article but I'm almost positive he pulled the stuff during clinton's emails, with "sources" telling him things about how she was sure to have charges pressed and things of this nature.

Personally, I think FOX made it up , and when they got called on it , they threw Napolitano under the bus.

I Have no proof of that at all, But Napolitano isn't going to intentionally lie on TV. He's a judge , Hes not that stupid.
His job at Fox is to interpret the law for the people at home. not make shit up . Its outside of his character.

Fox got caught with their hand in the cookie jar, then said it wasn't me.

That's the way I see it.

The truth is always simple and easy to understand, yet getting there has always been a complicated and arduous path which includes many of our fellow humans with motives dark and deep. Thank you Judge.

He's a smart guy and he's not going to make that leap without something substantial to back it up. He's as legitimate and trustworthy as anyone in the news business. More so than most.

You have to hand it to the Machiavellian in Chief. Trump tweets that Obama is wiretapping. Napolitano publically states that it's true and claims he has sources, in order to give Trump some political cover.

When the heat starts to get too hot for Trump over the matter, Trump quotes Napolitano and FOX News. FOX disavows the story and throws Napolitano under the bus.

Opinionators like Judge Napolitano were hired by FOX News to offer integrity and legitimacy to their content being he was a federal judge.Now Napolitano has nothing to offer them.

If the other FOX opinonatators have learned anything, they won't try to add fuel to the President's fiery tweets.

Machiavelli would be proud.
