"Judge Andrew Napolitano blasted President Trump's legal team during an appearance on Fox News Monday, arguing it was showing a “sophomoric view of the law" and that it was not serving the president well.
The senior judicial analyst for Fox News called the January memo from Trump’s legal team to special counsel Robert Mueller a "disgrace" and "very harmful" to the president's case.
He also faulted the leaking of the letter, saying he did not understand why the president's team would want it public given it had cited the wrong statute in one case and incorrectly interpreted an opinion in another.
“I don’t know how it got out,” Napolitano said. “I don’t know why the White House would have leaked it, as has been suggested, because it shows a sophomoric view of the law.”
I know why the WH leaked it. They don't give a rat's ass whether the contents of the letter are correct or even respectable from a legal perspective. They care about getting the ridiculous conclusions of the letter in the public eye. That's it. Truth or accuracy be damned. Trump is mixing and exploiting, to great effect, a potent brew of personal shamelessness and gullibility among the Republican base.
