Fox News host Shep Smith discussed the developments with the networks legal analyst Andrew Napolitano, who said Trump appears to be in deep trouble.
We learned that the federal prosecutors here in New York City, not Bob Mueller and his team in Washington D.C., career prosecutors have evidence that the president of the United States committed a felony by ordering and paying Michael Cohen to break the law, he said. How do we know that? They told that to a federal judge and under the rules, they cant tell that to a federal judge unless they have the evidence.
***
The U.S. Attorney in Manhattan, a Donald Trump appointee taking a page from Jeff Sessions book, recused himself, leaving this case in the hands of the full-time career professional prosecutors, he said. Theyre the ones that prosecuted Michael Cohen, told the federal judge that Donald Trump orchestrated these unlawful payments.

The felony is paying Michael Cohen to commit a felony. Its pretty basic, he said, explaining how hiring someone to commit a crime makes you guilty of that crime. Youre liable, criminally liable for the commission of that crime. Thats what the prosecutors told the federal judge.

A. This was on Shep Smith's show. He's the only one who ever shows even a HINT of honesty, and...
B. That Napolitano is never invited to Fox & Friends in the morning anymore. Fux & Friends has now moved away from putting out propaganda, to devoting 100% of its content to Trump's mental health. It's basically the equivalent of everybody being forbidden to mention 'the American colonies' to nutty King George III, because it would cause him to have a mental breakdown.
