"So, he's just trying to take the president down," host Maria Bartiromo snapped.

Fox News legal analyst Andrew Napolitano: ‘There is no question that Mueller’s target is Donald J. Trump’

“Bob Mueller is speaking to everybody who has interacted with the president,” the judicial analyst pointed out.

“So, he’s just trying to take the president down,” host Maria Bartiromo snapped.

“Yes!” Napolitano exclaimed. “There’s no question that their target is Donald J. Trump, the president of the United States. And the federal government has perfected the art of going after the high profile target by indicting people that interacted with him, below him on the totem pole.”

Fox always looks for the shortcut when attempting plant memes in viewers' minds.

If President Trump hasn't done anything wrong, he's got nothing to worry about. Isn't that the standard law-and-order line when some bit of draconian law aimed at vulnerable populations gets enacted? What part of "criminal wrongdoing" has Ms. Bartiromo confused?

Napolitano makes this sound nefarious:

'"And the federal government has perfected the art of going after the high profile target by indicting people that interacted with him, below him on the totem pole.”

When in fact it's standard prosecutorial procedure. Napolitano knows this. Shame on him for trying to throw shade on our Justice Department and rile up his viewers for points.

Don't you just love the irony of them crying about shit they cheered for in the past? (See Ken Starr vs. Bill Clinton)
