Andrew Napolitano Schools Fox NEWS:
Republicans Are Protesting Own Impeachment Rules!!!!!
California Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff is “following the rules” passed by the GOP with closed-door impeachment questioning, the legal analyst said.
It was January 2015 and Republican John Boehner was the speaker of the House when the rules were written, he noted. “Who enacted them? A Republican majority.”
The “Fox & Friends” panel was all set Thursday to scorch the Democrats for closed-door questioning in the impeachment investigation — until Fox’s own legal analyst noted that the setup was approved by Republicans.
Former judge Andrew Napolitano explained that House Republicans were protesting their own rules for impeachment investigations when they stormed the closed-door session on Wednesday. The questioning took place in a secure room to protect possible classified information.
The “initial level of inquiry” in an impeachment probe can be conducted “in secret,” as sanctioned in rules passed by the GOP, Napolitano noted.
“I read the House rules, and as frustrating as it may be to have these hearings going on behind closed doors, the hearings for which Congressman [Adam] Schiff is presiding, they are consistent with the rules,” Napolitano said.
It was January 2015 and Republican John Boehner was the speaker of the House when the rules were written, he noted. “Who enacted them? A Republican majority.”
Napolitano compared the current questioning to what goes on during a grand jury investigation, which is never public, even though a subsequent trial is.
