NEW YORK (AP) — Fox News Channel has pulled legal analyst Andrew Napolitano from the air after disavowing his on-air claim that British intelligence officials had helped former President Barack Obama spy on Donald Trump.
A person with knowledge of the situation who spoke on condition of anonymity because it was a personnel matter said Napolitano has been benched and won’t be appearing on the air in the near future. Fox had no immediate comment Monday.
Napolitano’s report last week on “Fox & Friends,” saying he had three intelligence sources who said Obama went “outside the chain of command” to watch Trump, provoked an international incident. Britain dismissed the report as “nonsense” after White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer quoted it in a briefing, part of the administration’s continued defense of Trump’s unproven contention that Obama had wiretapped him at Trump Tower during the 2016 presidential campaign.
FBI Director James Comey, testifying before Congress on Monday, became the latest official to state that no evidence has been found to support Trump’s charge.
The president, when asked about the incident, said that “all we did was quote a certain very talented legal mind who was the one responsible for saying that on television. I didn’t make an opinion on it. You shouldn’t be talking to me. You should be talking to Fox.”
Fox’s Shepard Smith, on the air Friday afternoon, quickly stepped the network away from Napolitano’s claim.
“Fox News knows of no evidence of any kind that the now-president of the United States was surveilled at any time, in any way,” Smith said.
Napolitano is a senior judicial analyst who has worked at Fox News Channel since 1998, and frequently comments on the Fox Business Network. He was a New Jersey Superior Court judge from 1987 to 1995.
Napolitano’s removal from the air was first reported in the Los Angeles Times.

So when the Propaganda Ministry singles out an individual’s comments and removes those ideas from public view, it MUST be the truth! For months the independent media has reported that MI-6 did this at the bequest of the Democrat regime…thusly the invention of the term “Fake News”. Then came the invention of the Russian Hacking story…again, another farce…and the end-game of it all is to distract the people away from Hillary and her atrocities.
“FBI Director James Comey, testifying before Congress on Monday, became the latest official to state that no evidence has been found to support Trump’s charge.”
Wow, will Trump fire COMMIE?
NOPE. THEY ALL BELONG TO THE SAME FAMILY……

“As the World Spins”, that exciting political new political soap opera, has topped the charts.
With exciting new story lines like naughty judges, collusion, bribery, sex tapes, devil worship, murder and the like, it’s a satire on current affairs.
“Gimmie some more real fake news. How does it go? If it’s “fake news”, it’s real, if it’s passed off as real news, it’s fake.
For part-time patriots, it certainly makes it difficult to discern truth from falsehoods.
So, those who talk the talk but don’t walk the walk are easy targets for exploitation.
“Gimmie a gun, I’ll kill Arabs for joos.” “Humm, why did I sign up for this? Hummmmmmmmmm?”
“If it weren’t for my lackluster edumacation, I might have been smart enough not to bend over and acquiesce to the demands of our exploiters.” It’s all by design. Just smart enough to pull the trigger but too stupid to understand why.
Nailed it, Millard!
Perfect, just Perfect. Nicely put, Millard.
Carlin explained something similar about the American worker…”smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork, but not smart enough to figure out how badly they’re getting f*cked by the system….”
Damn straight, Millard. Damn straight.
because he spoke the truth .. nuff said!
and this –>” Just smart enough to pull the trigger but too stupid to understand why.” ( thank you Millard) this is every man or woman that ever “fought in a war” for the oligarchs
