Fox News personality Judge Andrew Napolitano said the firing of former top FBI official Andrew McCabe could be seen as an attempt to obstruct justice.
“Andrew McCabe is more likely than not to be a witness against the attorney general’s boss, the president of the United States,” Napolitano said, referring to special counsel Robert Mueller’s ongoing Russia investigation. “I think that firing him in that environment could very well be interpreted as an effort to diminish his effectiveness as a witness. What’s that called? Obstruction of justice.”
Napolitano has referred to Trump as a “friend” and claimed to have had “numerous engagements with him on the telephone and in person.”
Attorney General Jeff Sessions fired McCabe on Friday for having “made an unauthorized disclosure to the news media and lacked candor — including under oath — on multiple occasions.”
