Napolitano would be wise to ignore Trump. "When you wrestle with pigs you both get dirty and the pig likes it."
It's not unusual for people to make requests of a president, or any politician for that matter. There's no shame in it. I call my representatives from time to time regarding this or that piece of legislation and request action for or against. Many people do. Sometimes they say no, sometimes yes.
Trump considering Napolitano for SCOTUS is absurd on its face.

But Trump dangling the prospect of a SCOTUS appointment in front of Napolitano for the sole purpose of manipulating him, without having any intention of following through, makes perfect sense. Standard operating procedure for Trump.

The asking for a pardon for a friend is what got my attention. I believe Napolitano asked, and Trump dangled. That's what he does with supporters, he dangles. Strings 'em along. I can understand Napolitano being upset about it, too, and reacting the way he did.
I'll skip the Breitbart link but the quote you posted doesn't say anything about Napolitano asking Trump for a SCOTUS appointment. But Trump dangling an appointment in front of Napolitano in order to be able to manipulate him, that I can believe.
I thought the dems and liberals called it Faux News. Now suddenly it's fair and balanced?
Napolitano makes a lot of silly statements.
So does this mean Napolitano should be listened to, when he said that British intelligence wiretapped Trump Tower at the behest of former President Obama?
Was Napolitano's judgment and opinion not worth listening to then, or now, or does this guy spout ignorant stuff too often?
We are under attack when the Senate of the USA remains silent when a POS dictar wannabe is ignoring ALL rule of law, obstructs justuce and separation of power. The Congress needs to act and soon to expose all. This is how democracy dies incrementally.
The seriousness of issue cannot be overstated. The "new normal" should not be acceptance of a president who believes he is above the law. If we tolerate this now, we are at the end of road. The country, as we knew it, will eventually fail.

Trump is not a dictator, he is not Hitler, he is not trying to nuke the world, he is not trying to destroy America, his actions have shown that he is not exactly a friend of Russia let alone a puppet so what has he done but try to MAGA by enforcing existing laws?
The Left has piled so much garbage on Trump that it is hard to tell what to be outraged about and what is even a real problem.
It is funny how fast they have dropped Russia Russia Russia now that there is nothing to it and in a matter of hours after the Mueller report was released they were on to this new Obstruction of Justice thing.
I'm sure they will carry this new charge right up to the election in 2020 because they have nothing else.
Civics 101 is your friend. Impartial justice, laws which apply to everyone. Trump was operating as a private CEO when he asked Comey to "go easy on Flynn." He is acting as a rich guy wielding power when he publicly dangles pardons to all and sundry. In short he is behaving as a scofflaw.
He has sworn to uphold the laws of this country. He has zero respect for the laws. He cannot be trusted to ever do the "right" thing. Only what is expedient for him. Unethical, immoral, ignorant. He is unfit for office - and his corruption - which is impeachable - has been on display.

Indeed. No one - absolutely no one - leaves his orbit without getting dirty. Barr is next. So is Rosenstein. Sleep with dogs, get fleas.

Is Napolitano really that small, or is Trump once again projecting his own pettiness on Napolitano? Clearly, the latter. Trump is a very small man. Most intelligent people avoid getting in Trump's crosshairs - because no one is more relentless with insulting tweets, barbs, outright lies and baseless character defamation and slander than Trump. Trump places no value on his words - so he will say anything. Very curious that Napolitano would expose himself to this. There is no upside in it for him whatsoever.

Rosenstein is getting out with his reputation largely intact. He provided a firewall between Trump and the Mueller investigation that allowed the Mueller team to finish their job. Now that he's on the way out he's sweet talking Trump and Barr so he won't get trashed by Trump and his minions. He might not be a profile in courage but he's definitely a survivor. And I think history will look upon Rosenstein favorably. Now, Barr on the other hand...
