Judge Nap: It Would Be ‘Catastrophic Politically’ If Trump Pleads the Fifth Before Mueller (Mediaite)

Judge Andrew Napolitano doesn’t think President Donald Trump will or should plead the 5th in the Russia probe.

Speaking with Fox Business’ Maria Bartiromo Monday, Judge Nap weighed in on Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani‘s assertion Sunday that in order for Trump to sit down with special counsel Robert Mueller, there is no be a clear “basis for the investigation.”

“It is inconceivable that the prosecutor would show his cards to politicians before he has played the cards,” Napolitano explained. “The prosecutors and the police and the FBI have every right to keep that stuff to themselves until they indict or exonerate. As for Rudy, in my view this is a very sophisticated way for him to say, ‘The president’s not sitting down with you.'”
