and then, in a violation of constitutional separation of powers, takes money allocated by Congress for that purpose to build his wall.

Napolitano also says Trump violated the separation dictum in sending troops to secure the
border, and in imposing his 25% tariff which the judge says is a federal income tax imposition.

After Congress refused Trump money to build his wall could Trump have planned to gain funding for another purpose while
all the while planning to use some of it to build his wall. If so wouldn't that be sorta like planning to defraud Congress?

Back to Napolitano. I didn't know he had become critical of Trump since the Mueller report.

Fox News’ Andrew Napolitano Loses Airtime But No Clout Since Turning on Trump

“He is a completely beloved figure in the building,” says one network insider

President Trump is known to turn to Fox News for a sympathetic ear from the networks hosts and pundits — who usually oblige him. In recent months, however, one of his longtime favorites — Andrew Napolitano, a former New Jersey Superior Court judge — has flipped the script, haranguing the president regularly over what he calls “immoral” and “condemnable” conduct detailed in the Mueller Report.

Napolitano’s airtime has slipped in recent months — he had 123 appearances on Fox News and Fox Business for the last eight weeks, an 18 percent drop from the same period last year (when he appeared 150 times), according to figures obtained by TheWrap. But his resistance pivot has also coincided with an expanding portfolio at Fox News and the streaming service, Fox Nation, that launched last November.

And multiple individuals at Fox News say that Napolitano, far from becoming an outcast on the Trump-friendly channel, has never been more firmly entrenched. “He is a completely beloved figure in the building. He is a mentor for young people. He has forged tremendously close relationships with people,” one network insider told TheWrap. “Judge Napolitano will be around a lot longer than Donald Trump will be.”

A second network insider added, “Judge Nap is extremely solid at Fox News.”

Though one Napolitano friend said that just 18 months ago he was irritated that his bosses did not give him his own show — something the judge denied through a spokesperson — the landscape since has changed in the last year. (Both Napolitano and a Fox News rep otherwise declined to comment for this story; the network also did not dispute the figures about his on-air appearances.)

While Napolitano still doesn’t have a regular gig on Fox’s two cable news networks, he has hosted “Liberty File .. https://nation.foxnews.com/liberty-file/ ” on Fox Nation four days a week since the streamer launched last November. And he continues to deliver opinion sermons on a FoxNews.com-hosted digital show, “Judge Napolitano’s Chambers .. https://video.foxnews.com/playlist/digital-originals-judge-napolitanos-chambers/ .”

But those once little-noticed monologues have taken on new buzz with Napolitano’s tough anti-Trump rhetoric. After the Mueller report was dropped last month, Napolitano said the special counsel’s revelations “might be enough to prosecute” Trump .. https://www.thewrap.com/fox-news-andrew-napolitano-says-mueller-report-might-be-enough-to-prosecute-trump/ .. for obstruction of justice. Though Attorney General William Barr decided against indictment, Napolitano followed up days later .. https://www.thewrap.com/fox-news-andrew-napolitano-calls-trump-behavior-immoral-criminal-defenseless-and-condemnable/ .. by calling Trump’s behavior “immoral,” “criminal,” “defenseless” and “condemnable.”

[Well, well, that's a real surprise.]

When White House adviser Jared Kushner dismissed Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election as a “couple of Facebook ads,” the judge called him out on Fox Business as “disingenuous and deceptive.”
