Newsmax Legal Analyst Andrew Napolitano Calls Out Trump Admin for Arresting Wisconsin Judge: They’re On a ‘Bit of a Jihad’

Newsmax legal analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano sharply criticized the Trump administration on Monday over the arrest of a sitting Wisconsin judge late last week.

“And I understand both sides, he did run away and they did have to chase him and the reason he ran away is because they didn’t go out the doorway to the courtroom from which he entered on the other side of which they were waiting for him he went out another way,” began Napolitano, referring to the migrant who authorities tried to arrest at a courthouse and now claim that Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan helped escape.

“But how did he know that. They’re alleging that the judge told him how to get out,” anchor Shaun Kraisman pushed back.

“Well, they’d have to have some proof for that,” Napolitano replied.

“Right,” added Kraisman as Natolitano continued, arguing that’s not the real issue at hand:

I don’t know this fellow speaks English, but i think they overreached by arresting her. If there is an issue. In a white-collar case with a public official, like there was here in New York with Mayor Adams. You don’t stop them on the street and put handcuffs on them. You say to his lawyer, we need to talk to you about whether or not you will voluntarily surrender because we’re about to charge you with a crime.

But because they’re on a bit of a jihad against judges, they decided to make an example out of this. I think this is the wrong case out of which to make and example. I think she has immunity. She can decide where a person leaves her courtroom from and what she says to that person, and she can’t be prosecuted for it. But we’ll see.

This will be resolved in a federal court. They persuaded a– I read the affidavit that the FBI agents submitted to the magistrate which justified the arrest warrant for her. There never was an arrest warrant from this fellow, but there obviously was an arrest warrant her and they believe they have enough evidence with which to convict her.
