Many people, myself has been wondering why Judge Napolitano, normally a very conservative man would spend so much time bashing President Trump, who has remained true to a conservative agenda. Now, we may have found out the reason why.
President Trump has revealed that Napolitano asked him for a Supreme Court nomination and for a pardon for a judge friend of his, which was flatly rejected by the president. First of all, Napolitano is not qualified to sit on the nation’s highest court and he is a petty little man, using his Fox appearances to get even.
President Donald Trump said Saturday evening that Fox News Channel senior judicial analyst Andrew Napolitano asked to be appointed to the U.S. Supreme Court and for a pardon for a friend of the former superior court judge in New Jersey.
The president tweeted after his rally in Green Bay, Wisconsin, that Napolitano turned “very hostile” once his request to be nominated to the highest court in the land was rejected.
“Thank you to brilliant and highly respected attorney Alan Dershowitz for destroying the very dumb legal argument of “Judge” Andrew Napolitano,” wrote President Trump.

….Ever since Andrew came to my office to ask that I appoint him to the U.S. Supreme Court, and I said NO, he has been very hostile! Also asked for pardon for his friend. A good “pal” of low ratings Shepard Smith.

“Depending on how you look at them, there might be enough to prosecute, but the attorney general has decided it’s not enough to prosecute,” he said, per The Wrap. “But it did show a venal, amoral, deceptive Donald Trump, instructing his aides to lie and willing to help them do so. That’s not good in the president of the United States.”
Politico reported in March 2017 that the president met twice with Napolitano during the transition, once in December and another time in January. He is said to have told associates that the president said he was on a list of judges he was picking from for the Supreme Court. “He said, ‘Trump said I’m on the list,’” a source close to the former judge told Politico. “He’s been saying that since the transition.”
