Judge Andrew Napolitano: Indictment of filmmakers a "political hit job"

Judge Andrew Napolitano called the Texas grand jury indictment of the filmmakers who exposed Planned Parenthood’s selling of baby parts through a series of undercover videos a “political hit job.”

Fox News senior judicial analyst, Napolitano, appearing on “ The Kelly File” Monday, said this is a case where “a political prosecutor has injected herself in a very serious issue.”

The allegations against the Houston Planned Parenthood were related to a series of undercover videos shot by the Center for Medical Progress. Sandra Merritt, a center employee, and founder David Daleiden were indicted on felony charges for tampering with a government record, according to Fox. Another charge of prohibition of the purchase and sale of human organs was brought against Daleiden, but not against Planned Parenthood.

The prosecutor, Napolitano explained, was asked to investigate the videos and whether or not they “were real.” But instead, she presented the case to the grand jury “not charging Planned Parenthood with selling body parts, but charging the journalists who were testing Planned Parenthood with participating in an actual conspiracy to sell body parts,” said Napolitano, who believed charging the filmmakers made no sense.

“These are what we call ‘crimes of intent,'” he said. “You have to intend to commit the crime. You can’t just utter the words.”

“Absolutely this is a political hit job,” he added.

...Six people involved in the armed occupation of a Central Oregon wildlife refuge were arrested after a traffic stop during which shots were fired. Another unnamed individual was killed during the confrontation, the FBI and Oregon State Police announced Tuesday.

Authorities said that shots were exchanged during a traffic stop along Highway 395 around 4:25 p.m. local time. Police were carrying out a federal probable cause arrest for a number of people involved in the armed standoff at the Malheur Wildlife Refuge, which has been occupied since Jan. 2.

Five people were arrested at that time, including occupation leaders Ammon and Ryan Bundy. One person was killed during the exchange of gunfire; police said information about that person will not be released until they can be identified by the medical examiner’s office. Another of the arrested individuals was injured and taken to a local hospital, but has since been arrested and taken into custody.

A sixth person involved in the occupation, Joseph Donald O’Shaughnessy of Cottonwood, Arizona, was arrested about an hour and a half later.

All of people arrested face federal felony charges for impeding federal officers.

In addition to O’Shaughnessy and the Bundy brothers, the sons of controversial Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy, the FBI statement said that Brian Cavalier, Shawna Cox and Ryan Waylen Payne were arrested...
