Despite Fox News Hype, Fox's Senior Judicial Analyst Is “Convinced Comey Jumped The Gun” On Clinton's Emails

Despite the initial hype from Fox News, media figures from across the political spectrum have criticized Comey’s letter to Congress. On October 28, Napolitano warned that “people should not jump to conclusions that Mrs. Clinton is being reinvestigated.” Napolitano again criticized hype around the emails explaining he is “convinced that Director Comey jumped the gun” adding that Comey had “absolutely no duty, obligation, or right for him to” send the letter to Congress, and it “violates due process.” From the November 2 edition of Fox News’ Shepard Smith Reporting:
