Judge Napolitano Slams DOJ Over Gibson Guitar Raid: ‘Unjustifiable, Use Of Force Was Criminal’
Judge Andrew Napolitano told Megyn Kelly on America Live that the issue has resurfaced because “this administration has a penchant for seeking vengeance against those who want to speak out, and the owner of Gibson did so verbally by endorsing Republican candidates and financially by endorsing them as well.”
The judge said he’d like to know who in the Department of Justice gave the okay on the military-style raid. “The raid was unjustifiable. The use of force in the raid was criminal.”
After the government seized Gibson’s wood and effectively shut down their business for a month, the company now has $2.5 million in legal fees. Napolitano noted that Gibson still hasn’t received its wood back, nor have they been compensated for it as federal law requires of seized assets.
“It’s not the same as manufacturing methamphetamine,” he said. “If it was improperly imported, that is a civil wrong. It’s not a criminal one.”

Shouldn’t matter at all if this was a political targeting as to whether this is an illegal raid or not. That being said, the evidence that it was makes this all the more disgusting.
Even if there are congressional hearings, the federal government is so gigantic that there is no way it can be held accountable. And even if the Congress had the ability and desire to keep the executive in check, it would be like whack-a-mole; it seems like there is an endless tide of criminal acts coming out of the White House that it is impossible to keep track of it.
Whack-a-mole – no doubt. And the federal government will never limit itself no matter how many “hearings” they hold to placate us.
This criminal, tyrannical, socialist cabal must be brought down NOW!!!!! Monkeyboy is the ANTICHRIST. Sue the bastards and bring criminal charges in the state courts.
