US v Peter Navarro

[Volkonski]

[Kendra]

Peter Navarro's defense attorney is openly questioning in court why Navarro is being prosecuted, yet Mark Meadows and Dan Scavino are not

Defense alleges feds have animosity toward Navarro

[Gregg]

Doesn't look like Pete is gonna be legally allowed to own firearms pretty soon.

[Suranis]

Some people just want to watch themselves burn.

[Gregg]

and I am so totally here for that.

Go ahead, Pete, jump.

[Foggy]

Some people just want to watch themselves burn.

I enjoy watching bad people burn so I'm down with that.

[roadscholar]

Simple retort to that allegation:

“Why yes, Mr.Navarro, you are correct. We do have animosity toward people we believe broke the laws of the United States.”

[Kendra]

Peter Navarro has rejected the government’s plea offer that he serve no more than 30 days in jail if he agrees to honor his subpoena. Let’s see what he says after his best pal Steve Bannon goes to trial next week.

[Foggy]

Hahaha, 30 days, he's looking at an unbelievable nightmare. Sadly (hahaha) he's just not tough enough for jail. They don't feed you great food in jail. The maid doesn't put a chocolate on your pillow at bedtime. They order you around and make you wear bad clothes. They treat you with no respect whatsoever. They're mean to you, and there isn't a goddamned thing you can do about it.

Jail isn't for spoiled babies, pal.

THIRTY DAYS.

I didn't originally post this link here, since in theory it wasn't about the Navarro contempt charges, but for anyone who might have missed this, I think Petey's might have more troubles coming down the pike. Unless maybe he didn't know what his aide was doing?

NEW YORK (AP) — The Justice Department filed suit Wednesday against Peter Navarro, claiming the former adviser to Donald Trump used an unofficial email account while working in the White House and wrongfully retained presidential records.

The lawsuit in federal court in Washington claims Navarro used at least one “non-official" email account — a ProtonMail account — to send and receive emails. The legal action comes just weeks after Navarro was indicted on criminal charges after refusing to cooperate with a congressional investigation into the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol.

The civil cases alleges that by using the unofficial email account, Navarro failed to turn over presidential records to the National Archives and Records Administration.

The Justice Department is asking a federal judge for an order “authorizing the recovery of any Presidential records in the possession, custody, and/or control of Mr. Navarro.” The suit also seeks unspecified damages.

“Mr. Navarro is wrongfully retaining Presidential records that are the property of the United States, and which constitute part of the permanent historical record of the prior administration,” the suit states.

I so hope one of the news stations can find some old video of Navarro complaining about Hillary's emails

So much cray-cray this week and it's only Wednesday. Lots of material of Acosta's block on CNN Saturday afternoon, but how will the prime time lineup on Fox spin all this stuff?

After all the Hilary screaming, you'd think these folks would have been more careful about things like email and records.

It feels like Karma has reached our sector on her millennial rounds. Here’s hoping she hangs around for a while.

The rules don't apply to them, only to everyone else.

Peter Navarro trashes Jared Kushner, saying he is lying about thyroid cancer in his book for sympathy, and cost Trump re-election: “Mismanagement of the campaign .. the pandemic .. the guy was just a one-man wrecking crew. His only qualification was he was the boss’s son-in-law.”

[Gregg]

Well, he hired you, so that tends to support your thesis.

[Foggy]

"Daddy? Jared says ..."

Back to jail 5pm

[Ben-Prime]

Any news yet?

[Kendra]

Not here, I haven't found anyone live tweeting, dangit.

Here's what Petey filed on August 4th now that he has counsel (44 pages). He had plenty of money for lawyers, it was his choice to not be represented. Lots of whining, "I didn't knows" & complaining. Sample footnote:

3 / Dr. Navarro, a layman who at the time was not represented by counsel, understood President
Trump’s instructions to be equivalent to an assertion of testimonial immunity. He advised the
Coronavirus Subcommittee that he could not comply with its subpoena and suggested that it
resolve the privilege issues directly with President Trump. The Subcommittee did not pursue the
matter, which confirmed to Dr. Navarro his understanding that, in the absence of agreement
between the Executive and Legislative branches, he was not obligated to comply with the
subpoena.

Peter Navarro claims that he has “circumstantial evidence” that Liz Cheney is going to try and steal her election tomorrow with fraudulent absentee ballots.
