IANAL, but based on what I've learned here and elsewhere, that estimate is probably fair for what he has in mind.

Peter Navarro has repeatedly lied about the conditions of his arrest

There's a shocker!

DC Judge cracks back at Peter Navarro:

"In the last 2 days, Defendant has twice communicated with the court by emailing the courtroom deputy, without copying government counsel. This is not proper. Defendant is not permitted to have ex-parte communications with the court"

Peter Navarro's arraignment in Contempt of Congress criminal case is set for Friday

In new court filing, Peter Navarro has complaints about day of his arrest, saying he "spent several hours in that jail cell out of communication w/ anyone & was surprised when just minutes before his appearance before a magistrate, he was told he could meet w/ a public defender"

Off Topic

The other major plan was proposed by President Reagan, who made tax reform the cornerstone of his second term, similar to the way he made tax reduction the cornerstone of his first term. Remember that? It was back when everybody was talking about supply-side economics, which was based on the Laffer Curve, which is this mysterious curve that became famous when an economist named Arthur Laffer drew it, at a party, on a napkin belonging to Rep. Jack Kemp. I'm not making this up.
...
What the Laffer Curve allegedly showed, when you held it in a certain light, was that if the government reduced everybody's taxes, it would make MORE MONEY, and the federal budget deficit would go away. I admit that, as I look back on it, this theory seems even stupider than throwing beverages into Boston Harbor, but, at the time, it had a very strong appeal. Kemp started showing his napkin around Washington, and soon many people were excited about supply-side economics. It was similar to those stories you sometimes see in the newspaper about how some Third World village gets all riled up when a peasant woman discovers a yam shaped exactly like the Virgin Mary.

JUST IN: DOJ says it does not have any video of Navarro’s arrest on the jetway of Reagan National Airport

Federal agents will now be required to wear body cameras when executing search warrants or making pre-planned arrests, according to a new policy outlined Monday by the Justice Department's second highest-ranking official.
