Maybe I am the stupid one here. I got a resounding D in economics. I do not have his bona fides in this arcane art.

Contempt of Congress is some low-level felony, amirite? That fount of all information, Wikipedia, says that Contempt of Congress carries a minimum one-month sentence with a maximum of twelve months' incarceration. The fine is set at a minimum of $100 and a maximum of $100,000.

To my knowledge, he is a first-time offender. So, he is spending upwards of a half a mil to fight what would likely be a 30-day sentence and a modest fine (let's just say $25,000 for laughs) if he pleads guilty to one count. I would suspect that the DOJ would drop the second count if he pleads guilty.

He could serve his 30 days standing on his head, pony up the $25K, (plus minimal legal fees for a quick and dirty deal) and then make four times that through speaking engagements and television appearances and other means.

Why does he throw good money after bad? Cut your losses, pal. Move on with your life. Move to Merde-a-lago and play gin rummy with your former boss every day to try to win back some of your money when the speaking engagements dry up.

He could have just shown up, pleaded the Fifth for 2 hours and been done with it, for the cost of parking in DC. (Does Congress validate?)

NEW: A federal district court judge said Navarro must turn over 200-250 emails held in his private ProtonMail account to the National Archives, rejecting a series of arguments he made against returning the presidential records.

I have not finished reading but this bit from the judge's initial summary is interesting.
By email dated July 22, 2022, Dr. Navarro’s counsel represented that their application of the search parameters that NARA provided had generated over 1,700 documents. Thereafter, on July 25, 2022, Dr. Navarro’s counsel estimated that, based on their review of these documents, between 200 and 250 of these 1,700 documents were PRA records. Bosanko Decl. ¶ 9. By letter dated July 29, 2022, Dr. Navarro’s counsel refused to produce any PRA records to NARA absent a grant of immunity for the act of returning such records. Bosanko Decl. ¶ 9.
That makes me wonder, are some of the emails involving no-nos or possibly containing some sort of classified material?

Is Navarro stupid enough to risk contempt of court and getting locked up for denying access to the electronic documents?

Executive summary: "I said forthwith, and I didn't stutter. Pony up."

Navarro can now ask the D.C. Cir. for a stay (and even a stay pending a stay request), but I doubt the D.C. Cir. will indulge him (much).

If this is a case of first impression, as he contends in seeking a stay pending appeal, it is only because, unlike his many thousands of public servant predecessors, Dr. Navarro is apparently the first to steadfastly refuse to comply with the Act’s requirements and, in excuse, assert a series of meritless arguments to evade his statutory responsibilities.

In this episode, Navarro struggles with how criminal law works.

I'm guessing it's his way of saying that they are likely to be convicted, but have been offered some deals if they cooperate, which is standard practice, I hear.
