The FBI on Friday arrested Trump’s advisor Dr. Peter Navarro at a DC-area airport.
Navarro was on his way to Nashville when the Stasi took him into custody in a surprise ambush.
According to media reports, Navarro told the judge that he doesn’t need a lawyer because he wants to represent himself.
CNN reported:
A federal grand jury has indicted former Trump White House adviser Peter Navarro for contempt of Congress after he refused to cooperate in the House January 6 committee’s investigation.
During a court appearance in Washington, DC, on Friday, Navarro said that he still wants to represent himself without a lawyer and accused prosecutors of using “hardball” tactics by arresting him at an airport and not allowing him to make a phone call.
Navarro said he was arrested at a DC-area airport Friday on his way to Nashville.
At Friday’s court appearance, Judge Zia Faruqui expressed concern about allowing Navarro to represent himself. “I think it’s important that you have counsel,” the judge told him.
Navarro said he was OK with the judge appointing counsel “for today” and that he sent prosecutors an email with an attorney contact as they work this out. Navarro, who has a Ph.D in economics, is not an attorney.
“The arraignment should be postponed for a number of reasons,” Navarro added, requesting that his civil lawsuit against the House January 6 committee go forward before any criminal proceedings.

No reason to spend money on DC lawyers in this corrupt system run by demons.
biden is using “law” enforcement to get his political enemies. For that he should be impeached.
Every American in 2022 has contempt for Congress.
***********
What does it do other than spend other peoples’ money?
He should absolutely be impeached but the GOP congress will never do it. They just want the seats, not the responsibilities and duties that go along with it.
was the CNN camera waiting at the airport to video the arrest?
The entire Biden administration is a Deepstate NO Justice system.
Judge Zia Faruqui is a member of the Muslim Bar Association.
Let that sink in.
Garland is doing this.
Note that the legions of Democrats who were held in contempt were NEVER arrested - Eric Holder being the principle one.
And the FBI; there was no call for him to be restrained like that.
I now have even more contempt for the FBI than I do for Congress. I’m old enough to remember when we thought the FBI was full of heroes.
The DNC is using “law” enforcement to remove their political enemies. For that they should be imprisoned.
Going to represent himself?! Seriously? Maybe this guy really is an idiot.
Actually, he doesn’t need a lawyer. Navarro is a very smart guy. If he hired an attorney, that attorney. Would bleed him dry just like General Flynn’s lawyer did.
Flynn’s lawyers were actually working for the government. They could have had the charge against him dropped within a month if they acted in his interest.
When a judge really tries to get you to hire an attorney, they aren’t doing it for your benefit, especially if you are a smart guy. No doubt in my mind that Navarro has already studied the laws and the case law, and is well-equipped to demand discovery. That being the case, a trial isn’t going to go to trial until we’ll after the November elections.
Even is he does appear before the January 6 committee, he can refuse to answer all questions. He can all demand to record the questioning and record the questioning.
They’d love to do the same to Trump. Do they have the balls?
Trash. They must be disbanded because they have become a political secret police. And they are cowards, most of them never make an actual physical arrest in their entire career.
Since 2012, the FBI has had an office in the Perkins Coie Washington D.C. law firm’s office. Thus it is no surprise the FBI has employed Gestapo tactics against Trump supporters.
DNC and Clinton attorney Michael Sussman who kick started the FBI investigation into the salacious and untrue “Russian Alfa Bank collusion with Donald J. Trump,” runs the office.
The Perkins Coie law firm represents the Democrat Party and represented the Hillary Clinton campaign.
These are two standards of Justice in the United States.
I’m sure that Sean Hannity got an erection when heard of the “brave” actions of his precious “Not So Special Agents.”
Defund and disband the Eff Bee Eye. Jack booted thugs.
Why did you have to bring up Sean Hannity? Blood pressure is already elevated and just reading the assholes name my head’s gonna explode.
The Bonzo Gestapo is on a roll. The bass turds are bound and determined to put PRESIDENT Trump in jail before he gets another chance to put their asses in jail.
When are the pigs going to go after Sussmann for lying to them or don’t they GAS.
