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.

He will likely be indicted. If so, I guess it will be the Georgia case. That seems the most likely what with the Grand Jury working there now.
Thanks Liz. You’re such a patriot
Mine explodes every time Hannity says “99% of the agents are good.”
More like 99% of them are bad.
And I predict that not one Republican pol will.
Bloodthirsty psychopaths.
Even if he were impeached, he would never be convicted in the Senate for the same reason that Trump wasn’t. Not enough votes for a 2/3 majority.
He is lucky he was not shot like Finican.
It would not surprise me if Trump is not SWATted before 2024, and maybe to get shot because a fed “saw a gun.”
Those articles of the Constitution are no longer operant.
"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.Criminal action is superior. Criminal action is by the government. Civil action is after the government concludes its case.
The federal government is an adversary to ordinary liberty.
Trust in God. Don't weep for or feel affinity for the nation, the nation rejects God.
Young and gullible! Me too, but I always bristled at the nanny. Not so much a shocker that the nanny is a crook.
The legal sysem is an industry that serves the government. The systen is riugged in favor of the government and all the players know it.
Got to hand it to the dems. They dont mess around. Arrests, indictments, jail time.
I hope we return the favor when Trump is pres again
Very apt post.
Hey, at least they didn't backshoot him - but, he wasn't a woman holding a baby, or an old guy trying to protect the women in the truck that the fibbies were shooting up.
“Sham Vannity”
I agree, no shit. Hannity needs to grow some and rebuke the 99% FBI. All of them . The 99%ers are the ones that showed up at the airport to arrest him.
