Newly Released Emails Show Politicized FBI Targeting Trump Officials For Obeying The Law
The Federalist ^ | 2 May, 2025 | Beth Brelje

To help Democrats, Biden’s Department of Justice brought the hammer down on Peter Navarro for engaging in conduct that was not even remotely criminal.

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, has released a series of emails from 2022 showing the FBI attempted to crush a member of the first Trump administration for refusing to bow to the Jan. 6 Committee’s unlawful demands.

Grassley explains the emails in an April 29 letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel.

“My office has obtained Biden administration emails regarding the investigation and later prosecution of Peter Navarro,” Grassley wrote. “These communications provide a behind-the-scenes snapshot of some of the actions taken by the FBI’s Washington Field Office (WFO) to investigate Navarro for contempt of Congress and obstruction.”

Navarro was an adviser to President Donald Trump in his first term. Because of his close access to Trump, the highly partisan “House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol” gave Navarro a subpoena to appear in front of them to present testimony and documents about what happened that day.

He did not appear. Neither did White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Communications Dan Scavino, former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, or former Trump adviser Steve Bannon. They refused to do so because the Jan. 6 Committee was illegally established and lacked the legal authority to issue subpoenas.

As Federalist Editor-In-Chief Mollie Hemingway pointed out, when Nancy Pelosi formed the committee, she “refused to allow the top Republicans Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy picked for the committee — an unprecedented violation of House rules and norms.” Hemingway further observed that “the committee does not follow House rules on evidence or witness depositions” and “no cross-examination or presentation of a defense has been allowed from the targets of the trial.”.....SNIP

Why hasn’t the FBI Washington DC office been permanently closed?

Kash needs to find his cojones. They should be somewhere on the premises.

Navarro should be able to sue these people personally to recoup all his legal costs. And then they should go to jail.

I hope Steve Bannon goes after everyone who put him in prison for also refusing to testify in front of this sham J6 Committee.

Is Grassley swamp?

Might as well be.

It’s SICKENING to know what extent the Democrats went after Trump on made-up criminality and to see the Republican wing of the uniparty uncover real crimes and even treason and go ho-hum.

They are risk averse.

But what they are risk averse to is based on their self-interest which is not to disrupt their cushy position in the swamp status quo.

The real risk is doing NOTHING when the truth leads you to crimes which must be adjudicated.

Such a risk undermines “the rule of law” so oft unjustly invoked by the Democrat wing of the uniparty whose back is had by the rogue “judicial branch” which is in charge of the latest attempted coup attempt on a legitimately elected administration.

There is only one political party in America and Trump is not a member, at least not a welcome one.

And to validate that argument I give you the likes of the Chuck Grassley’s of the United States Senate which is nothing more than a uniparty snake pit.

Keep uncovering the truth Chuckie even if you are not troubled that no justice will ever come of it.
