Legal experts say the indictment filed on Friday against former Trump White House official Peter Navarro is nothing more than a political witch hunt.
Navarro was indicted on contempt charges after defying a subpoena from the Democrat-dominated House panel investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, breach of the U.S. Capitol.
Under the subpoena, which was issued in February, Navarro was instructed to provide a deposition and documents to the committee. Because he refused, Navarro faces two counts. Each of the charges carries potential penalties of between 30 days and a year in jail and a fine of up to $100,000, according to the Department of Justice.
He is the second Trump adviser to be charged with contempt of Congress for refusing to cooperate with the Jan. 6 committee. Navarro has claimed executive privilege, which the House panel has rejected, claiming its questions don’t violate any areas of privilege.
Navarro was serving as an official adviser to the president at the time of the Jan. 6 breach. That’s in direct contrast with Steve Bannon, who, like Navarro, has been charged, but was an outside adviser to Trump and not an official member of his administration at the time of the breach.
The House has also voted to hold former Trump aide Dan Scavino and former chief of staff Mark Meadows in contempt, but the DOJ has not prosecuted either of them to date.
John Tolley, a New York-based attorney and former prosecutor, called the indictment against Navarro “interesting because it does bring up some major constitutional issues.”
While rare, it is not unprecedented for the House to vote to hold high-profile figures in contempt of Congress.

Negotiating and making deals is the best way…but Trump seriously underestimated his enemies, who are totally into a scorched earth policy.
It’s time for all magas who have access to a microphone .. start talking about hunter biden and his father.
Thus justice system stinks.. many voters do not know a thing about bidens.
Someone had better get the word out who is in the royal seat...the unelected corrupt unqualified. Children involved
I have never been so frustrated as now.. with a complete senile and a poorly qualified vice.. and a Muslim waiting in the wings ..
And the republicans watching..joinimg..

There are political prisoners in the United States. We are now a banana republic. Or maybe in Dementia Joe's case, a pudding cup.
A whole lot of things happening that I never thought I’d see.
The cabal has succeeded in foisting their administration upon the body politic. They now believe they are invincible. They are acting with complete disregard for the legal, ethical, and moral consequences of their blatant criminality. There is a line somewhere that when crossed will turn the citizenry against them to the point of open rebellion. Where is that red line?
The Constitution has been a relic in a glass case since Usurpation Day, January 20, 2009
Most FReepers forget about the downplayed Awan Bros scandal.
I suspect that you share my suspicions on the gravity of said case and its far-reaching consequences...an area in which I’ve found rare company.
Heh, it’s just a conspiracy theory!!
From the video description:
“The New World Order (NWO) is a conspiracy theory which hypothesizes a secretly emerging totalitarian world government.”
Now read Daniel 7:23.

You just proved your tagline, troll.
Yes I saw your reply to yourself.
At Liz Cheney request
What???
I posted before clicking the link. What is troll-ish about that?
I’m MAGA and watch War Room every morning.
I would appreciate an apology.
I do tend to ready-FIRE-aim a lot. OK, apology tendered.
“ THIS TYRANNY IS TO SHOW ANYONE THAT WORKS FOR TRUMP.....THIS WILL HAPPEN TO YOU ALSO.....WE WILL DESTROY AND BANKRUPT YOU!!!”
And Trump has said repeatedly, these agencies need to be brought to heel.
I think the plan to bring them to heel is under way.
A couple of years ago, weren’t there some demoncraps who refused to comply with a subpoena, and nothing was done to them?
"Underestimated", because with so many duplicitous RINO's he went to bed every night not confident of knowing who he could trust or who would actively betray him, but all along realizing he lived day-to-day only a few votes away from impeachment and conviction. How is that for a job description?
The FBI has declared war on the US Constitution. According to reports, they waited until Navarro went to the Airport and grabbed him there, instead of at his house which is near the FBI Offices, put him in chains and leg irons, and threw him into Hinkley’s cell. I am sure that they were snickering all the way, even though they took an oath to keep and defend the Constitution the day that they accepted their positions.
It is well past time to designate the democrat party as a terrorist organization.
I wanna hear from Dershowitz and Turley.
Hey, just saw this, thanks very much.
