Dr. Peter Navarro granted an exclusive interview to the Daily Caller from the Federal Correctional Institution of Miami, where he is serving out a sentence for contempt of Congress – a term he and his allies have called a political imprisonment.
“Lawfare is real. Lawfare is wrong … We’re not supposed to act like Communist China or a Banana Republic. But that’s the growing perception of our justice system,” Navarro told the Caller.
Navarro served as Director of the White House Office of Trade and Manufacturing Policy from 2017 to 2021. He is set to be released from prison on July 17, at which point he plans to debut his new book, The New MAGA Deal, at the RNC with Donald Trump Jr.
Navarro wrote to the Caller via a prison email system: “I’m in prison not for any crime but rather as a matter of honor and duty for defending the constitutional separation of powers.”
Navarro invoked executive privilege when declining to comply with a subpoena from the House January 6th Committee. He was arrested in June of 2022 at Ronald Reagan National Airport by FBI agents, charged in the U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C. with contempt of congress and sentenced in January to four months in prison. Navarro’s legal representation has noted that this case marks the first time in history that “a senior presidential advisor has been convicted of contempt of congress after asserting executive privilege over a congressional subpoena.”

Your post boosts Stefanik’s VP stock a lot.
If she were black and LGBTQ or trans she would be a shoo in.
That is different. Biden can claim executive priv. They waived it for Trump. Or something. Anyway it is fair and equal. /s

“Those corrupt FBI “agents” and judge are going to get the same treatment. Just a matter of time.”
For Lawfare to work against the left, we have to figure out how to venue the trials outside of left-wing shit-holes.
Suck to be locked up, but that’s not the worst place to be. Minimum security, tennis court, baseball field, basketball court, little pond to walk around.
Kind of a “Club Fed”.

Amen, hallelujah. So important.
