Peter Navarro reports on government waste and abuse from within a federal prison

The Daily Caller was able to interview Peter Navarro, one of the first people in the Trump circle that the Democrats were able to imprison. Navarro is in prison because, like Steve Bannon (also going to prison), Hunter Biden (not going to prison), and Merrick Garland (not going to prison), he refused to abide by a congressional subpoena. However, the feds may rue the day they thought it was a good idea to lock him up because Navarro has now seen and is working to expose the government’s cruel and expensive prison mismanagement.

I urge you to read the whole interview (it’s not too long) because Navarro describes

• The bad food and terrible healthcare the inmates receive (although I gather that it’s still better than what the J6 detainees are going through in D.C.),
• The fact that inmates watch Fox News,
• The volume of supportive mail he receives (much of which the Bureau of Prisons manages to withhold from him for petty reasons),
• His refusal to accept a future pardon from President Trump because that would imply wrongdoing on Navarro’s part,
• His focus on his upcoming book, The New MAGA Deal, and
• His optimism about Trump’s ability, with hard work and savvy, to rein in China’s increasingly imperialistic forays and economic aggression,

All of that is interesting but, for me, the standout was his promise to expose the costly and cruel incompetence that seems to characterize anything the federal government touches:

At night, I work both on my appeal being prepared by my legal team and a project I’m working with inmates on to fix a massive computer error in the Bureau of Prisons that is delaying the release of inmates both to halfway houses and to freedom.

For those curious as to how long Navarro's prison sentence is -- it is 4 months.

He is serving his sentence at Miami Federal Corrections Institute and is due for release on July 17, 2024.

Thanks for posting.

FBOP is what it is

State joints have always been famous for waste and pocket lining

Accountability is scant especially over food and CMS stuff

I’ve had a lot of trouble with my internet connection when I try to access this article.

Here is a prior article that shed’s more light on what is happening:

I wait for that day.

It was truly shocking for me personally when Navarro was first, convicted and second, actually sent to prison. And for what?

RE: second, actually sent to prison. And for what?

The charge was Contempt of Congress ( refusing to appear before the then, Adam Schiff and Democrat dominated J6 Committee citing executive privilege).

The very same charge that we’re cited against the likes of Lois Lerner, Eric Holder and now, Merrick Garland, who have ALL not been jailed.

And this is worth 4 months in the Big House?

He’s using his time to help inmates. Much like Martha Stewart did when she was locked up.

If I were in prison, I would certainly keep my mouth shut about prison waste and abuse until after I got out of prison.
