The “System’ keeeps biting the Trump supporters like ‘Pac Man’…….
Former Donald Trump trade adviser Peter Navarro has been convicted of contempt of Congress for not complying to a subpoena from the House select committee investigating the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol.
Navarro is the second ex-aide to the former president to be prosecuted for his lack of cooperation with the committee. Steve Bannon was convicted last year on two contempt counts. Bannon’s case is currently on appeal.
Navarro pledged to appeal based on executive privilege issues.
“We knew going in what the verdict was going to be. That is why this is going to the appeals court,” he told reporters outside the courthouse. “And we feel – look, I said from the beginning this is going to the Supreme Court. I said from the beginning I’m willing to go to prison to settle this issue, I’m willing to do that.”….
Trump Staffers Feel Like They’re Facing Prison
Peter Navarro said that his contempt of Congress conviction has “everybody in that frigging White House” feeling as if they are grappling with “massive legal bills and prison time,” The Guardian reports.
Lamenting that prosecutors had pushed to “stick me in leg irons… and with half a million dollars of legal bills”, Navarro pledged to seek a reversal of his conviction from an appellate court.
This guy IS correct…..
Ok course he could ‘flip’ and give up his former boss…..
It would solve his legal issues, eh?
