Contempt Well Placed

Peter Navarro is one of the last people you'd ever imagine would be thrown into a federal prison—a former Economics professor at the University of California, Irvine, a former Presidential Assistant to President Trump, Director of the White House Office of Trade and Manufacturing Policy. His idea of confrontation is to banter with reporters and other recalcitrants about the sins of Free Trade and the virtues of Tariffs and Fair Trade.

But Peter now finds himself in the Miami Federal Prison's minimum security facility, where he's served the first week of his four-month sentence. Navarro refused to cooperate with the Marxist Dem's sham January Sixth Committee, which was never lawfully formed and utterly illegitimate and which destroyed key evidence. How can Peter Navarro truly be in contempt of a Congress with an illegitimate and unlawful committee? What are the Marxist Dems hiding? And why?

These questions and likely answers are a blight on the Marxist Dems who sat on the Committee and carried out nothing less than a campaign of terror against hundreds of our fellow citizens who are the victims of the politically corrupt DOJ, FBI and DC judiciary.

Peter's refusal to cooperate with the Committee and his claim that President Trump had asserted executive privilege was rejected by the Obama-appointed DC trial Judge Amit Mehta, and by the DC Appellate Court and US Chief Justice John Roberts. There was no mention by the Chief Justice that the effect of this chain of politically-motivated judges was to not only deny Peter due process, but also combine to make Peter Navarro an historical figure: the first senior advisor to a President to be imprisoned for contempt of Congress. And the Marxist Dem Judges of the DC courts have been consistent in their political persecution of the January Sixth defendants, Presidential Assistant Navarro and President Trump himself.

Chief Justice Roberts could have brought the entire court in to determine Peter Navarro's case, to consider more deeply why the trial judge rejected out of hand the claim of executive privilege by President Trump and his senior advisors, why these Marxist Dem DC judges didn't consider more deeply whether they wanted to make Navarro an historical figure, by handing down an unprecedented assault on executive privilege and the rights of both Navarro and President Trump.

At the least, a Chief Justice would have a better claim to leadership of the Federal judiciary if he were to acknowledge that the January Sixth Committee was fatally corrupt and entirely deserving of the contempt of not only Peter Navarro, but of the entire country.
