The judge overseeing Peter Navarro's contempt of Congress case ruled in a pre-trial hearing Wednesday that the former Trump adviser "has not met his burden" to show a formal assertion of executive privilege by former president Donald Trump.

Navarro will stand trial on criminal contempt of Congress next week for defying subpoenas issued to him by the House select committee that investigated the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

he made a great song and dance about trump insisting he didn't comply, but couldn't produce the physical evidence to show it. do i believe trump did that? for sure, but navarro needed to show actual proof, and he didn't have that given trump's modus operandi

 

[Pad_Foot]

What’s the penalty ?
All he had to do was show up and plead the 5th 500 times, but he thought he was right? Why not show up and prove it??

Make him pay for every related expense then? Set his ass free? He’s a chickenshit! He didn’t show up at the capital!! He wanted to have clean hands!

Unless? He wants to pin it all on his lord and master

https://www.politico.com/news/2023/09/06/giuliani-aide-vanished-trump-election-00114307

another 'missing' advisor, and giuliani refuses to say where she is (i kinda doubt he even knows),; they couldn't find her before, nor during the defamation suits of Shae Moss and her daughter, but she was party to machinations attempting to get security clearance for giuliani and another to classified documents, plus harassed a clerk to be allowed access to voting machines...the clerk refused.

Friess, a national security consultant with deep roots in Washington, kept a low profile, but in November and December 2020, she was Giuliani’s jack-of-all-trades. A host of emails and documents exchanged by Friess and other Giuliani aides have been turned over to special counsel Jack Smith, according to a person familiar with the investigation granted anonymity to discuss the sensitive material.

Dozens of those documents, which have been reviewed by POLITICO, add new detail to the public understanding of how Trump’s allies operated after Election Day — and how they grappled with obstacles both immense and quotidian.

Friess, who did not respond to inquiries, has not been accused of any wrongdoing — by prosecutors or by Congress. And she has not been mentioned in either of the criminal cases charging Trump with conspiring to subvert the election. Two Georgia election workers who are suing Giuliani for defamation tried unsuccessfully to subpoena and depose her. But after searching for her for months, they gave up, saying Friess “vanished.”

The House Jan. 6 select committee also sought to depose Friess but never managed to secure her testimony. She sued to block the panel’s investigators from obtaining her phone records — and though they prevailed in the suit, there’s no public indication they ever got them.

The emails reviewed by POLITICO — including more than 20 sent or received by Friess herself — depict her as an active figure in Giuliani’s effort who feared what would happen if they failed. And they show that like so many others who have worked for Trump over the decades, Friess struggled to get paid.

looks like she's done a runner

Navarro is guilty.

WASHINGTON — Peter Navarro, a trade adviser to former President Donald Trump, was convicted Thursday of two misdemeanor counts of contempt of Congress for defying a subpoena.

sentencing due jan 12th

as for his lawyer, just lol

But Navarro's lawyer, Stanley Woodward, argued prosecutors hadn't proven Navarro acted "willfully" or out of loyalty to Trump.

“Do we know that his failure to comply beyond reasonable doubt wasn’t the result of accident, inadvertence or mistake?” he said

A House Jan. 6 select committee member Thursday credited special counsel Jack Smith for obtaining evidence the committee couldn’t.

Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.) during an appearance on MSNBC’s “The Beat with Ari Melber” acknowledged the limitations of her committee but said Thursday’s conviction of Trump aide Peter Navarro shows that a “subpoena isn't just a suggestion.”

"Now do Jim Jordan"

"Navarro is convicted for defying a congressional subpoena," Kirschner wrote Thursday. "Hey DOJ - NOW. DO. JIM. JORDAN. He committed the same d@mn crime. Don’t put him above the law. There’s no justice if there’s not equal justice."

Trump ‘does not have the right to say and do exactly what he pleases,’ Judge Chutkan says, issuing gag order

https://www.cnn.com/2023/10/16/politics/trump-gag-order-chutkan-hearing/index.html​

 

[Bray123]

Rump has posted on Trope Social that the gag order is a witch-hunt. Can't he think of another phrase, seriously?

His lawyers have issued a statement that "Today's decision is an absolute abomination and another partisan knife stuck in the heart of our Democracy by Crooked Joe Biden, who was granted the right to muzzle his political opponent, the leading candidate for the Presidency in 2024, and the most popular political leader in America, President Donald J. Trump"

I hope they've been paid in advance. But why is he arguing the toss? Threatening the prosecutor and witnesses etc is already a criminal offense, but he wants a lower punishment for doing it.

Rump has posted on Trope Social that the gag order is a witch-hunt. Can't he think of another phrase, seriously?

If he immediately stated that the gag order is a witch hunt, then he has just referred to the judge as a witch and targeted an employee of the court. No other defendant could get away with that.

Lock him up for contempt.

Trump ‘does not have the right to say and do exactly what he pleases,’ Judge Chutkan says, issuing gag order​

​

https://www.cnn.com/2023/10/16/politics/trump-gag-order-chutkan-hearing/index.html​

i especially love this quote from Judge Chutkan; she absolutely nails its context:

Chutkan specifically pointed to a Truth Social post in which the former president referred to Smith as a “thug,” asking Lauro: “In what kind of case do you think it would be appropriate for a criminal defendant to call the prosecutor a thug and stay on the streets?”

“‘Will no one rid me of this meddlesome priest’ comes to mind,” Chutkan said.

a quote attributed to Henry II of England preceding the death of Thomas Becket, the Archbishop of Canterbury, in 1170. While the quote was not expressed as an order, it prompted four knights to travel from Normandy to Canterbury, where they killed Becket. The phrase is commonly used in modern-day contexts to express that a ruler's wish may be interpreted as a command by his or her subordinates. It is also commonly understood as shorthand for any rhetorical device allowing leaders to organise or exhort violence among their followers, either directly or indirectly, while retaining a respectable distance for political, legal, or other reasons.

The witch-hunts were when the over-religious hunted for witches and found them wherever they looked. They were just old ladies in reality.

So Trump is referring to himself as an old lady.

Trump keeps denying he’s a witch

Let’s see him do a float test or a weighing!

https://abcnews.go.com/US/story?id=104231281

Trump has called Meadows, one of the former president's closest and highest-ranking aides in the White House, a "special friend" and "a great chief of staff -- as good as it gets."

lololol

having wiped my eyes, i'm still bummed he'll evade prison time. Meadows was as involved as it gets in the deliberate deception of the American public, even making money with his book.

According to Meadows' book, the election was "stolen" and "rigged" with help from "allies in the liberal media," who ignored "actual evidence of fraud, right there in plain sight for anyone to access and analyze."

But, as described to ABC News, Meadows privately told Smith's investigators that -- to this day -- he has yet to see any evidence of fraud that would have kept now-president Joe Biden from the White House, and he told them he agrees with a government assessment at the time that the 2020 presidential election was the most secure election in U.S. history.

Me too. His testimony had better get the famous orange inmate real jail time; then, I'll be okay with it.
