Former Trump adviser Peter Navarro revealed what appeared to be a significant plot to overthrow a legitimate presidential election in an interview with Steve Bannon.
Said Navarro: You were the hero on J6, Steve. You were the guy who had the strategy to go up to Capitol Hill. Pence was the quarterback. We had 100 people working on the team who were going to make sure we remanded the results back to the battleground states.

(14,168 posts)Boy they didn't waste anytime investigating and going to the press with that did they?
But nothing on Trump and an insurrection, and we're supposed to be happy?

(61,033 posts)because McTurtle cheated him out of his SCOTUS seat, but of all the positions in the Biden administration, AG was the wrong one for him.
We need an active, agressive AG, after all, trump and his cabal tried to overthrow the fucking government. There should have been scores of indictments by now for sedition/insurrection.
We all saw the crimes being committed on TV at the pre-coup rally and at the trump admin's non-action to stop the insurrection.

(14,168 posts)I'm pretty sick of the Republicans stomping us whenever they get a chance then when we're in charge we graciously show them how nice we can be to them to set an example they'll never follow.

So many, in fact, that I thought Bannon was working for the feds to implicate his co-conspirators.

(41,926 posts)Pence knew all about it but he refused to participate. Why didn't he pick up the phone and report what he knew to ... somebody? He could have called ... I don't know, maybe The Washington Post? It wouldn't have done any good to call the FBI or Dept. of Justice, that's for sure.
My point is that Mike Pence was never a quarterback and Navarro knows it.
This is all a diversion to make Chump look LESS guilty.

(39,201 posts)I'm not giving him props by any means for doing what any American should, but whew. He was such a lapdog. So relieved he wasn't that big of a one.

(24,906 posts)of no one but himself. He didn't want to wind up in prison, and he couldn't even be sure that Trump wouldn't throw him under the bus when the plot failed. I doubt he gave a shit about you, me, or our country.
