Both will be convicted of contempt. If you did not watch the Ari Melber show tonight you missed Navarro prove once again he is a complete idiot. He should write a book, How to convict yourself for dummies.
All of the top coup plotters, including Navarro are going to turn on each other as the pressure builds. I have no doubt.
When the committee presents their case to the American people the pressure on the top coup plotters will increase.
When Garland intensifies his investigation, when a grand jury starts issuing subpoenas to the top coup plotters they will turn on each other. To all the people here who believe none of the top coup plotters will be held accountable, that Garland will do nothing.
Don't bet on it, you will lose.

(15,293 posts)...but I'd still take your bet, especially if we're talking about Trump himself going down, and especially if we're talking about any action happening fast enough to affect the 2022 election.
Any DoJ action slower than that will likely become a moot point.

I watched the interview w/ Navarro tonight n good grief..aggg! Hes all over the place but still w/ executive privilege hopes. I could hardly take his arrogance. Ari did a really good job staying on point n getting him to talk.. my god..these people wanted to take our country! No. Hell no.

(9,998 posts)IMO it's as close to a Sure Thing, betting that TFG will suffer NO Consequences Whatsoever, as you can get.
If there was somewhere I could go to wager on that, and assuming it was not some indefinite open ended time frame, I'd gladly put down money.

(4,913 posts)You don't believe there is chance he could be charged with tax fraud in NY? What about the Georgia case? You don't think he could be charged with election fraud, other crimes. His infamous phone call is solid evidence.
There is nothing from our history that shows an ex president cannot be charged with a crime. We have never had a president that committed crimes like Trump.

(9,998 posts)I stand by my prediction, which I made several years ago.
He Will Not Be Held Accountable For Any Of His Many Crimes.
Even if by some chance, he is directly charged someday, he won't live to see the day when he's actually brought to justice.
I laugh at all of those who say he's going to spend even a minute in jail. I think back to all the funny memes of Karl Rove being dragged away in handcuffs, and my stupidity for believing it to be so much as a faint possibility.
I know how the game works now, and that guys like Drumpf almost always get away with their crimes.
