Peter Navarro has been arrested

https://www.politicususa.com/2022/06/03/peter-navarro-arrested.html

Via: NBC News, “Court documents indicate that the government requested that Navarro’s indictment be sealed until his “arrest operation is executed.” The court docket indicated Friday that the “unsealing event has occurred,” meaning Navarro was in custody.”

In case any Republican coup participant needed a reminder, the 1/6 Committee and the Department of Justice are not playing.

Peter Navarro refused to cooperate with the committee investigation. The House voted to refer him to the Department of Justice for prosecution after the committee made the recommendation. He was indicted, and now Navarro is going to be facing a judge at 2:30 PM on Friday."...


He is in custody pending his hearing this afternoon....

He must be very confused!

Now we will see if he is willing to go to jail to protect Trump.

Is that Mark Meadows is facing much a more damaging indictment than just the Contempt of Congress. DOJ may not be going after him for blowing off the House Committee because they plan to arrest him for more interesting "stuff".

If he did then, technically he's not in contempt. At least not yet.

But then stopped suddenly and refused to go in to testify.

They did vote to hold him in contempt.

Meadows was part of TFG’s staff, which wasn’t the case for Bannon or Navarro.
I don’t remember where that case was at, only that Trump kept losing and appealing.

guidelines, I think the judge or prosecution should weigh in that no such guideline exists when the issue pertains to being party to the overthrow of the govt and trying to hide such participation. Well, I assume no such guideline exists... not a lawyer!!!
