Peter Navarro Bust Likely Warning To Trump Cronies DOJ's Not 'Fooling,' Ex-Prosecutor Says

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The no-frills FBI arrest of Donald Trump’s former trade adviser Peter Navarro for defying a subpoena is likely a “hard message” from the Department of Justice that it’s not “fooling around,” a former federal prosecutor said Saturday.

Navarro was charged with two criminal contempt of Congress counts for defying a subpoena to appear before the Jan. 6 House committee and failing to provide demanded documents.

He angrily complained to a judge and reporters outside court after his arrest Friday at an airport in Washington, D.C., that he was handcuffed and locked in a jail cell. He told journalists that the subpoenas he defied were “ultra vigorous,” “unenforceable,” and “unconstitutional.”

Former federal prosecutor and noted defense attorney Shan Wu said on CNN Saturday that he saw “absolutely” nothing improper with Navarro’s arrest. Navarro said he was denied a phone call after his arrest, but since he’s representing himself, Wu was confused about what attorneys would have been contacted.

2. It is indeed a strong signal/ warning to the 45- Minions.

They feel it...the strain of lying .... it does not end well.

3. I wondered if they took him first because he'd get the least sympathy of any of those in line to be

cuffed and stuffed? He has no constituents and was fairly unknown until recently. He probably had the fewest powerful allies too.
