'Cuffed And Shackled': First Trump WH Aide Arrested In Jan. 6 Probe - The Beat - MSNBC

[Rhiannon12866]

Former Trump White House adviser Peter Navarro was arrested and indicted for defying the January 6th committee. This breaking news puts wider scrutiny on the MAGA effort to steal the 2020 presidential election. Navarro's arrest comes just one day after he spoke with MSNBC's Chief Legal Correspondent Ari Melber during an exclusive interview. Melber is joined by former federal prosecutors John Flannery and Barbara McQuade to discuss the escalation in the probe. Aired on 06/03/2022.

1. So Navarro was arrested @ the airport as he was trying to get on a plane and then ...

.... shackled, taken into custody, and the Government has said he is a flight risk?

[Eliot Rosewater]

2. My question is which legal entity, DOJ or House, had him arrested?

Indicted by a grand jury...and now the Justice Dept is saying they will NOT charge Mark Meadows.

[Rhiannon12866]

4. It was said that it was DOJ, I believe that the Committee only has the power to investigate

[doc03]

3. If he is a flight risk how does he walk out of jail a free man a few hours later?

6. I'm fairly certain the judge clarified some things for Navarro

like if he does any of the following things... like attempting to flee, it would result in much more unpleasantness, and must have gotten some indication from Navarro he intends to comply. Hopefully the DOJ has been collecting what they need as far as evidence already. Are there transcipts?

5. Navarro was one of Trumps more vocal supporters right from the start. And

One of the biggest liars I have ever seen.

[Rhiannon12866]

7. Well, he's still very proud of his traitorous plot - and believes he'll be vindicated in the end.

That's the sign of a cult...

8. Navarro is still a relatively small fish. This was a shot across the bow to the other conspirators.

This was basically the DOJ sending a warning to the people they really care about that ignoring subpoenas may have seemed cool when TFG was there to shield you, but he's not there now and this is what can happen. These are all craven asswipes with no loyalty to anybody and I suspect a few to fold like origami now that they see they can get the perp walk treatment at any time without warning and that shield they always thought would protect them is made of smoke.

[Rhiannon12866]

9. Very well said and I agree completely!

[KelleyKramer]

10. Wow, I didn't know they cuffed and perp walked him! Lol!

Now I know what Chris Hayes was talking about when he said Navarro got a wake up call from his 'do you know who I am' attitude Lol!!

It also explains why during his little presser he looked ummmm.. a bit frazzled!!

This is delicious!

[Rhiannon12866]

11. Yup, and he was angry because they stopped him from getting on a plane!

And, according to him, he wasn't just put in a cell - it wasn't any cell, it was John Hinkley's former cell! Poor guy had a really rough day! Here's the both parts of his post-jail interview:
