The FBI on Friday arrested Trump’s advisor Dr. Peter Navarro at a DC-area airport.
Navarro was on his way to Nashville when the Stasi took him into custody in a surprise ambush.
According to media reports, Navarro told the judge that he doesn’t need a lawyer because he wants to represent himself.
CNN reported:
A federal grand jury has indicted former Trump White House adviser Peter Navarro for contempt of Congress after he refused to cooperate in the House January 6 committee’s investigation.
During a court appearance in Washington, DC, on Friday, Navarro said that he still wants to represent himself without a lawyer and accused prosecutors of using “hardball” tactics by arresting him at an airport and not allowing him to make a phone call.
Navarro said he was arrested at a DC-area airport Friday on his way to Nashville.
At Friday’s court appearance, Judge Zia Faruqui expressed concern about allowing Navarro to represent himself. “I think it’s important that you have counsel,” the judge told him.
Navarro said he was OK with the judge appointing counsel “for today” and that he sent prosecutors an email with an attorney contact as they work this out. Navarro, who has a Ph.D in economics, is not an attorney.
“The arraignment should be postponed for a number of reasons,” Navarro added, requesting that his civil lawsuit against the House January 6 committee go forward before any criminal proceedings.

He doesn’t need a lawyer...It’s a DC jury. Guilty!!
These political prosecutions have to stop. Conservatives are arrested and frog-marched through the town square while the leftists get to have their attorney arrange for any charges to be quietly dismissed by a friendly judge.
The double-standards are a violation of due process and equal justice.
Yep he's done. They're going to put him in jail. This is the kind of crap the Soviets used to pull against their political enemies.
The whole point is too intimidate us into submission.
When will the DoJ indict Eric Holder?
We need the names of the arresting dipwads?
Did Ray Epps got in on the fun, too?
We are safer if we just protect ourselves.
With Bidum fading fast and the dims panicking over the election it’s going to be a spectacular 4 months. Keep your lap strap fastened.
“According to media reports, Navarro told the judge that he doesn’t need a lawyer because he wants to represent himself.”
They’re pissed that he’s not letting them bleed him out financially, not playing “the process is the punishment “ game. GOOD FOR HIM!
Does the DOJ need Holder’s address....
Then they could make a clean sweep!
