CNN —
Former Donald Trump trade adviser Peter Navarro has been convicted of contempt of Congress for not complying to a subpoena from the House select committee investigating the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol.
Navarro is the second ex-aide to former President Donald Trump to be prosecuted for his lack of cooperation with the committee. Steve Bannon was convicted last year on two contempt counts. Bannon’s case is currently on appeal.
Prosecutors told the jury during closing arguments Thursday that Navarro “made a choice” not to comply with a February 2022 subpoena.
Justice Department attorney Elizabeth Aloi said that government only works if people play by the rules and are held accountable if they don’t.
“The subpoena – it is not hard to understand,” she said, adding that Navarro knew “what he was required to do and when he was required to do it.”
Navarro’s attorney Stanley Woodward contested the idea that the subpoena was simple, staying that the subpoena did not specify where in the Capitol complex Navarro was supposed to show up for his deposition.

So, Elizabeth, when is Holder going to trial? I missed that somehow. You lying hypocrite.
And here come the NeverTrumps cheering on our rogue government
*******************
That group will make Free Republic very entertaining over the next 13 or 14 months.
Should be fun........”Be There, Will be Wild.”
Upsidedown world.
Because it’s DC.
“Anyone that cheers this Marxist regime tyranny isn’t merely a NeverTrumper. They’re a card-carrying commie. Let’s get that straight.”
The other day there was a guy here who was defending these actions by the government and when I tried to look up his posting history, my anti-virus kicked in.

That figures.
Navarro was on Bannon the other day. He said he expects his legal bills including appeals to be close to $750k. That’s the cost of lawfare. This is definitely lawfare. Democrats and the DOJ have thrown out all notions of executive privilege and attorney-client privilege. The latter doesn’t apply to Navarro’s case tho.
I think your mistake is being a CNN worshipper.
Too funny. Mr. Defender of posting sources chooses CNN.
Your credibility us being flushed as I type.
Couldn’t agree more.
You only need one juror against the others to not convict.
Technicalities Dont matter to them. They want results
What are you yammering about? The facts (Navarro being convicted) aren’t in dispute and CNN was the first outfit with an article up. Pull your life together man.
Hypocrite.
“Do you think Navarro would risk another round of Nazi recrimination if asked to serve in the second MAGA administration?”
In a heartbeat.
I sure hope so. The country needs him.
The "committee" itself was illegal. Pelosi violated House rules by dismissing McCarthy's picks and replacing them with her own. Any judge with 2 brain cells would overturn this as a result. Sadly, we don't appear to have such a jurist in 'Slouching Towards Gomorrah' America.
That statement alone will get you three years from the Jan 6th kangaroo court.
Only three?
