A federal judge on Friday ripped DOJ prosecutors for ignoring Hunter Biden-related subpoenas while pointing out that Trump’s top advisor is in prison for defying a subpoena issued by House members.
In September former Trump advisor Dr. Peter Navarro, 74, was convicted of criminal contempt of Congress for refusing to comply with a subpoena in Liz Cheney’s January 6 investigation.
Navarro did not comply with the subpoena because he said Trump told him to assert executive privilege.
Hunter Biden blatantly defied a congressional subpoena and nothing happened to him. He is a free man while Navarro sits in prison.
US District Judge Ana Reyes, a Biden appointee, blasted Justice Department prosecutors for ignoring subpoenas issued to two DOJ lawyers in the tax division over their role in Hunter Biden’s federal investigation.
“There’s a person in jail right now because you all brought a criminal lawsuit against him because he did not appear for a House subpoena,” Judge Reyes said, referring to Peter Navarro. “And now you guys are flouting those subpoenas. … And you don’t have to show up?”
“I think it’s quite rich you guys pursue criminal investigations and put people in jail for not showing up,” but then direct current executive branch employees to take the same approach, judge Reyes said, according to Politico. “You all are making a bunch of arguments that you would never accept from any other litigant.”

BTTT!
She is of course correct on this, but what is going to happen???
Navarro is a political prisoner.
That’s a start. Now throw him in the slammer!
p
and of course Holder didn’t get prison or anything.
Navarro is appealing but they put him in jail anyway. If he wins his appeal, where does he get his time back. 🤬
The threats to her were insufficient.

REYES: “There’s a person in jail right now because you all brought a criminal lawsuit against him because he did not appear for a House subpoena,” Judge Reyes said, referring to Peter Navarro. “And now you guys are flouting those subpoenas. … And you now say don’t have to show up?”
REYES via Politico: “I think it’s quite rich you guys pursue criminal investigations and put people in jail for not showing up (as the law stipulates), but then direct current executive branch employees to take the same jail-worthy approach. You all are making a bunch of arguments that you would never accept from any other litigant.”

That will depend on just how politicized the current crop of Supreme Court Justices have become since the stolen election.
Traitor Roberts skips anything with the slightest political taint.
He is responsible for the devolution of the US Legal System.

Bought and/or blackmailed by the Deep State. Clerks doing his thinking for him. Shameful!
74 year old Trump advisor, in an orange prison jump suit, hands shackled to his waist, leg irons, while illegal aĺiens rape, murder, rob and are let off scot free.
Plus he seems to intellectually drag ACB about like a handmaiden.
Navarro at least has a legitimate argument of executive privilege. Hunter doesn’t even have that. I guess the fix is in, Hunter will get his pardon in November. So just drag it out until then.
Not the same thing. Navarro had executive privilege. He was treated very unfairly.
“Plus he seems to intellectually drag ACB about like a handmaiden.”
I think she is, and always has been, a dud in her own right. She doesn’t need to hold Roberts’ coattails do make wrong decisions. Never liked her.
