You won't see Peter around for a while.
Fucking snake.
Amazingly all you have to do is show up to Congress and say "I do not recall" several hundred times and then go home.
According to the article he also refused to hand over documents
I am being slightly facetious. He's going down due to intransigence.
Oh my that third video. The cowbell and the whistle. Hahahha
I mean I'm sort of of two minds about it... like, I actually like the dispassionate court system, letting gravitas and justice and obeying the guardrails of democracy determine the outcome, not just showing up in a mob and whoever rings enough cowbells can make the other side look foolish and so they get their way.
And yet on the other hand, fuck him. Look at him standing there all stupid and corrupt, trying to pretend he's not going to prison and it's not hurting his feelings to have people openly shitting on him in public and he can't say anything back because he really is a liar and criminal. Look at him! It's hilarious. He tried to murder democracy and he deserves to suffer. Fuck 'im.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Before turning himself in, Navarro held a press conference in a strip-mall parking lot down the street from the facility.
Near a Papa John’s, Navarro gave an extended speech airing his grievances against the government and his prosecution, painting himself as a victim of political persecution.
Navarro, who was closely involved in Trump’s attempts to overturn his 2020 presidential election loss in the lead-up to the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, was convicted of contempt of Congress for refusing to comply with a subpoena from the House committee investigating Jan. 6.
The House Jan. 6 committee subpoenaed Navarro in February 2022, but he refused to provide either documents or testimony, making an expansive claim of executive privilege.
But as Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts noted, the federal appeals court ruled that Navarro couldn't just ignore Congress completely and was "still obligated to appear before Congress and answer questions seeking information outside the scope of the asserted privilege."
U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta said at Navarro's sentencing in January that he was "not a victim," despite his claims.
The original article contains 439 words, the summary contains 181 words. Saved 59%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Maybe he took notes from Epstein and that shit stain will never see freedom again.
