Peter Navarro and Michael Flynn come from the same self-righteous, cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs mold. Their smugness is stunning.

Navarro isn’t a lawyer. He isn’t even a real economist.

Basically he’s a zero.

How far would he have to go to get a shiny, new Contempt of Court charge thrown at him if he continues these antics?

I wonder where he was hiding his passport?

Contempt would require disobedience of a court order, not just talking like a preening jackass without an off-switch for his mouth.

He was allowed to keep his passport, and he can still use it too with court approval. He can go anywhere he wants in the continental U.S. so long as he gives his PTS supervisor prior notice.
