No, and I don’t recall him ever going pro se. He does bitch a lot about his legal bills.
Yo Ron Vera, resistance is futile, prepare to be assimilated.
Call me when Navarro is actually eviscerated
I actually know this guy from long ago. I don’t think he’s dumb but he sure is arrogant, which can have the same effect.
His actual irrelevance.
He is dumb as a brick, he believes he is smart, and like my mother used to say the worst kind of fools are those with initiative, but he always comes up with Wiley E Coyote schemes, that end up blowing in his face. He was a try everything achieve nothing in Orange Co, before kissing Trump’s ass to a WH appointment.
I knew him back in his Orange County days. Still don’t agree he’s dumb as a brick but that’s irrelevant because he might as well be.
I was momentarily excited when I saw
“Judge Eviscerates Peter Navarro”
…really wanted the next line to be:
…and …
ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti."
Where are those velociraptors when you need them…
There’s no stay, so unless Ron Vara gets one from a higher court as part of the appeal I’d assume federal agents are already sending the appropriate communications to the ProtonMail people. I suspect the next thing is an order to Navarro to deliver the key (unless ProtonMail has it) and a request to the court to hold him in custody until he coughs it up.
My recollection is that other people have spent time in jail while deciding to give up their keys. (Or, if the FBI has the capability, they will just unlock the account and be done with it – this isn’t so much about getting access as about getting access in a legally bulletproof way that will enable future use of the documents.)
Those must be some tasty emails. I imagine his next gambit will be to claim that his dog ate them.
Smart or intelligent people can be stubbornly dumb in certain areas. In this particular case I think Peter knows that what’s in those documents can cook his goose.
So when does the judge jail Navarro for being document hoarding jackass?
If we had a government that didn’t rely on such but had codified guardrails, Trump would have never happened. I’m actually surprised Trump didn’t happen a century ago. Unfortunately, we’re now too far down the road to replace those traditions with laws because one party has internalized the belief that traditions are for suckers and that the real money and power lie on the other side. Without all three branches in full true Dem control (cough Manchin, cough Sinema) we will never be able to put the laws in place that will keep us safe from the Banana Republicans.
No, no that’s too quick, and not nearly painful enough for what this jerk deserves. I’m leaning more towards Prometheus’ punishment.
Is it about football?
How will we know unless he de-encrypts his emails?
Nay, nay … far too poetic & glorious of a demise for the piece of excrement that is Peter Navarro
… better that a Septic tank pumping truck back over him … repetitively!

And I wish we could see the documents Donald Trump was willing to force his attorneys to lie about in order to keep.
One of them is that “big, beautiful love letter” that Kim Jong Un wrote to him.
Chiselin’ Trump does not want the rest of us to see it, because it actually opens with the salutation “Dear Dotard.”
