Judge: Navarro Failed To Prove Trump Invoked Executive Privilege Over His Jan 6 Testimony

U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta shot down former top Trump White House economic adviser Peter Navarro’s argument that Donald Trump asserted executive privilege over testimony Navarro was subpoenaed to give to the Jan. 6 House select committee in winter 2022.

But Navarro’s lawyer told the judge earlier this month that Trump was not expected to testify on Navarro’s behalf to back up his claims.

Hung out to dry, and by someone he thought was his pal.

I hope they take him for every cent he currently has and garnish his wages the rest of his worthless little life. He should be living in a bus shelter eating government cheese.

My stock boilerplate response–

Fuck that guy.™

– with which, I reserve the right to whip out, at any time, I feel a need for a cathartic, but mindless reply.
Which may be quite often this next year or so. Anything else is likely a waste of keystrokes. So get used to it.

Thanks, The Management

There is fucked, and there is really, truly knifed in the ribs and left for the buzzards fucked. A shame–I’m sure that deep down he’s a nice guy.

Pretty weak sauce indeed. Watery. Sour. Rancid. Toss it out.

Here’s the the thing, it’s all weak sauce from an empirical and logical standpoint. That’s what makes arguing with MAGoids and their ilk exhausting and largely useless.

Too bad Navarro had neither of those qualities.

Actually, he reminds me of a 30’s - 40’s gangster character from the movies.

Fortunately, the rule of law appears to be slapping them to their senses and will pass judgment whether they like it or not. These are serious times:

and we need serious individuals in charge. Trumpetts are not included. This is not a sprint but a marathon. Keep the pressure on - avoid the clickbait headlines - and stay the course. This is just the start.
