Keep digging that cesspit deeper Peter.

Justice can seem to have selective animosity to all those who break the law. After all, the law is pointing directly at you.

Unless he files it as a court motion, he’s got nothing I want to hear.

He’s flailing.

Along with the entire GOP.

Ron Vara thinks using big words like ‘selective’ and ‘animus’ (in the same sentence!) will convince the MAGAts of the righteousness of his case, because if he can’t convince a judge, at least he can still wail and gnash away in hopes of rallying the base to his defense.

While I am not a hunter, it is my understanding that in many places it is duck season.

Which means it is only a matter of time before Peter “Daffy” Navarro calls everyone hunting his sorry butt “despicable”.

Didn’t he used to be a semi-somebody?

It’s amazing that Navarro was once able to hold down a steady job.

They really think they are entitled bons of sitches. Some lawyer should inform this “bidness man” that you can not hide behind “executive privilege” if you are breaking the law.

The Supreme Court stated: “To read the Article II powers of the president as providing an absolute privilege as against a subpoena essential to enforcement of criminal statutes…would upset the constitutional balance of ‘a workable government’ and gravely impair the role of the courts under Article III.”

The shear arrogance of this POS. I hope the judge laughs him out of the Coutroom.

For the record… apropos Navarro,an anagram of “Animus” is…
“I M Anus”

So his defense is “The government is being mean to me”? Good luck with that…and the DFP is no longer in a position to claim executive privilege, as he is no longer the Chief Executive. You are…the weakest link. Good-bye.

“Peter Navarro on Wednesday accused the Justice Department of demonstrating a “selective animus” towards him.”

It is called “an investigation”, Peter. The real demonstration of animus shows up in the form of “an arrest and prosecution.” My hope is that he’ll learn the distinction through first hand experience.

It’s super weird that, when you tell policemen to go fuck themselves, they don’t treat you particularly well.

Interesting that they’re all for “law enforcement” except when they’re not . . .

The Court doesn’t like it either.

I bet Ron Vara is asceered that a DC jury will convict him faster than they convicted Steve Bannon.

They arrested the self-important ass boarding a plane. They didn’t know if he was fleeing the jurisdiction. I don’t blame the FBI for not giving himself a chance to turn himself in.

If it could be made into a slogan, this fuck would have the nerve to try to sell it as a strategy

An anagram of “Peter Navarro” is “rent a vaporer” (also “an oar pervert”).
