Navarro Grand Jury Subpoena Signals DOJ Has A New Focus In Its Jan. 6 Investigation - TPM – Talking Points Memo

Former Trump White House adviser Peter Navarro announced this weekend that he received a federal criminal grand jury subpoena as part of D.C. federal prosecutors’ investigation into the Capitol insurrection — the first such subpoena for an administration official to be made public.

Friendly reminder that the most likely reason nobody other than Bannon has been indicted over obstruction after the House referred them is that charging obstruction gives them discovery and insight into the rest of the much more serious crimes they’re almost certainly being investigated for. And Navarro in particular is one of the people at the junction between the White House and the outsiders who attempted to pull off both the electoral and physical coups.

I guess it was always going to come down to someone almost as stupid as the MFWWNBN. Cause of all them, I think Navarro (and Meadows who is up to his neck,) comes closest.

I get the impression that Navarro doesn’t understand what is going on. Suing the J6 committee it’s not going to stop the DOJ. But again the guy has been deluded about so many things in the past.

I’ve never seen the courts used and abused the way the Trump GOP has done and continues. I know it’s a Trump thing, but damn. The shit that those people file just has amazed me at times.

It was all fun and games until the DOJ came knocking.

How many co-conspirators are shaking in their boots?

All you trumpers can ignore these DOJ subpoenas.

Laurence Tribe, a Harvard Law professor of constitutional law, called it a “strong sign [that] Garland’s DOJ is zeroing in on Trump.”

Reading those words makes me very, VERY happy!!!

Gee darn. Couldn’t happen to a nicer Land Use Expert, International Trade Expert and now apparently lawyer.

My guess, TBH, is probably not that many, simply because so many of them still do not understand that what they did is against the law. They were working for T rumpp. That, in their minds, justified everything they did. The law is what they rely on to put T rumpp back in office. Anything else to them is deep state nonsense. I don’t get the sense from any of them that they understand their crimes.

ETA, I hope I’m wrong.

The orange ass must be going the pallets of Depends™ these days, between this and the AG of Fulton County GA’s grand jury.

Hasn’t someone else already tried to sue the J6 Committee out of existence?

Now, if only there was some way to get the International Criminal Court involved…

Justice will be done. Trumps run of avoiding consequences for years of criminality is HOPEFULLY coming to an end! In a strange way this may be the PETR PRINCIPLE at work. Trump went one crime too high!

It’s no mystery why that train wreck was staffed with incompetents. Dumb people make him think he’s smart. If tfg had been smart he never could have spent 4 years hanging out in the WH, because the base would not have thought he liked them. The MFWWNBN is the Alpha Stupid that dominates all the dummies.

Navarro’s lawsuit is totally bonkers.

Navarro’s lawsuit will focus on the loud banging.

I believe his suit against the J6 committee is part of his defense against the J6 committee’s subpoena, not a response to the DoJ subpoena. He is, however, trying to hitch the DoJ subpoena to the J6 subpoena, which ain’t gonna fly (and perhaps is the reason he’s having to do this pro se).

Goes without saying that his lawyer is a total idiot.

I think meadowmuffins started it, and all the other subpoena refuseniks copy-pasted his suit.
