Peter Navarro was prosecuted because he thought he was above the law, defied a duly issued subpoena by the January 6th Select Committee, and was cited for contempt of Congress by the House of Representatives. His victim act is bullshit.

But that theory didn't come out of nowhere! John Solomon and others had amplified it in the fringe press and the NYT and others picked up on it. But guess what the sham Johnson-Grassley probe accidentally told us?…

I've found that congressional probes make the biggest impact on the public when investigators under-promise and over-deliver in presenting their findings. This is a somewhat... different approach.

There was nothing damning in the docs as it relates to Hunter. But one remarkable detail did emerge. But first: Bear in mind, the Foreign Affairs Cmte got these docs in late 2020, AFTER the first Trump impeachment, for shaking down Zelenskyy to smear Biden…

Trump knew they were armed. He knew they were angry. He told them to march on the Capitol and fight like hell. And he wanted to go with them. These facts are undisputed. (P.S.: Not sure these newly released transcripts are having the effect Loudermilk was hoping for.)

The defense of Trump's actions went something like this: Trump was trying to get to the bottom of Biden-adjacent corruption because his son was on the board of Burisma, a Ukrainian energy company. It was (and remains, given the House GOP's renewed focus on it) bullshit…

In my experience, when a chairman goes on tv and can’t answer even the most basic questions about “blockbuster” evidence without utterly unraveling, it might not be the strongest case. Also good work by @ryanobles pushing for an answer.
