People have asked me why I have remained relatively quiet about the legal issue and targeting of Peter Navarro by a weaponized DOJ and Congress.  I will explain in greater detail after the news from today.

Peter Navarro was a former adviser to President Trump and the lead of the coronavirus task force.  Yesterday, Chief Justice John Roberts issued a short opinion rejecting Navarro’s effort to have the Supreme Court intervene and stay his sentence.

Mr. Navarro was charged with contempt of Congress,  and was prosecuted by the DOJ and convicted in September of two counts of contempt of Congress for refusing to provide testimony and documents to the J6 House Select Committee investigating the protest at the U.S. Capitol.  [Note, most of you know I received a similar subpoena from them, so I have a slightly different perspective than most.]

[…] Navarro spoke Tuesday morning in a strip mall in West Miami near the prison where he will serve four months. “I will walk proudly in there to do my time,” Navarro said. “I will gather strength from this: Donald John Trump is the nominee.”  Navarro called the case an “unprecedented assault on the constitutional separation of powers.” (media story)  WATCH:

.

I have a great deal of sympathy for Navarro.  I firmly believe he was unfairly targeted by the J6 committee and a weaponized DOJ who were looking for any opportunity to target people in Donald Trump’s orbit – including Navarro and Steve Bannon.  I regard Navarro as a really awesome ally, and functionally very smart and apt at the responsibilities he held in the White House.  Navarro is a good man.

Navarro was charged with failure to provide testimony and documents to Congress.  Navarro argued that executive privilege covered his refusal to provide testimony and documents.

The executive privilege that covers private conversation is held by President Trump and cannot be, should not be, waived by any advisor to the president.  However, there is a key element in the executive privilege aspect that is mostly overlooked by righteous pundits and conservative analysts as it pertains specifically to Navarro.

Judge Scott McAffee and his wife previously donated to the campaign of Atlanta District Attorney Fani Willis, so the decision today doesn’t exactly come as a surprise.

Judge McAffee doesn’t want to be the white guy who removes the black district attorney. So, instead he outlined all of the malfeasance, impropriety, lack of judgement, corruption and poor conduct, then tells the DA either her office or the special prosecutor she appointed needs to be removed.  Heck, it’s almost as if McAffee is auditioning to be the next House Speaker.

But seriously, what level of judicial cowardice is needed to decline to remove the DA yet recommend a host of regulatory agencies to review and do the dirty deed, so he doesn’t have to?

Within hours special prosecutor Nathan Wade resigned, as Fani Willis swooned over their love connection.

ATLANTA – Nathan Wade, the Georgia special prosecutor hired by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis to lead the election fraud case against Donald Trump, resigned just hours after a judge ruled that either he or Willis had to step down for the case to proceed.

Willis accepted Wade’s resignation in a letter released Friday afternoon and thanked the private lawyer, with whom she’d had a romantic relationship that threw the case into turmoil.

Speaking to local media, Judge Scott McAfee confirmed the decision to disqualify Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis will be released tomorrow.  SEE VIDEO:

District Attorney Fani Willis and Special Prosecutor Nathan Wade had a long-term romantic relationship.  They were caught lying about it in court testimony.

Additionally, according to White House visitor logs, Mr. Nathan Wade visited White House lawyers prior to indictment of President Trump, while DA Willis met with staff (Mary McCord) from the January 6 Committee prior to the indictment. The scope of the political lawfare is in bright sunlight now.

The Georgia prosecutor, meeting with Biden lawyers prior to the indictment against Biden’s political opposition, is a big issue that has yet to surface in front of Judge McAfee.  The legal ramifications of DA Fani Willis being discharged from the case for conflicts of interest and lying to the court are still unknown.

The House Subcommittee on Oversight released a report [SEE HERE] and overview [SEE HERE] highlighting just how political the J6 committee was.  The report outlines how Nancy Pelosi structured the J6 committee for political intents, and the longer report showcases the evidence of how Liz Cheney assisted.

WASHINGTON– Today, Committee on House Administration’s Subcommittee on Oversight Chairman Barry Loudermilk (GA-11) released his “Initial Findings Report” on the events of January 6, 2021 as well as his investigation into the politicization of the January 6th Select Committee. (more)

The last bullet point has a name.  The “Select Committee staff” who met with Fani Willis was likely Mary McCord.

Today, the Supreme Court gave a unanimous 9-0 rejection of Colorado’s state-level attempt to keep President trump off the ballot via Section 3 of the 14th amendment.  Congress, not the States, is “responsible for enforcing Section 3 against federal officeholders and candidates.”

Techno Fog – According to the Supreme Court, States may only disqualify officeholders or candidates from state office. This power doesn’t extend to federal elections or officers: “Nothing in the Constitution delegates to the States any power to enforce Section 3 against federal officeholders and candidates.”

President Trump will deliver his remarks at 12 p.m.

If you ever needed a good point to highlight the nature of political Lawfare, this is a great example.

Julie Kelly essentially notes that Special Prosecutor Jack Smith is asking DC Judge James Boasberg to decide what evidence should be given to Florida Judge Aileen Cannon.

Julie Kelly (Via Twitter) – “It appears that records related to the grand jury proceedings in DC on the classified docs case remain under seal and have not been transmitted to Judge Cannon or defense.

Recall that almost the entire investigation into the classified docs matter took place in Washington DC–not southern FLA even though it is the controlling jurisdiction since the alleged “crime” of retaining classified records/national defense info happened at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach.

DOJ then Jack Smith kept the case in Trump-hating DC courthouse so they could get favorable rulings from then-chief judge Beryl Howell–which they did. For example, Howell cited the crime fraud exception to justify piercing atty-client privilege between Trump and his lawyer, Evan Corcoran, to force Corcoran to turn over his records to DOJ.

Highly unlikely that would have happened in FLA especially before Judge Cannon. But right before indictment, Jack Smith moved the case to Florida. Reports at the time indicated DOJ read summaries of its grand jury evidence to a FLA grand jury in order to secure the indictment.

So, how is it almost nine months post-indictment that trove of evidence remains under seal? When the issue was raised, David Harbach said DOJ was “in the process” of asking the current DC chief judge James Boasberg to review the file, add redactions if needed, and transmit to FLA court. (link)

There is a certain level of cognitive disassociation needed by the media to ignore how the DOJ is using a DC court system to prosecute a Florida case against Trump.   Go Deep on Boasberg HERE

New York Governor Kathy Hochul has admitted the lawfare deployed against the Trump organization and President Donald Trump himself was a specific plan for his targeting and any other business interests or people within New York should not be concerned.

It’s a rather brazen admission all things considered; however, if it changes the public outlook as the various New York lawfare cases against President Trump continue, is yet to be determined.

(Via The Hill) – New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) addressed New York business owners in a new interview and told them there was “nothing to worry about” after former President Trump was hit with a $355 million fine and a ban on conducting business in New York for three years.

Hochul joined John Catsimatidis on “The Cats Roundtable” on WABC 770 AM, where she was asked if other New York businesspeople should be worried that if “they can do that to the former president, they can do that to anybody.”

As expected, the goofy Judge Arthur Engoron gave a ruling Friday [FULL pdf HERE] ordering President Trump to pay nearly $350 million in penalties for “business fraud.”  However, without any victim and with the banks testifying on behalf of Donald Trump, who exactly is he supposed to pay?

Obviously, President Trump and his lawyers are appealing this ridiculous judicial ruling. All the banks and lenders did their own due diligence on financing terms with Donald Trump.  This judge genuinely is goofy.

All operational loans and Trump Org. business loans were paid back.  There were no defaults or banking interests adversely impacted. There are no victims of what the New York State calls “fraud,” yet this judge has decided President Trump must pay $350 million in damages and must dissolve business interests in the state for a period of three years.

Three judges from the Washington DC Circuit Court of Appeals have denied the immunity request from President Trump.

In a rather stark decision reached by the panel [SEE Ruling Here] “We have balanced former President Trump’s asserted interests in executive immunity against the vital public interests that favor allowing this prosecution to proceed,” the court wrote in its ruling Tuesday.   “We conclude that the interest in criminal accountability, held by both the public and the Executive Branch, outweighs the potential risks of chilling Presidential action and permitting vexatious litigation.”

WASHINGTON  – The judges put their decision on hold only until Monday to allow Trump to ask the Supreme Court to take up the immunity fight on an emergency basis. If he does so, the decision won’t take effect until the high court acts on his request, the appeals panel decreed.  (read more)

The court essentially stayed its own ruling, pending a punt to the Supreme Court.
