Former White House economic adviser Peter Navarro contested the charges against him in federal court in Washington, DC, on Friday, after he was arrested by the FBI on two counts of contempt of Congress for defying the January 6 committee. Navarro spent hours in custody and in court, “having at it,” in the words of Fox News anchor Neil Cavuto. He confirmed that he had been arrested while boarding a domestic flight, and placed into “handcuffs” and “leg irons.” (Tweet/Video) He told reporters outside the courthouse that arresting officers had made a point of placing him in a cell once occupied by former attempted assassin John Hinckley, Jr.,

It used to be said that there were no political prisoner in the USA. Since Jan. 20, 2021 this has been proven wrong. We are no better than a 3rd world banana republic. FJB!

FBI belongs to the club with KGB, SS, Gestapo, Ministry of State Security, etc. assuming Republicans take Congress, their funding should be eliminated. But that won’t happen.

It has become painfully obvious that the FBI is a corrupt organization, headed by leftist thugs.

The strategy of the DOJ is to force Navarro to spend his limited savings on defending himself from this bogus contempt charge rather than pursuing his own civil lawsuit against the illegitimate Jan 6 committee. The committee did not allow the minority Republicans to select their own members and instead allowed Pelosi to install Chaney and Kizinger who are anti-Trump zealots. This is a violation of House rules and renders its proceedings and subpoenas invalid. His discussions with President Trump are also protected by Executive Privilege and President Biden can't legally deny protection for his predecessor without destroying the privilege for future presidents.

Even being arrested by the brown shirts, his lawyer does have a fool for a client.

Peter Navarro is a great guy, and a good economist and lawyer. He is representing himself to defeat the Democrat's purpose, which is to ruin him financially. I haven't heard anything from Republican leadership, which has never done a thing, no matter if the left mugs them, steals what they have, and imprisons them without being convicted of anything.

Prayers for Peter… protect him, guide him, as he proves their evil intent and false accusations, for Your Glory, Lord. Amen.

I am trying to imagine who will be running on the GOP ticket for president that can answer the questions regarding Mr. Navarro and the Jan. 6th patriots. What have they done to right these wrongs?

Under FJB, America is becoming Venezuela, a banana Republic run by a dictator, Joe Biden. Biden has his own Gitmo, the DC jail, where hundreds of Americas are held as political prisoners. Biden is Stored High in Transit.

Mr. Navarro dared to speak the truth by saying this illegitimate committee was created for the sole purpose of preventing Donald John Trump from running for President in 2024. Democrats believe if they dirty up men close to PDT, it will give them more ammunition with which to go after PDT. They have been using government agencies to attack Trump since he came down the escalator to announce his candidacy in 2015, and have been caught red handed with absolutely no consequences for their actions against a Presidential candidate and then an actual sitting President. Apparently, lawlessness by democrats and their lackeys in the FBI is ignored. An insight into this administration’s lawlessness is the fact that they are willing to destroy Executive privilege because they are confident that they can make the rules up or change them at will because they are all powerful. If Republican response, which is non-existent, is any indication, democrats are right. They can get away with anything. Show me one time a democrat has been held accountable for any wrongdoing.
Now is the time for some big shot Republican attorneys to step forward and take on this case pro bono. I doubt there will be one lawyer who will step forward to defend Mr. Navarro. You don’t see a lot of courage being exhibited by the right. It is as if they have given up. How could anyone with the means not want to stand up to this lawless tyrannical party? I honestly just don’t understand the apathy when men of courage are needed especially now. Fighting to retain the Republic is much easier than fighting to reinstate it. There does come a time when the fight is lost and then you face an almost insurmountable task that comes with bloodshed. Now is the time to act while it can be done without violence.

He really should stop making this about him and start listing all of the times dems have done the same things and gotten away with it. Show the double standard and make the dems have to refute why repubs get treated so badly but dems get away with it.
Why are the jan 6 prisoners still in jail but murderers and repeat criminals are released but repubs are not.
You are aware that in 2017 dems set fire and rioted in DC against DJT.
Remember when the Black Panthers carried rifles into the Capitol when they invaded it? Here is the story: https://capitolweekly.net/black-panthers-armed-capitol/
Or how about when the Democrat Weather Underground bombed the US Capitol. They knew who did it and yet NO ONE was arrested or charged. https://www.history.com/.../bomb-explodes-in-capitol.... And NO ONE ever went to jail.
Only when pelosi was "scared" did people go to jail. Well, the citizens are "scared" too from the violence they have to endure because the dems are letting all the violent criminals out of jail to rob, harm, punch and otherwise annoy and harm them. Nancy won't put criminals in jail that "scare" us but if SHE is "scared" people must go to jail.
You do know that the great "insurrection" lasted about 3 hours.
Dems say it was just like the civil war and 9/11? Give me a break.

Hinckley's walking around "guilty as sin, free as a bird"
so, there's that...

They had to go after Navarro and put him in irons. Otherwise, it would have looked like their conduct was racially motivated when they slapped Eric Holder in irons after he was found in contempt of congress!
Oh, yeah...

And the network I used to respect, Fox News, cut off the live coverage of his statement after he was released.

May God forgive us both, #15. Dr. Navarro is a very decent and very smart man. He is one of the few who has stood by President Trump. He knows what he’s doing, as does Trump. There will be justice one day. I don’t know if I will see it from down here or up there, but I will see it.
