Former Trump advisers Scavino, Navarro held in contempt of Congress in Jan. 6 probe

[ouch]

Two more jokers held in contempt of Congress, in which now they'll be turned over to slow-mo DOJ. Another words, don't hold our breaths.

Former Trump advisers Scavino, Navarro held in contempt of Congress in Jan. 6 probe

The near-party-line vote will send the criminal referrals for Peter Navarro and Dan Scavino to the Justice Department for possible prosecution.

Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland, among the nine members of the Jan. 6 panel, noted that the committee has two Republicans, including Liz Cheney of Wyoming. He added that the purpose of the floor vote was to make clear that “open contempt and mockery for this process, and for the rule of law” will not be allowed by the chamber.

“I mean, it is just amazing that they think they can get away with this,” the three-term lawmaker told reporters about Scavino and Navarro as the debate raged on Wednesday.


While pursuing contempt charges may not yield any new information for the Jan. 6 committee — any prosecutions could drag for months or years — the vote Wednesday was the latest attempt to show that witnesses will suffer consequences if they don’t cooperate or at least appear for questioning. It’s all part of an effort to claw back legislative authority that eroded during the Trump era when congressional subpoenas were often flouted and ignored.

Will Scavino or Navarro be indicted before Meadows?

Do you think Navarro could talk if his hands were tied?

Imagine just walking into mar a lago and taking it over . Have that vision in your mind. Its ok to take it. Trump just showed you how. You dont have to be subservient to folks like Trump. Just seize it.

Better yet, have DJT and Navarro facing each other and told to shout riddles at the same time. How many finger holes would each be inflicted with?

Who's gonna run it? They will most likely bankrupt it faster than Trump can.

Get your buddies together, hell get the entire city of NY and get what is yours from the man who swindled you out of your paycheck. Its dinner time.

This is a dumb comment, but at its root is the ideology of the far left - take property that isn't yours while deluding oneself that it belongs to you. "Just seize it." This is the way these folks think. They have no idea how to produce anything of value, they just want to take what other people have.

Why imagine? We saw people doing that in cities across the country in 2020.

Two more jokers held in contempt of Congress,

...by the House Committee. 🤔

 

[ouch]

...by the House Committee. 🤔

From what I've heard from the both of them on tv not that long ago, they have their stories to tell. It would be good for them to tell their stories to the 1/6 Committee while also showing that when subpoenaed, US citizens should comply.

Ah, a couple more fine, upstanding members of the party of ‘law and order’...
