How are they liars?
1/6 select committee did not adequately preserve documents, data and video depositions — including communications it had with President Biden's administration — and failed to provide any evidence that it looked into Capitol Hill security failures on the day of the insurrection.Aug 14, 2023

Good lord what an overpriced piece of shit. That's a cheap mount and bad enameling, probably under $5 retail. We're talking pennies to produce. Trump fans are idiots.
A requirement to be a member of Traitor Trump’s cult.

I haven't found the regulation, yet, but 18 U.S. Code § 713 - Use of likenesses of the great seal of the United States, the seals of the President and Vice President, the seal of the United States Senate,...

(b) Whoever, except as authorized under regulations promulgated by the President and published in the Federal Register, knowingly manufactures, reproduces, sells, or purchases for resale, either separately or appended to any article manufactured or sold, any likeness of the seals of the President or Vice President, or any substantial part thereof, except for manufacture or sale of the article for the official use of the Government of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than six months, or both.

Seems like another charge to me...

I explored further arms found its a pattern:

Trump golf club appears to still be using presidential seal despite criminal complaint last year (The Hill, 29 July 2022).​


This is not a knock-off "fake seal" like other former presidents use, but the real deal facsimile.

he insists tRump told him not to show up
not to testify
and since tRump was previously president, he assumed tRump would acknowledge why navarro would have that understanding
but tRump - surprise - left navarro hanging, refusing to notify the court that what navarro was expressing is consistent with tRump's directive while serving as president
in short, tRump abandoned navarro, who (stupidly) defied the J6 committee subpoena in the belief that the commander-in-chief had given him explicit instructions not to disclose the counsel navarro had shared with the then-president
That's frankly even funnier, that anyone having anything to do with Trump thought he cared enough to roll out of bed on a different side for them.

Wouldn’t be at all surprising that, with minimal effort searching for illegal Traitor Trump merchandise, anyone could find dozens of examples.

I dug deeper, and the use of the seal by Trump is definitely not authorized. As far as I can find, the Executive Order of 1976 is the last modification of the regulation. Notwithstanding the clear language and intent, an argument has been put forth that it is only criminal if it creates confusion.

Uses of the presidential seal can be horrifyingly tacky, but it's not criminal (ChiTrib, Opinion)​

"The statute regulating (not “barring” or “prohibiting”) use of the presidential seal is drafted with care. Under Section 713, one commits a crime only by displaying the seal “in a manner reasonably calculated to convey a false impression of sponsorship or approval by the government of the United States or by any department, agency, or instrumentality thereof.”

With due respect to Professor Carter, he makes too broad (and definitive) a claim, at least in this context, when he asserts "The federal statute is constitutional only so long as we read it to ban uses of the seal that are either deceptive or misleading, and nothing else. What the Trump Organization is doing, or what Amazon is doing, or what a publisher touting a book is doing, involves uses that are neither deceptive nor misleading."

First, his only reference is to dicta in a case about another ordinance (in a county case). Second, it has to be placed in context: Trump continually, and falsely, asserts that he's still the rightful President, so his flogging of faux "official" materiel has a different character and, I would submit, falls clearly within the prohibition, to wit: displaying the seal “in a manner reasonably calculated to convey a false impression of sponsorship or approval by the government of the United States" Ergo, criminal use.
 
and just as I predicted Nararro made his "hero" speech on the steps of the courthouse after his verdict was delivered:
Navarro:
- I knew we would be appealing this verdict (is there any guilty verdict that is not appealed in this day and age for anybody with the coin to do it.)
- I am willing to go to prison to take this to the SC and see this to the end (Oh stop...Peter....your sentence is going to be something like 6 months. Depending on the timing you will be out before it gets to the SC
- Oh and Peter you are not the alter-ego of the President. So if that is the pile crap case you hope to "take to the SC" save your breath

You Peter are an IDIOT. You are not even an economist of any merit, never mind a Constitutional Law expert.

Personally I found it refreshing that he actually told some truths.

He clearly said that if trump was president and republicans controlled the government, he never would have been prosecuted for his crime.

I find it disgusting that a political party would do such a thing but am not surprised that the would.
 
since when does failure to respond to a subpoena actually result in jail time?
did he take the 5th? why not?

thats a crappy hill to die on


better off just taking the 5th

that bunch of whacked out liars that sent a referall indictment on Trump?
Now I get it. it would go nowhere EXCEPT for SMITH


Notice Smith says a lot of shit about Trump but doesnt indict him for 1/6
He's a verified member of the Trump CULT. Trump told him to defy the subpoena and failed to invoke executive privilege for him.

In other words, threw him under the bus as he does 99% of his loyal followers.

He blindly followed Trumps orders and is going to jail for it. What's so hard to understand?

Not only does he die on that hill, according to Navarro, he's lost his retirement savings as well. All he had to do was show up to congress and take the 5th!

I am reminded of Navarro's "Green Bay sweep" argument regarding J6 with Pence as the quarterback.

Gee maybe there is something to this football and government thing. Now we have both Tommy (football) Tuberville making a fool of himself and Nararro making a fool of himself.

Traitor Trump has pushed, and too often exceeded, legal limits throughout his business life. It is beyond clear that he doesn’t care about right/wrong and legal/illegal.

He plays the game based on volume and ratios of wins to losses in lawsuits.
