GUILTY: Trump Stooge Peter Navarro Going Behind Bars

Former Trump economic adviser Peter Navarro has been found guilty of contempt of Congress for refusing to cooperate with the House committee investigating the events of Jan. 6. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian discuss on The Young Turks. Get the Progressive battle plan:

"Peter Navarro, a former Trump economic adviser, was found guilty Thursday of contempt of Congress following a jury deliberation that lasted nearly five hours.

Navarro faced two counts of contempt of Congress for refusing to cooperate with a subpoena served by the House committee investigating the events of Jan. 6. The first charge pertained to his failure to produce documents and the second was for failing to appear for a deposition.

The former Trump aide stood off to the side of the defense table as the verdict was read — the same posture he maintained throughout the day-long jury trial. His face and posture remained unchanged as the verdict was read.

Just after the verdict was read, Navarro attorney Stan Woodward called for a mistrial, claiming the jurors went outside during their break were exposed to protestors toting Jan. 6-related signs. Government prosecutors said they did not see any protestors outside the exit the jurors purportedly used.

U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta said he would not rule on the mistrial request until the defense provided him video or photo evidence of such a situation, which they said they were collecting.

A sentencing date has been set for Jan. 12 at 2:30 p.m.

After his conviction, Navarro made comments outside the D.C. federal courthouse, swarmed by a handful of protesters speaking over him and attempting to block him with signs. He told reporters he was convicted because of “association with J6,” not for contempt of Congress, the charges lodged against him.

“You saw the opening argument of John Crabb, the attorney for the prosecution; he didn’t argue the case on contempt. He said that I was responsible for the J6 insurrection, which is totally, totally without fact,” Navarro said."

1 month / 4 months both are a joke. Being found guilty for Ignoring a US Federal Subpoena should be considered to a higher standard

[SuperWikiMan]

“If you’re a Republican, you can’t even lie to Congress or lie to an FBI agent or they’re coming after you”
- Louis Gohmert, Republican congressman
He said this in public, and on purpose.

[gfernandez]

Jim Jordan should face the same thing next. He did the same thing.

[Melpheoser]

I don't understand how this was even a debate and why I took so long.
He was subpoenaed, he refused to go... Done ! He is guilty

[andrewrowe]

Interesting that Donnie didn’t come out and support Navarro 😂😂😂😂

[bigredhorse]

So sick of double standards and Republicans thinking laws are for everyone but them.

[gemmajoseph]

Peter Navarro "people like me cannot be compelled to testify before congress" Bannon and Navarro now appeal their convictions. Lock their ass up.

[Kilgorebass]

Is there a federal prison in Green Bay that they could sweep his ass into?😅

[Mr]

Who knew the Green Bay sweep ran past the goal line and straight into jail?

[billwhitis]

Ole' Pete thought he was a big shot, but he found out he is just a little squirt.

[g.jeffreypowell]

Why wasn't he taken in Handcuffs and walked right into a holding cell. An average citizen would have been loked up. Why was he released to have a press conference outside of court

[lexmedved]

if he was a poor black woman he's be in jail for 6 years by now.

[judgegixxer]

They should put him in a Green Bay prison and given a broom.

[lifepointswithronda]

He was convicted and should have been taking into custody immediately like every other convicted person. If he wants to appeal he can appeal from behind bars. Next‼️

[patriciathompson]

Now it's time for Gym Jordan for doing the same thing. No One Is Above the Law

[danrion]

Supporters : Don't worry Trump is going to pardon us.
Trump : But...who's going to pardon me if I don't win.

[kishorenarayan]

Everyone should be treated equally. Break the law and pay the price.

[rottingcorpse]

He doesn't care. He will serve his time and claim he was persecuted and make money off it.

[vikkiskinner]

Mr Trump did you supply Peter Navarro with executive privilege " Who ?? Peter Navarro
" I don't know Peter Navarro ..

[CoolCucumber]

Didn’t gym Jordan also ignore
a subpoena?
