What you write is quite reasonable but this is an obvious fishing expedition since they have over 1,000 interviews and have been supplemented by the DOJ and FBI investigations for the last two years.
If they subpoenaed Navarro early on last year then it would have been the time to do it since it is well known he is a close confidant of trump working in his administration.
The J6 committee has been ongoing since July of last year it would have been OBVIOUS to subpoena Navarro then as he is an obvious choice being close to Trump.as his TRADE ADVISOR during the Trump administration that ended over two years ago what took them so long to compel him to come?
Sadly. It doesn’t matter. A Subpoena is pretty much absolute. I just read an article yesterday. The ACLU is suing Johnny Depp for expenses in complying with a Subpoena he issued for the trial that just ended. They want $85,000 and some for the expenses they incurred while complying with the Subpoena. For a case they say they were not a party to and were not involved in.
But the ACLU complied and provided 2,000 documents to his legal team.
If anyone could fight a Subpoena and win it would be the ACLU. And they didn’t.
That is the way the legal system works. Right or wrong isn’t up for discussion. That discussion is a political question. Not a legal one.
Now when you choose to thumb your nose at the Subpoena. You might get away with it. You probably won’t. So Navarro knew what the risks were. He could have turned over the documents. He could have done what he was supposed to. Required to.
But people get busted ignoring subpoenas and warrants all the time. A Sheriff. The actual elected Sheriff was busted for it.
Navarro could have walked in. Smiled and stated his name for the record. And then start replying to every question with refuse to answer on advice of council.
Jan 6 was a shit show. The idiots who were there should be neutered to insure they don’t procreate. Those morons have done more damage to Conservatives than Trump Co did and I voted for Trump in 2016.
And before you start screaming I am a Liberal. Think of this. I often Credit Reagan as being a Conservative Icon. I give him a lot of credit where I think it is due. I also take him to task for failures.
But today Reagan would be a limp wrist Liberal according to the powers behind Jan 6. The Proud Boys and the rest of the morons.
And no Reagan didn’t have it easy. He was opposed by Congress. All three networks. And every newspaper in the land. He had Tip O’Neil as Speaker of the House and Nancy Pelosi couldn’t stand in his shadow.
But Reagan could talk to people. He took his case for Tax Cuts described as Dead on Arrival to the people. He got them behind it and got it rammed through Congress. He got Star Wars through Congress. Also dead on arrival.
I could go on. But Reagan was smart and a true President. He acted Presidential and listened to the advisors. He had a loyal staff because he didn’t belittle them. Even when he didn’t do what they suggested, they knew that he heard them and considered their arguments.
Don’t tell me it’s different now. The problem is our leaders are not even the equivalent of a pimple on the ass of those Greats. They are shallow and too self centered to even consider learning.
