Trump White House adviser Peter Navarro Indicted On Contempt Charges For Defying Jan. 6 Panel, 2nd Trump aide to suffer this fate after Steve Bannon

Trump Loses Big on Executive Privilege

The former president is in a dramatically weaker position than he was before the latest D.C. Circuit opinion.

So again. It says zip about the legitimacy of the committee.

 

[meaner gene]

If you are prosecuted and convicted, the criminal statute for refusal to comply with a congressional subpoena before the committee of either House can result in the following punishment:

• Fined not more than $1,000, but not less than $100 AND
• Imprisonment in a common jail for at least one month, but not more than 12 months

Meh, I could do a year standing on my head.

The fine was for contempt of court. Apparently the court has discretion.

 

[BackAgain]

Not required under law.
The DOJ was fully empowered to make that decision.

Nice try at a dodge. But wrong. The subject of the referral for contempt of Congress was the AG himself. Accordingly, he and the DOJ were conflicted and an impartial special prosecutor should have been appointed to make the determination about what to do with the referral.

Your proposal is AG Holder or one subordinate and answerable to AG Holder could legitimately make a call about whether to prosecute AG Holder. Pretty good gig if you can get it.

Peter Navarro charged with contempt of Congress for failing to comply with Jan. 6 committee​

Peter Navarro, an economic adviser to former President Donald Trump, has been indicted by a federal grand jury on two counts of contempt of Congress for failing to comply with a subpoena issued by the House Select Committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, the Justice Department announced Friday.
Navarro, 72, was charged with one contempt count involving his refusal to appear for a deposition and another involving his refusal to produce documents despite a subpoena from the committee, the Justice Department said.
Each count carries a minimum of 30 days and a maximum of one year in jail, as well as a fine of up to $100,000.

Well now, it seems that Navarro will become the first to test if he is above the law. I do hope that those members of Congress will feel they too are above the law!



The truth is out there, and the wannabes who

So let me hit you over your pin head. (A much tinier and less significant target).

The purpose for which this faux committee was created was for the reasons Congress announced upon creating it. Since you apparently didn’t bother to look it up, I’ll help you out:

SECTION 1. ESTABLISHMENT.

Committees No Longer Standing | house.gov

january6th.house.gov

Notice what’s missing? That’s right. Any reference to any hint of a concern with clarification of the electoral certification procedures or laws.

SEC. 3. PURPOSES.
(1) To investigate and report upon the facts, circumstances, and causes relating to the January 6, 2021, domestic terrorist attack upon the United States Capitol Complex ...as the influencing factors that fomented such an attack on American representative democracy while engaged in a constitutional process.

If the cause of the attack was to stop the count. The reason for stopping of the count is within Section 3 authority.

Sorry Charlie.

Steven Seagal. Steven Seagal is Above the Law.

That committee didn't even follow their own rules when they convened.
Call us when you have something legit

 

[meaner gene]

So again. It says zip about the legitimacy of the committee.

Actually the decision of the DC Circuit said the committee was legitimate (specifically ruled that their purpose was legitimate)

Legitimate Legislative Purpose

The first big problem for Trump is that the D.C. Circuit panel ruled unequivocally that the Jan. 6 committee has a legitimate legislative purpose. This is a big deal beyond the scope of executive privilege claims specifically. Trump and his allies have been using the claim that investigating committees lack legitimate legislative purposes as a basis for resistance to investigative demands since the Democrats took control of the House in 2019. That argument is no longer available in the D.C. Circuit with respect to the Jan. 6 Committee.

I didn't write the law.
The law gives the DOJ that power.

The DC circuit ruled the committee's purpose was legitimate. Which means the committee is also legitimate.

Democrats aren't operating from within the law.
They're acting like dictators......and I guarantee that when they lose the House everyone of them will be brought on charges of sedition, obstruction, abuse of power.

Both. When chasing after Seagal the cops fall to their knees in laughter and old Steven gets away every time.

Steven Seagal. Steven Seagal is Above the Law.

He's working on a new movie....."Steven Seagal is Pissed Off Again"

 

[toobfreak]

Is anyone above the law?​

Nope. And after we stomp your asses in November, then impeach Biddum out of office, look for a whole boatload of you commies to go down, starting with the Biddum Crime Family, Hillary, and hopefully many more.

 

[Donald H]

Being above the law or not is going to depend on Trump's power going forward in America. No criminal behaviour by Trump or his sympathizers will be charged if Trump still holds the power to being about a revolution.

Trump could be unstoppable, at least by any legal means used against him by the law.

Fascism will have preempted the ability of the law to act against him.

Once Trump regains power there will be no chance of returning democracy. in the past, the only way back for a country that has fallen victim to fascist rule, is total defeat.

War was possible to stop Hitler, but that's no longer possible due to MAD.

you're describing fascism, but even so there's no reason to take anything you say as serious.
