Lol. You sure do know your legal stuff.

There’s no appealing a federal grand jury? He will/can ask for a dismissal- very very unlikely.
He can go to trial (jury) and will win or lose.
He can plead guilty and negotiate a sentence.
FYI. Over 90% of federal indictments lead to guilty.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say "no".
Irrelevant and not even remotely of the same scope, but entirely within their purview. So "yes". It was later resolved by the court.

An implicit Constitutional role of the legislature is investigation, so it is entirely within their mandate to seek to punish those who do not cooperate.

Investigations & Oversight

Yes it is politically driven; it is a political body duly elected by the people.

He received two indictments. That's two years, and his loose cannon act on MSNBC didn't help his position a bit. The DOJ doesn't indict unless and until they have sufficient evidence to go into court and expect a win. If Navarro is offered a plea deal for leniency, he would be an abject moron to want to go to trial.

Indeed they do. Whatever else you may think about them, the Boys in Black don't play. You decidedly do not want them on your trail.

The "right" thing to do would be for Navarro to comply with the subpoena and turn over the documents. If Trump is innocent then there will be no incriminating evidence in them.

Nah, continue to make them work for everything on this goosechase. They deserve no cooperation.

They’ve been on the trail for 5+ years only to come up with zilch. Nothing will change in trying to get him.

I can't believe people exist that still buy into this garbage, the same people who will go after a Bro for posting a Gateway Pundit article as "FAKE NEWS!"


What an absolute joke the Left is.


Your electoral demolishing this November, and subsequent political wilderness over the next decade - is more than well deserved.
IF the Dems had it they would have released it, either outright give it to the press or leak it(since they're notorious leakers). Crickets from them proves there is nothing and there never has been anything.

As we have been saying for five years. Anyone who was innocent or thought they were would go out of their way to prove it at the first opportunity. If Navarro is innocent he would have nothing to gain by drawing the process out.

The laughable part is that he is going to act as his own attorney instead of hiring one and spending his retirement, and he doesn't even understand what "executive privilege" is and who it extends to.
