Navarro’s crime? He did not comply with the Democrat-led hoax Jan. 6 select committee subpoena.

What’s upsetting is the unequal application of justice in DC
Jamaal Bowman pulled a fire alarm – no jail time
Hamas supporters storm the Capitol – no jail time
Unarmed college student protests rigged election – arrested

Ex-Trump Adviser Peter Navarro Reports to Prison
‘The partisan nature of the imprisoning of a top senior White House aide should chill the bones of every American,’ he said.
By Jacob Burg, The Epoch Times, March 19, 2024:
Peter Navarro voiced frustration at a press conference on March 19, just before turning himself over to authorities in Miami, Florida, to begin his four-month sentence at the city’s minimum-security prison.
The former Trump White House trade adviser is the first official from former President Donald Trump’s administration to serve jail time. He was found in contempt of Congress in 2023 for refusing to comply with the Democrat-led House Jan. 6 select committee subpoena.
Mr. Navarro declined to turn over records for the committee, citing the former president’s executive privilege that allows some presidential records to be blocked from disclosure.

“When I walk in that prison today, the justice system, such as it is, will have done a crippling blow to the constitutional separation of powers of executive privilege,” he added.
Mr. Navarro reaffirmed his belief that a White House aide cannot be compelled by Congress to testify, and repeated his claims of executive privilege regarding the documents and testimony that the House Jan. 6 select committee was seeking through its subpoena.
In his statement on March 18, Mr. Navarro said his case should have a “chilling” effect on every American.
“The partisan nature of the imprisoning of a top senior White House aide should chill the bones of every American,” Mr. Navarro said.
He unsuccessfully filed an emergency petition with the Supreme Court on March 15 to avoid reporting to prison on March 19, but that bid was rejected by Chief Justice John Roberts on March 18.
Mr. Navarro said he would continue to appeal his case following the ruling, even if a resolution comes after the end of his sentence. His prison consultant, Sam Mangel, told The Epoch Times that for someone in Mr. Navarro’s situation with a lack of an existing record, the four-month sentence could be reduced to 90 days.
His lawyer, Stanley Brand, told The Epoch Times that Mr. Navarro would be the first White House aide in 240 years to be jailed for contempt of Congress “despite unbroken Department of Justice opinions” that say criminal contempt cannot be applied to them.
