House Jan. 6 panel makes contempt case against Scavino, Navarro

[L. Coyote]

The House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol on Sunday made its case to seek a contempt of Congress charge against two former Trump officials that have refused to cooperate with the panel.

The report, released ahead of a Monday vote by the panel, could ultimately lead to criminal charges for Dan Scavino, former President Trump’s deputy chief of staff for communications, and Peter Navarro, a former trade adviser to Trump who waded into efforts to promote baseless claims of election fraud in the 2020 contest.

Both men, in addition to failing to appear before the committee, have not provided a single document requested by the panel, which largely targeted their communications.

Scavino – one of the very first people subpoenaed by the panel in September– apparently received six different extensions to the request, ultimately failing to appear for a Feb. 8 deposition.

1. Anytime I see the select committee subpoena someone,

that tells me they are in the clear, DOJ isn't investigating them seeing as the select committee would not interfere in an ongoing investigation. Navarro and Scavino can breathe a sigh of relief.

2. Actually, Congress and the DoJ are seperate branches of government and they investigate the same

things if they choose to do so.

You must be AG Garland's closest confidant since you know what DoJ isn't investigating.

Navarro and Scavino can hire legal teams, they are going to need them.

3. Unless...

Congress pursues enforcement through its power of Inherent Contempt, Navarro and Scavino will not be the least bit concerned about any potential expenditures for legal representation.

4. They will have plenty of legal expenditures, fighting the contempt charges and going to trial.

5. Yes,..

that certainly be the case if Congress pursues Inherent Contempt.
