Capitol Hill Blue Forums Political Issues Campaign 2020 U.S. House Select Committee on the J6 Attack

I was thinking about posting this in the "5 Laws Of Stupidity" thread, but this is a little more to the point.

Peter Navarro, Trump's Trade Advisor, was subpoenaed by the House Committee investigating Jan 6th a while back. He's made a lot of spurious claims that the committee is invalid and has no legislative purpose as the reasons he refuses to comply. (All of these have been invalidated by the courts.) He was also subpoenaed by the Grand Jury for an appearance yesterday, June 2nd, to testify and supply all documents pertaining to his communications with Donald Trump. Instead, he has been on various media making his ridiculous claims, threatening Democrats with impeachment, indictment, and even threatening arrest of Dr. Fauci "for creating the virus". Basically, "chimping-out".
