the wider public through the right wing media concocting with that man, steve bannon, they called the green bay sweep involved persuading members of congress to challenge the college electoral results setting off a chain reaction by their theory also by their cockamamie theory lead to stage legislators appointing trump elengthers. months after the january 6th committee made a criminal reseveral navarro to the department of justice, turn over records including communications with donald trump. at the time navarro s contempt with congress, cited executive privilege as a reason for stonewalling the select committee even though he wrote a book and went on television to boast about his role in the insurrection and how his plan for a bloodless coup would have succeeded if it weren t for the violence on january 6th. here he is. peter navarro on this very network with our amazing colleague, ari melber. we ll see ari in a moment. on yesterday. the very same die the indictment unseal
stick with you. we understand the hearing is now wrapped. there s a chance peter navarro will walk out through those doors any moment. until he does, and if he has anything to say sticking on a human level with. someone was assistant attorney general and a former u.s. attorney, does the kind of brazenness, not just not replying to subpoenas, pretty brazen in and of itself. brazenness going on a media tour, an ongoing kind of sequential media tour involving three appearances with ari. said last night on the air, you heard, a notion of, you know the prosecutors are watching. they can hear what you re saying here. you re playing with fire. is that the kind of thing from a prosecutor s standpoint, brazenness actually matters? they are watching, but does it affect decisions like issuing an indictment? it can. actually coming up with trump
argument of special treatment, almost inherent privilege because they re really shoulder to shoulder with trump during his working days. navarro, no way, and all he had to actually stand on were really discredited, lousy arguments. no legislative valid function of the committee, forget about that. and no executive privilege. effect ar that as well. really noteworthy, ari says, they sealed the indictment, arrest him. he s been in custody. in the clink until making this appearance. the judge did provisionally appoint a public defender. we ll see how that plays out, but he is by all accounts sort of flamboyantly combative and non-responsive and yeah eventually that means that the doj had congress back here, and is saying, you can t for no reason at all just simply thumb your nose at congress.
navarro and ari melber is a three-act play. one in january. second appearance in february. third appearance just took place yesterday as we pointed out. first appearance in january was navarro comes out more or less says here was the plan to get them to vote against the certification and that will eventually lead to this process laid out. i won t go into the details. you said describing a coup. a lot of people thought that was right. i want to play from the second appearance. described, heard references to the green bay sweep. i want to hear navarro talk about that and we ll talk about it on the other side. let s play that. my focus, ari, was simply on the green bay sweep plan, which was basically to have, it started flawlessly, the battleground state challenge the results nap would trigger 24 hours of hearings in the house and the senate, and by that we could bypass the media and get
here he is. peter navarro on this very network with our amazing colleague, ari melber. we ll see ari in a moment. on yesterday. the very same die the indictment unsealed today was handed out by a federal grand jury. waging this legal battle not to talk to the committee. not to talk to potentially doj, although you said, tbd. risking going potentially to jail, not to talk to them, but you re out here talking in public. you do realize these investigators can hear you when you talk on tv? we re talking about now, ari, the case law itself, and the constitutionality of executive privilege, testimony and immunity. second key issue in the case is the separation of powers. this committee, this kangaroo committee, is clearly violated the separation of powers. they re not supposed to act as judge, jury and executioner.
