Navarro wants Biden-Justice ‘collusion’ to get Trump investigated

Former Trump trade aide Peter Navarro made history on March 19, when he became the first White House aide to be thrown in prison for contempt of Congress, for refusing to appear before the House Democratic Jan. 6 Capitol riot committee.

Four months later, on July 17, he will embark on a campaign to add another and more important asterisk to his name when he leaves Federal Correctional Institution Miami. His goal is to get the Supreme Court to formalize a decades-old Justice Department policy of not compelling presidential aides to testify before Congress.

“I have said from the outset, after receiving a congressional subpoena from a kangaroo court otherwise known as the J6 Committee, that my case would certainly go the legal distance,” Navarro said.

And now, because he has a new book coming out on July 16, The New MAGA Deal, we know his plans.

In the book from Winning Team Publishing, founded by Donald Trump Jr. and Trump adviser Sergio Gor, Navarro said he hopes to end the type of political persecution he and former President Donald Trump have faced from President Joe Biden’s Justice Department by getting the court to agree that White House aides are “alter egos of the president” and should be protected from House and Senate partisans.

Navarro, in excerpts provided exclusively to Secrets, said his is a classic separation of powers case. “It is a case that has the potential of forever defining the scale and scope of the constitutional separation of powers as it implicates executive privilege and partisan attempts by the legislative branch to destroy that separation,” he wrote.

When he exits prison next week, Navarro, a youthful 74, said, “First is a big hug and kiss for my fiance, who has been an absolute rock during this.”

Then it’s on to his new project. His goal is a big one: “I want to spread the message that if WE don’t control our government, THEIR government will control us.”

Trump’s former trade and manufacturing policy chief and part-time political adviser also wants some skin from those who investigated and prosecuted him and other key White House officials for suggesting that the 2020 election was riddled with cheating by Democrats.

“I want to be crystal clear here. Neither I nor Donald Trump seek retribution against our political enemies. Yet, it is critically important that all of those who have engaged in the political persecution of Donald Trump and a large cadre of his political, legal, and policy advisers be held accountable for their actions,” he wrote in The New MAGA Deal.

He said that any former top White House aide who has stuck with Trump has faced “lawfare” persecution from Biden’s team, and he senses that the current White House played a part in that witch hunt.

In his email, he hit those who have targeted him, Trump, and others, including Steve Bannon, who is also in jail on a contempt of Congress conviction.

“The Democrats have thoroughly weaponized our justice system to illegally interfere with the 2024 presidential election. Their coordinated and choreographed subpoenas, indictments, and prosecutions are designed to distract Donald Trump and his advisors from the main mission of winning back the White House even as these legal battles drain financial resources away from the campaign. It’s a very dangerous lawfare game these Democrat elites are playing because election interference is a high crime felony — I’d call it treason,” he told us.

In his new book, he added, “A second Trump administration must and will put an end to the weaponization of the judicial system, eliminate what has become a dual system of injustice under Biden rule, and thereby restore confidence in our judiciary.”

That should include an investigation to determine if the Biden White House colluded with the Justice Department and the FBI to get Trump and his aides.

In a key passage, he wrote, “My own view, too, is that every single FBI agent and attorney involved in the prosecution and persecution of Donald Trump needs to be investigated both by Congress and the Department of Justice itself. If any of these people are found to have colluded with each other in the White House or Congress or political operatives outside the government, or to have knowingly engaged in election interference, they should be held accountable for what is, stripped of rhetoric, nothing more than an attempted coup.”

Navarro, who is expected to join a prospective Trump White House, said in his email, “If such collusion is found, election interference is a serious felony; the conspirators and co-conspirators should be prosecuted; and if found guilty, they should be sent to prison not for political reasons like I was but because they betrayed the public trust.”

In other words, it’s time to play hardball with those he feels crossed the line in going after him, Bannon, and Trump. “We need an Old Testament party.”
