Peter Navarro Says Mike Pence Is ‘Guilty of Treason’... Against Trump
F ormer Trump White House official Peter Navarro, who helped devise a scheme to overturn the 2020 presidential election, declared Monday that former Vice President Mike Pence is “guilty of treason to at least President Trump and perhaps to this country.”
Navarro, who has been criminally charged for ignoring a congressional subpoena for testimony over his involvement in Jan. 6, last month unsuccessfully tried to delay his trial, claiming his book tour will occupy too much of his time. A frequent, talkative guest on news networks, the Trump administration trade adviser still managed to do some promotional work for it Monday on the friendly airwaves of The Balance , Eric Bolling’s Newsmax show.
Recalling the days prior to Jan. 6, Navarro told Bolling that he remembered an aide telling him that Pence wanted to speak with him over the phone.
“I get on the line and it’s crickets. And what happened, I think, was that his Koch Brother chief of staff, Marc Short, intercepted the call [and] backed Pence off,” Navarro said.
“And the reason why I think Pence is guilty of treason to at least President Trump and perhaps to this country,” he claimed, “is that he acted on the basis of a flawed legal opinion concocted by his own general counsel that he did not share, Eric, with either the president or the president’s White House legal counsel.”
Bolling did not push back against this serious allegation, which is punishable by death, but merely asked for clarity from his guest. “So, lack of movement—lack of doing anything —is what you’re describing as treasonous activity by Pence?” Bolling asked. “Nothing necessarily that he did, but that he had an opportunity to do something but he didn’t do it?”
Navarro then reiterated that Pence had a “duty” to inform the president and his legal team of what Navarro insisted was a “flawed” legal opinion: that Pence did not possess the authority to prevent the certification of Biden as the election winner. Navarro argued that Pence did—a claim legal experts have rejected.
Pence, Navarro complained, effectively “stuck a knife” in Trump’s back by not adhering to his scheme.

This article is a good example of why there can never be any compromises with MAGA.
Another brain dead Trump follower.
Navarro is another one of those reality denying idiots.
The collective left does not have smarts, resources, moral authority, or the will to resist the oncoming red tsunami of MAGA . After the midterms, the Dems will be effectively neutered for at least a generation
You have a very active imagination.
Please be prepared to repeat that when November rolls around. My guess is you will probably have nothing to say except possibly to scream and whine how unfair the 2022 midterm election was. Time alone will tell.
The reality denying idiots include dishonest Donald and all his sycophants and loyal gullible fans, all those who believe the election was somehow "stolen" without any evidence of widespread voter fraud and anyone who believes Trump is no longer relevant to the Republican party.
What many on the right define as the "collective left" are just tens of millions of hard working Americans who cherish our nation, cherish our diversity and work hard to make our nation a more perfect union as our founders intended by embracing all people regardless of race, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, faith or the lack thereof. Even if the right see a small win in November as they try to go back to their archaic religious conservative morality they are desperately trying to push on everyone while dismantling women's rights and rejecting diversity and inclusion in favor of their favorite flavor, white right wing Christian conservatism, it will not last.
Any of their wins will be temporary as conservatism always eventually loses even if they desperately cling to some fantasy period where they believed themselves "Great". Conservatives tried to conserve slavery, segregation, Jim Crow laws, bans on women voting, bans on blacks voting, bans on interracial marriage, bans on gay marriage and they continue to try to take us back to the time when they hadn't lost those fights. We, the vast majority of Americans, will never let that happen. We will continue to move forward with or without them. They are always welcome to join the majority of Americans in reality instead of living in their warped little conservative alternate universes where Trump won the 2020 election, evolution is a Satanic scam, the earth is only 9,000 years old and a thrice married serial adulterer is their moral compass and chosen leader, but it will likely take several more decades before the useless vestiges of the right wing religious conservative cancer afflicting our nation will completely go into remission.
Peter Navarro is an unrepentant lying sack of shit. Part of Trump's legacy is to encourage people like Navarro to just lie and lie with conviction because for some that tactic works.
Unbelievable watching these disgustingly dishonest con-men radically distort a proper execution of the CotUS.
