Contempt. sent to it doj, and doj has now charged peter navarro with a crime. theres a message to other people who may be considering defying the committee. however, it does bear noting this makes quite clear that doj is nowhere near charging mark meadows. the mark meadows contempt referral got sent over six months ago. this one got sent about two months ago. so it raises the question will doj will charging meadows, seems like not. will doj will charging dan skavino held in contempt the same day...

You make the important point that the grand jury process is always secret. this justice department has had a very tight-lipped approach from the top. so we have no reason to believe anyone would have known about this outside of the people involved at doj. unsealed today and filed yesterday, the indictment of mr. navarro. there are four people who have been held in contempt for defying congress here. now two of them or half of them are indicted. that definitely is going to weigh on the minds of a...

Efforts to overthrow the election on air but claim that theyre secret and privileged and you cant tell the committee or investigators about them, you do realize people can hear you when youre on tv. and he has taken a very certain approach to this. he says he wants to, quote, stand tall. he has maintained that he thinks everything he did was legal. and he thinks he has a legal privilege, as he put it, to resist subpoenas. what the news is today, breaking, as you mentioned, is the doj saying, no,...

About what theyve uncovered. >> what do you think -- everien listed the others who will be referred to the justice department. steve bannon has already had his answer with the justice department. what do you think this indictment means for the others? >> well, evan is right. that navarro is a much easier case for the justice department to bring. because he does not enjoy the same kind of protections a chief of staff or top advisers could potentially be afforded. the other thing is navarro has no...

So the court dont want to hear that they are on a you know political fishing expedition or reign in congress that superficially appears to be doing the regular job. those are difficult choices. the guys indicted with the criminal contempt charges have made the decision to fully ignore, saying im not showing up, im not turning over anything and that kind of pokes the bear and leads to the referrals to the attorneys office, made some interesting decisions in terms of how they executed arrest and w...

What is the significace of this? theres going to be a lot of litigation. but at first blush, this is a grand jury upholding the authority of the january 6 committee to assert congressional subpoenas. >> this is the first indictment from someone this close to the president. it suggests that the justice department has resolved any lingering concerns it may have had about executive privilege, which is what navarro tried to use to avoid testifying. he said it was up to the committee to resolve those...
