Let me tell you, tonight, trials have a way of bringing things into focus. that s the case for richard barnette, convicted after trial this week for his role on january 6th. guilty, all eight counts. that was the case for bannon, navarro s co-conspirator in the coupe or sweep. convicted of defying the committee. we re seeing some of this happen for navarro. there s a new document that i m going to tell you about right now for the first time. in this case, which proves peter navarro did not, not have a privilege claim from trump at any point during the january 6th committee probe. navarro was incorrect to imply otherwise and it s exactly what i was bearing down on in that exchange, which got less attention or notice perhaps than him admitting the sweep, but is important right now. and let me tell you about this document. this is bad news for navarro and ....
Where they were just slow walking it for two years. which is hard to understand the flip side of this. i would say this to other things about this, which about me. number one, raffensperger call deals with illegality, and the ball passed by the guilty, and this donald trump. i mean, you talk to raffensperger when your best skin donald trump exclusively to see if he broke the law. the thing is they did talk to white house lawyers last week. that is huge. as weird as this is, as weird and as late as this all seems. the fact that they broke down that wall, over top of the white house lawyers, and broke through that privilege claim. that is a big deal. charlie, i want to bring you in and talk about something that congressman marjorie taylor greene has said this weekend. she said it quite proudly that if it had been up to her. if she, and steve bannon had planned january six, she said. it wouldn t have been worse, and they all would ve been armed. first of all, let me give you the quote. ....
You, don t need the committee. the only people who knew about exclusively to think if he broke the law. the other thing is they did talk to the white house lawyers right? that is huge. so as we are does this, is as weird and late as this all seems, the fact that they broke down that wall and we re talking to white house lawyers and broke through that privilege claim, that is a big deal. i want to bring you in and talk about something that congresswoman marjorie taylor greene said this weekend. she is quite, she said it quite proudly, that if it had been up to her, if she and steve bannon had planned january 6th she said, it would have been worse and they all would ve been armed. first of all, let me give you the quote, not to mention it would have been armed. it was armed first of all. would ve been worse? more than 140 police officers would have been badly injured? she is proud of this. and the point of ....
Testimony. he said while he was on a book tour last week that congress was not entitled to his testimony. i think there is some argument out there that the vice president doing this would set a bad precedent of sorts. sometimes arguments of precedent are made when people don t really want to cooperate. he has criticized the committee, saying that it was partisan or whatever. at the end of the day, if the justice department subpoenas him, there isn t really much that he can do. if trump is able not able to assert privilege, pence will have to cooperate. and it will be difficult for there to be privilege claim for a range of reasons. one of them is that trump doesn t control it anymore. the current president does. and i don t think biden is gonna allow trump to assert privilege to stop this. and pence has written about some of this in his book. so if he was able to put it in the book, maybe the government ....
