Guest Post by Paul Craig Roberts
Peter Navarro, 73 years old, was Assistant to the President for Trade and Manufacturing Policy during the Trump administration. I do not know him.
Last February the Democrats subpoenaed him to appear before the Democrats’ “Select Committee on the January 6 Attack,” a show trial operation trying to invent an “insurrection” by people who took selfies sitting in Nancy Pelosi’s chair.
As Trump had declared executive privilege, Navarro simply observed the president’s right and refused to appear.
There is nothing unusual about this. It has been happening forever. Personally I do not know if executive privilege is a good idea, but it is a fact.
