Peter Navarro goes to trial Sept. 5th for Contempt of Congress.

Peter Navarro says Trump directed him to assert privilege

https://www.yahoo.com/news/peter-navarro-says-trump-directed-192631523.html

Washington — Former top Trump White House economic adviser Peter Navarro told a federal judge that Donald Trump made it "very clear" that he wanted Navarro to invoke certain privileges and not respond to a congressional subpoena from the now-defunct House select committee that investigated the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.

Navarro testified Monday that on Feb. 20, 2022 — 11 days after he was subpoenaed by the Jan. 6 committee — he called Trump and spoke with him for three minutes.

"It was clear during that call that privilege was involved, very clear," Navarro said.

Navarro took the stand in an evidentiary hearing in which his legal team urged federal Judge Amit Mehta to allow Navarro to defend himself at his contempt of Congress trial by stating that Trump told him not to comply with the committee's subpoena.

 

Navarro said he had a meeting with Trump on April 5, 2022, where "there was no question that privilege had been invoked from the get-go," referring to Trump as "boss" and characterizing the conversation as one where Trump did most of the talking.

 

The select committee first subpoenaed Navarro for records and testimony in February 2022 as part of its investigation into efforts to reverse the outcome of the 2020 presidential election. After refusing to comply with the requests, Navarro was indicted on two counts of criminal contempt of Congress and pleaded not guilty.

His trial is set to begin Sept. 5, and the parties are estimating the proceedings will take just days to complete.

Prosecutors had urged the court not to hold Monday's evidentiary hearing at all, arguing Navarro had not provided the court with any actual evidence that Trump had actually invoked executive privilege or testimonial immunity — certain protections afforded to presidents in specific scenarios — over Navarro's response to the congressional subpoena.

Pope says conservative U.S. Catholics have replaced faith with ideology

https://www.latimes.com/world-nation/story/2023-08-28/pope-backward-us-conservatives-replaced-faith-ideology

ROME —  

Pope Francis has blasted the "backwardness” of some conservatives in the U.S. Catholic Church, saying that they have replaced faith with ideology and that a correct understanding of Roman Catholic doctrine allows for change over time.

Francis’ comments were an acknowledgment of the divisions in the U.S. Catholic Church, which has been split between progressives and conservatives who for decades found support in the doctrinaire papacies of St. John Paul II and Benedict XVI, particularly on issues of abortion and same-sex marriage.

Many conservatives have blasted Francis’ emphasis on social justice issues such as the environment and the poor, while also branding as heretical his opening to letting divorced and civilly remarried Catholics receive the sacraments.

 

 

blood cancer sounds terrible...but they're saying this is very treatable so let's hope that's the case. hopefully he will beat cancer's azzz!

I knew it was a matter of time before the godless liberals tried to come in here to cheerlead for our (not your) communist anti-pope.  

Of course every other day of the week you do nothing but spew unadulterated hatred for Christianity but now its politically expedient, so like the ghoulish Dem you are you use it as an attack.  

This pope is a miserable failure.  Not only has he utterly failed to address, and in several cases covered for, pedophile priests, he is a total political nutjob.   

By the way in his unhinged state he also just finished singing the praises of Russia, of all places.

He needs to go asap, and Im not giving another dime to the Catholic Church until we get an actual Catholic as a pope.

 

The one placing ideology over faith is the Pope, full stop.

Please continue to cheerlead for the pedophile protecting communist pope who has overseen the destruction of his own church.  It'll be cute when you agree with me tomorrow 

The Pope: "leave your cult and rejoin Christianity"

Mike:

Even the article is a deceptive POS:

Many conservatives have blasted Francis’ emphasis on social justice issues such as the environment and the poor

Yeah that's it, all the hardcore Catholics really cant stand his support for....checks notes....poor people. 

Lol are you kidding me?

Nah pretty sure its his unhinged rants and divisiveness.  What kind of a pope speaks like him??

A communist one from Argentina, that's who.

 

And oh by the way hes reduced penalties for pedophile priests.  But yeah, us darn American Catholics and our backwards ways.  Little did we know doctrine that has stood for thousands of years can just be changed on a whim (it cant).  What he said is literally heresy.

Of course that's what the LA Times wants you to think.

Its truly disgusting. None of you people give a flying F about catholicism and literally crap on it every single day.

But now the lunatic pope has decided to sow divisions among his most faithful followers.

 

Go ahead and show me all of these horrible things Catholics have done to LGBT or literally anyone.   Especially in the US.

My rants are hinged to a set of principles that arent based on communist ideology. Key difference.

I cant believe this pope, honestly Ive never seen anything like this in my life.

He's just telling you to leave the cult you're in and become a Christian again and it's completely ruined you.  I think it hit too close to home.

Telling people they are sinners who will burn in hell for all eternity because they are gay is a perfectly fine way to treat another human being.

I could poke about a billion holes in what he said, because its utter nonsense.

Hes using politics to literally divide catholics.  Its so unbelievably wrong for a pope to even go there.  

And again Trump isnt even Catholic, Biden is!  This is insanity and its eroding the very church hes supposed to protect.

Again I realize none of you really give a F but what he said is outrageous, without even mentioning his insane comments about Catholic doctrine.

you mean you won't give another dime until the church stops protecting pedophiles right ? it's been protecting them since long before this guy ever came around and i doubt it changes after he is gone.

Yeah ask the pope himself and he'll say that.

He needs to look in the mirror.

If anyone does those things its the evangelicals, not Catholics.

Since I was in high school Catholicism has openly welcomed literally anyone in church.

Hes the leader of the church and has just continued the cycle of protectionism for this.  

And now hes regularly going on unhinged rants.  Go look at what he said about Russia.  I wish he was drunk or something, honestly that would make me feel better.

The real reason why Mike hates the pope...
