Nothing short of a (possibly induced) fatal aneurysm is gonna keep Navarro from talking, and every sentence he finishes is gonna make trouble for someone in the Trump Crime Cartel. Or maybe I’m just an optimist…
… After Trump’s defeat in the 2020 election, Navarro became an early advocate for the former president’s false claims of widespread election fraud and spearheaded efforts to overturn the election. He’s been charged with two counts of contempt, each of which carries a maximum sentence of one year in prison.
The U.S. House committee investigating the Capitol insurrection subpoenaed Navarro in February and he tersely refused to comply, claiming sweeping executive privilege over his efforts. Following his appearance in court Friday afternoon, Navarro told reporters he had been arrested “getting on the plane” to Nashville and was put in handcuffs and leg irons.
“They just came with the full force of the federal government and put the hammer down trying to intimidate me,” he said, calling the Justice Department “wrong on all manner of counts.” The former Trump adviser is scheduled to be back in court on June 17 for his arraignment…
Navarro, who has been dealing with the select committee without a lawyer, publicly acknowledged receiving a grand jury subpoena related to his refusal to comply last week. He filed a lawsuit against the committee and Justice Department Tuesday, but a federal judge told him Thursday to refile it to correct a series of errors.
The select committee subpoenaed Navarro to testify in February, but he told them he would refuse to comply, citing executive privilege. The panel countered that its questions for him did not broach any possible privileges related to his White House work. Still, Navarro refused to appear. The committee held him in contempt for that decision in April, asking the Justice Department to pursue charges. The full House followed suit, adopting the panel’s recommendation…
The case will be overseen by Judge Amit Mehta, who is also presiding over two other crucial Jan. 6 cases: the seditious conspiracy trial against leaders of the Oath Keepers and a sprawling series of civil lawsuits against Trump filed by members of Congress and Capitol Police officers. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Elizabeth Aloi and Molly Gaston are handling the case for DOJ. Amanda Vaughn, the lead prosecutor in the Bannon case, is also listed among the prosecutors.

Since this is an open thread I’m going to drop this bomb here, because I desperately need advice and for reasons that will become obvious I can’t just ask on Facebook.
My stepson’s boss talked to us yesterday; she is convinced that he was murdered, quite possibly by one of his roommates, for reasons I won’t go into right now. She thinks the local county cops are not investigating it the way they should (says the local Paia cops who knew John think the same), and will conclude that he died by suicide, which she insists is not possible (plus because of other things she knows). She wants us to either hire a private derective or call the FBI so they can a) put pressure on the local police to investigate better or b) open their own investigation. I have no idea whether this would work or not. Has anyone, especially anyone familiar with the legal system, got any advice or ideas for me? Sorry to dump this here, but I can’t think of anywhere else I could go for information or advice. I’ll check back on this thread later. Anyone who wants to P.M. me can get my contact info from Watergirl.

The best way to fight these guys is with mockery. I know we all do that among ourselves, but there needs to be something more nationwide and more memorable. Maybe publish a deck of RWNJ Clown cards, each nutjob getting their own card which includes a brief description of their absurdity (like Gohmert’s “What do you mean, I can’t lie?”). It may take more than one deck, because we’d have to include that Kandiss chick from GA who is refusing to concede after receiving 3% of the vote.

Immanentize
@Soprano2:
Ugh! I’m so sorry this is happening. Obviously without knowing more I can only give you a small answer (or questions).
First, what would be the federal/FBI angle? Is there a federal crime involved (big drug dealing, mobland activity or human trafficking?) Or is it a racially motivated situation? Generally, the FBI cannot become involved, is not interested in local events, even if a murder, because they do not have jurisdiction (unlike what the TV machine tells you).
So the idea of a private investigator is probably the right path. The best way to reach a good one is to find a local attorney that has worked with AND gone up against the local cop shop before. Hiring an attorney first is always the best way to assure a more ethical private investigation. They have more tools for getting things like police reports, autopsies, etc.
Sorry this was such a drive by but I have to be 20 minutes away in 5 minutes. I’ll try to check in later?

I mean, I only have a Masters, so I expect to be thrown to the ground and tossed into a holding cell at any time, but Navarro is a PhD! All they should have done is give him a call or send him a letter, directing him to come down to the courthouse.

BellyCat
@Soprano2: Thinking further on this, you, or your attorney, can file a complaint with the local and/or state DA that you suspect a crime may have been committed. Would have to clearly detail the concerns and reasoning.
Glory b
@Soprano2: I agree that you should contact a local attorney who does criminal law. Get a referral for a private investigator. Is it possible to speak to a local journalist who might look into it? Maybe someone looking to make a name for themselves? That’s how the Penn State/Joe Paterno thing started, and we know what happened and how many heads rolled over that.
Depending on your state’s laws and jurisdiction the Attorney General’s office might be a place to contact. This isn’t something the FBI can handle, unless maybe there’s a civil rights angle.
Best of luck with this. It must be horrible.

Trump was correct in that he saved Pence’s political career by offering him the vp slot, as Pence was going to get his ass handed to him in the next gubernatorial election for being an all-round incompetent dipshit.

Find a very good attorney, who will work with a very good private investigator.
I am so sorry your family has suffered this loss.
ETA: at a minimum, can you demand an autopsy, and to speed it up? Suspect they will be doing one anyway, with an unexplained death, but that will be very important. There are coroner’s department investigators: get in touch with them, as well.
Soprano2
@Immanentize: Thx. He was reported as a missing person, but that never appeared anywhere I can find. Roomie who is the boss’ suspect claims John was acting crazy and said he paid someone to kill him (I have this in a text). Possibility there’s a native vs. White angle. I think she’s afraid the police have decided John overdosed, so they aren’t investigating any other possibilities. She said John told several people he was scared of this guy, and that the suspect is bipolar and seems to have multiple personslities (sounds like a troubled person to me). The place where John worked fired the suspect for cause. John got him that job.

@germy shoemangler: Happily, had forgotten that. But yes. That did happen.
Soprano2
@Elizabelle: They already did an autopsy to determine cause of death. Another thing she said was that his body was found in the sugar cane fields, but he was terrified of that place because they were involved in a murder trial he testified in. If NotMax sees this he can probably figure out who my stepson is from that trial, it was quite a lurid affair. A woman was murdered, they never found her body but her boyfriend was convicted.

@NotMax: Investigators can find that stuff easily. He was a witness in a murder trial and is now deceased himself under undetermined causes (even if it was an OD, was it self-administered?).
@Soprano2: I would follow Immanentize and Glory b’s very good advice, if the local DA won’t listen get a private criminal attorney (they have their own investigators they use too). I’d start with whoever the DA was who was prosecutor in the trial your son was his/ her witness. There might be a link or it could have been retaliation for the testimony.

Navarro’s got a wrinkled face like a prune left out in the sun for too long. Only 72 years old, but he looks 112. He’ll probably live as long as Kissinger (who just turned 99). Hopefully he will die in prison, though, along with several other members of the Trump Crime Family.

@Soprano2: I haven’t read the other comments but I believe that before hiring a detective I would try to make sure that a competent medical examination has been performed, and talk to the pathologist, who may have greater insight about plausibility of other scenarios.

I don’t happen to be that kind of person. I’m wondering what would be best for Soprano and her husband, who are not, after all, in the same state, and for whom pursuing this could be a large expenditure of money and effort.
ETA: If this had happened in their own town or even their own state, I’d feel differently about their doing a little investigating. This, however, looks really daunting, and the evidence they have to go on is rather slight.

@zhena gogolia: Honestly I’m just asking people I’ve come to know and trust what they think. I am concerned that the police might be making the assumption that this is just another drug overdose death, and won’t look at any other possibility. I don’t know if this is normal, but I was told that the county police wouldn’t talk to people who said they had information about the situation, and that the local police in Paia are concerned that the investigation done by the Maui County police won’t be good or thorough. It is made a lot harder by the distance. Everything I’ve heard is circumstantial, but it’s concerning enough for me to ask more questions. (Not a big fan of true crime, either.)

@zhena gogolia: I respect your personal experience here. I would observe that most murders are clearly murders and receive the proper attention from police.

@Soprano2: It’s a tough situation.
I’ve told this story before: My mother (multiple stroke victim, hypertension, etc.) ended up in the hospital in Ohio. They weren’t able to stabilize her before she died. There was a mistake made in her treatment – she was given some drug 2x when she should have only been given it once. There was some question as to whether it was a contributing cause to her death, so an autopsy was ordered. Because of the opiod/opiate epidemic, and all the young people dying (young people pretty much automatically get an autopsy), there was a backlog at the coroner’s office. It took about 6 weeks for it to be completed. (The mistake didn’t contribute to her death.)
Obviously things are different in this case, but be prepared for a slow process even if you find people who are willing to help. There’s only so much you can do even if you were there (let alone being thousands of miles away) because of the various constraints that even people of good will have to work under. It’s frustrating, and worse.
Hang in there, and know that we’re hoping for the best.
Take care,
