White House trade adviser Peter Navarro (D-N.Y.).
In response to House Democrats’ aggressive agenda to impeach President Trump, White House trade adviser Peter Navarro recently warned Democrats not to overplay their hand.
“House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has opened a ‘huge door’ for the president to present evidence of election fraud – if she proceeds with impeachment. ” Navarro warned. He has released two related reports recently.
“If she wants to prosecute based on false statements about the illegality of the election, let’s do it.” Navarro said in an interview on Steven Bannon’s “The Fight Room” show, “because we’ve got the evidence.
Navarro was referring to statements in the impeachment documents formally released by Democrats Monday alleging that Trump was wrong to reiterate that he won, and won by a landslide, the election.
Navarro said he will soon release a third report on election fraud, which essentially consists of a matrix that includes each of the six battleground states.
“Look at Biden’s narrow margin, and then look at the hundreds of thousands of potentially illegal votes in each of those six states.” Navarro said, “The president happens to be desperate to defend himself on this issue.” He went on to add that “Democrats always overplay their hand, and this is going to bite them, you know where.”
Last December, Navarro released a report providing evidence of what he called election fraud, entitled “Perfect Fraud,” which identified election irregularities and fraud in six swing states in six major areas, including outright voter fraud, ballot mishandling, controversial election process foul-ups, Equal Protection Clause violations, voting machine irregularities and major statistical anomalies.
Last week, he released a sequel, “The Art of Fraud,” revealing the specific vote-stealing strategies implemented by the Democrats.
On Monday, House Democrats sought unanimous passage of a resolution calling on Vice President Mike Pence to take action to use the 25th Amendment to the Constitution to remove Trump from office. But Rep. Alex Mooney, a West Virginia Republican, vetoed the resolution.
Pelosi said Democrats will continue their efforts to oust Trump when the House reconvenes on Tuesday, accusing him of “instigating” the Capitol incident.
Jonathan Turley, a law professor at George Washington University, doesn’t think that argument holds water.
“Trump’s speech does not meet the definition of incitement in U.S. criminal law. In fact, it would be considered protected speech by the Supreme Court.” Turley said in a column on his website.
The liberal legal scholar explained that despite the widespread and “justified” condemnation of Trump’s words, “Trump never actually called for violence or riots. Instead, he urged his supporters to march on the Capitol to express their opposition to the certification of electoral votes and to support challenges brought by some members of Congress. He explicitly told his followers to ‘make your voices heard peacefully and patriotically’.”
While efforts to use the 25th Amendment to remove Trump from office appear to be stalled, the House will hold an impeachment vote on Wednesday, CNN reported.
“We must come together to heal our country, but the recent attempt by House Democrats to remove the president from office will further divide,” said Minnesota Republican Rep. Tom Emmer (R).
“This is a politically motivated effort by Pelosi and House Democrats that will divide our country more than it will bring us together.” Emmer added.
