The indictment will fail since the committee has yet to show probable cause just more fishing expeditions is all I see here.

What’s the jail sentence for not participating in a clown show? Ten minutes?

Probable cause for what? He was subpoenaed as a witness for the congressional hearing.

Usually no jail, a fine, and probation, I had thought?

It's not a legitimate committee.

He wasn't a witness to what they are claiming it is political grandstanding which is why there is a lot of resistance.

The Trumpsters are in charge of deciding which facts, elections, committees, court rulings, election audits and subpoenas are "legitimate".

So those pesky old rules and laws just don't apply any more, if they don't like them.

This is what it looks like when a democracy breaks down.

Peter Navarro risks being 'locked up' if he goes too far in fighting grand jury subpoena: CNN's Elie Honig

Peter Navarro, a former economic adviser to Donald Trump, claimed that he was subpoenaed by a grand jury that's investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. It's the first indication that the Justice Department is taking significant legal steps to act over the information obtained by the...

They have been doing this for nearly a year and still nothing to show for, meanwhile they have interviewed over 1,000 people since July 7 2021.

Wikipedia:

"The committee was formed through a largely party-line vote on July 1, 2021. Its membership was a point of significant political contention. Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger were the only two House Republicans to serve on the committee, and the Republican National Committee eventually censured them for their participation.[2]

The investigation commenced with public hearings on July 27, when four police officers testified. By May 2022, the committee had interviewed more than 1,000 people.[3] Steve Bannon, Mark Meadows, Peter Navarro, and Dan Scavino have been held in criminal contempt of Congress for refusing to testify; Bannon was indicted by a federal grand jury.[4] Other members of Trump's inner circle are cooperating to some degree with the committee."

=====

So 1,000 + interviewed isn't enough?

There are SEVEN Democrats on the Committee and TWO RHINO republicans on the committee which is 100% partisan politics as no true republicans are in the group.

Sure it is!

McCarthy set it up, so he could make claims that it wasn't a legit committee, but we've been on to him and his machinations, from the get go of him calling off the bipartisan 9/11 type investigation committee, after he had gotten all the requests he wanted.....like equal members on the committee and equal subpoena power.....

Then McCarthy purposely sabotaged the House investigative committee by submitting Rep Jordan as a member when he KNEW that Jordan had a conflict of interest and would be called as a witness by the investigators....McCarthy KNEW Pelosi would reject Jordan and the other guy from the get go, before he submitted them for the committee, which would give him his second chance at pulling out, from a second investigation on what happened on 1/6.....

He planned all along, to call any investigation in to 1/6, illegitimate..... It's a Trumper M/O!

I said so on a post back in June of 2021 when McCarthy called off his participation....that THIS claim of calling the investigation a hoax, illegitimate was his plan!

And sure enough, it was....

Yupp!

Pelosi would not let Republicans appoint their own committee members.
It's a Dimm modern version of a 'Star Chamber'.

Contempt of Congress...

Couldn't have happened to a more comtemptable AH.

Pelosi was the sole gatekeeper as to who did and didn't get to sit on this kangaroo committee.
