0:00.0 | Another day, another senior Trump White House official imprisoned by the Libs. |
0:05.0 | First, it was Peter Navarro, President Trump's trade advisor who is currently serving a four-month |
0:09.3 | sentence for refusing to comply with a congressional subpoena. |
0:12.7 | Then of course there's President Trump, |

1:42.2 | separation of powers as Peter Navarro and Steve Bannon |
1:47.0 | argued when they did the same thing the Garland is now doing. It's unprecedented, just as Navarro observed when he became the first senior White House advisor ever to be jailed for this supposed crime. |
