🧵🚨 U.S. v. Peter Navarro is a landmark case of first impression. At stake: executive privilege & the very doctrine of constitutional separation of powers. This is SCOTUS-level “good law” waiting to be settled.
DOJ flipped position on Friday and it's HUGE -- Keep reading now!
Tip of the cap to @kyledcheney for flagging DOJ’s latest filing — where Trump’s DOJ flipped sides in support of @realpnavarro. But shame on @AP, @Reuters, @washingtonpost, @Law360, @business, & @CourthouseNews for ignoring this critical story.
Key Issue #1 ➡️ Do senior White House advisors have absolute testimonial immunity?
For more than 50 years, DOJ policy said YES. Biden’s weaponized DOJ flipped that precedent to put Navarro in prison. NOW SCOTUS must step in.
SCOTUS must rule or every future advisor faces Hobson’s choice: honor executive privilege & risk prison or prostrate before partisan jackals on Capitol Hill.
NOT a partisan issue. Executive privilege role in promoting sound presidential decision-making at stake.
Both Republican & Democrat presidents need trusted advisors who can speak candidly without fear of subpoenas.
If SCOTUS doesn’t fix what Biden’s DOJ broke, every future White House is at risk. I went to prison/fighting my case so this doesn't happen.
Key Issue #2 ➡️ Is invocation of executive privilege presumptive?
Yes. But a Democrat judge wrongly said “no” — and then violated constitutional separation of powers by trying to dictate to Donald Trump how he must invoke. Outrageous judicial overreach.
The high stakes: Executive privilege. Separation of powers. Rule of law.
Media blackout stunning. @AP @Reuters @washingtonpost @Law360 @business @CourthouseNews — why are you ignoring a Supreme Court case that will shape the presidency for generations?
Read my story of how weaponized justice put me in Miami federal prison for doing my duty & protecting Constitution.
