"You can run but you can't hide."
Tony Shaloub as Adrian Monk was told this. His response: I can hide, oh, I can hide . Unless they do an Agee on this guy and pull his passport(s), ...last I looked,Indonesia was among the many countries with no extradition treaty with the US. Bali beckons.

Losers are gonna lose. A federal judge on Monday rejected former Trump White House trade adviser Peter Navarro’s claim that he is the victim of a Biden administration political vendetta, denying his request to probe why he has been charged with criminal contempt of Congress for refusing to comply with a subpoena from the House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. Navarro asserted that he was selectively prosecuted compared to two other former high ranking Trump White House aides against whom the Justice Department declined to bring charges — chief of staff Mark Meadows and deputy chief Dan Scavino. But U.S. District Judge Amit P. Mehta found that Navarro failed to make a plausible legal claim. “These are valid differences between Meadows, Scavino, and Defendant that could have led to their different treatment,” Mehta ruled in a 16-page opinion that found Navarro “failed to meet his heavy burden” as part of his request to seek records from the government that he says show he is being unfairly or wrongly prosecuted. Unlike Navarro, attorneys for both Meadows and Scavino engaged in talks with the committee for months after receiving subpoenas for testimony and documents last September, and Meadows turned over thousands of communications before ending cooperation. Meadows and Scavino also received nearly identical letters from Trump attorney Justin Clark directing them to invoke any immunities and privileges that typically shield communications of top presidential aides from Congress, Mehta wrote. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2022/09/12/navarro-selective-prosecution-claim-rejected/

If the Trump administration has proven one thing it's that there are rules for me and rules for thee. Federal subpoenas carry, apparently, no weight whatsoever for the former Republican party. If anyone thinks this is good for our country, they're wildly mistaken.

Washington(CNN)
As allies of then-President Donald Trump made a final push to overturn the election in late-December 2020, one of the key operatives behind the effort briefed then-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows about his attempts to gain access to voting systems in key battleground states, starting with Arizona and Georgia, according to text messages obtained by CNN.
Phil Waldron, an early proponent of various election-related conspiracy theories, texted Meadows on December 23 that an Arizona judge had dismissed a lawsuit filed by friendly GOP lawmakers there. The suit demanded state election officials hand over voting machines and other election equipment, as part of the hunt for evidence to support Trump's baseless claims of voter fraud.
In relaying the news to Meadows, Waldron said the decision would allow opponents to engage in "delay tactics" preventing Waldron and his associates from immediately accessing machines. Waldron also characterized Arizona as "our lead domino we were counting on to start the cascade," referring to similar efforts in other states like Georgia.
"Pathetic," Meadows responded.
The messages, which have not been previously reported, shed new light on how Waldron's reach extended into the highest levels of the White House and the extent to which Meadows was kept abreast of plans for accessing voting machines, a topic sources tell CNN, and court documents suggest, is of particular interest to state and federal prosecutors probing efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

She knows she's in the DOJ crosshairs! 😁 Sure, I get that, but even if she believed it at the time (ridiculous then), how can she possibly still believe it now (beyond preposterous)? "I know what I know, and nothing will ever convince me otherwise?"
