Peter Navarro gives blistering convention speech hours after being freed from prison

Former Trump adviser Peter Navarro, one of the Biden regime’s political prisoners, spoke at the Republican National Convention only hours after he was freed from captivity.

On Wednesday, Navarro walked onto the stage at the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, WI to thunderous applause and proceeded to reel off a blistering speech in which he put the “lawfare jackals” who imprisoned him and others on notice that their day of reckoning is rapidly approaching.

“This is a beautiful thing,” he told the cheering crowd. “This morning, I did walk out of federal prison in Miami.”

“Joe Biden and his department of injustice put me there,” he continued. “I’ve got a very simple message for you. If they can come for me, and if they can come for Donald Trump, be careful, they will come for you.”

The 74-year-old Navarro was sent to prison in March for refusing to cooperate with the Nancy Pelosi-Liz Cheney sham J6 committee as conservative commentator Steve Bannon was earlier this month, two examples of how the Justice Department has been weaponized against political foes of the Democratic Party.

“If we don’t control our government, their government will control us. If we don’t control all three branches of our government—legislative, executive, and judicial—their government will put some of us, like me and Steve Bannon, in prison and control the rest of us,” he said.

“Here’s how I got in prison. The legislative branch came for me first. Your favorite Democrat, Nancy Pelosi, created your favorite committee, the sham January 6th committee, which demanded that I violate executive privilege,” he continued with the audience booing and jeering the former speaker’s name.

“What did I do? I refused,” he said to applause. “The J6 committee demanded that I betray Donald John Trump to save my own skin. I refused. Here’s the thing about the Constitution. They demanded that I break the law because they have no respect for it. I refused.”

“And a Democrat majority in the House then voted to hold me in contempt. All right, what happened next?” Navarro continued. “The next jackboot to drop was the executive branch. Another one of your favorite Democrats, Democrat Attorney General Merrick Garland—there’s a winner—him and Jack Smith indicted and prosecuted me for criminal contempt of Congress.”

“Now here’s what’s weird about it. It’s something that Democrat prosecutors refused to do against one of their own, including two guys with blood on their hands, Eric Holder and Alejandro Mayorkas, the great border czar, right? They’ve actually gotten people killed,” he said.

“For decades, for decades, the Department of Injustice right now, the Department of Justice policy stated—hear me out on this,” Navarro added. “If Congress slaps a subpoena on a senior White House advisor like me, the advisor’s duty is to politely tell him to go pound sand. That’s exactly what I did.”

“I went to prison so you won’t have to,” Navarro later told the audience as he wrapped up his speech. “I am your wake-up call,” he said as he brought his fiance onstage.

“That’s what these lawfare jackals don’t understand,” he said. “When they put people like me in prison, and fire figurative and now literal bullets at Donald Trump, they also assault our families…on election day, America will hold these lawfare jackals accountable.”
