Perhaps the reason why Meadows and Scavino have not been indicted after 6 months is that they are cooperating, or they have pocket pardons and Navarro was a dummy and a sucker, who does not have a get out of jail free card. If he's representing himself, he's either broke or nuts. If he is not wealthy, powerful or useful, Trump has no respect for him and a he is a peon. Rudy, Meadows, Scavino and others, could be laughing their heads off at them while testifying against him and others at their conspiracy trials, that might include Trump! If he whips out a pardon, he wrote himself for himself, during his plea hearing, the judge might just rule on it, then set it aside and proceed with the trial, while it works it's way up the judicial food chain to the SOCTUS.

With over-ripe tomatos in a big basket.
Well judges down there do order public shaming as part of the sentence.

It's not what people did to miscreants at the front of the stocks that really counted, it was they did to them behind the stocks that they probably worried about the most... :lol:

DOJ will not charge Meadows, Scavino for refusal in Jan. 6 committee probe
The Department of Justice (DOJ) will not be charging former Trump White House officials Mark Meadows and Dan Scavino for refusing to cooperate with the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot, The New York Times reported, which cited a letter it reviewed on the matter as well as people familiar with the prosecutors’ decision.

The Friday letter that the Times reviewed was communication between U.S. Attorney Matthew Graves and House General Counsel Douglas Letter, the latter of whom was told about officials’ decision, according to the newspaper.

“Based on the individual facts and circumstances of their alleged contempt, my office will not be initiating prosecutions for criminal contempt as requested in the referral against Messrs. Meadows and Scavino,” Graves wrote in his message to Letter, according to the Times. “My office’s review of each of the contempt referrals arising from the Jan. 6 committee’s investigation is complete.”

Meadows and Scavino,” Graves wrote in his message to Letter, according to the Times. “My office’s review of each of the contempt referrals arising from the Jan. 6 committee’s investigation is complete.”

It is a huge development given that former Trump White House adviser Peter Navarro was indicted by a federal grand jury earlier on Friday, and had been voted to be held in contempt of Congress alongside Scavino, a former deputy chief of staff for communications for former President Trump, in April.

“We are grateful that DOJ exercised its sound discretion to decline prosecution given the substantial legal issues affecting the validity of the Jan 6 committee subpoena,” Stan Brand, an attorney for Scavino, said in an email to The Hill.

But Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) and Vice Chair Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) said in a joint statement released Friday night that they found the Justice Department’s decision regarding Scavino and Meadows “puzzling” and expressed that they wanted clarification around the department’s decision.

“If the Department’s position is that either or both of these men have absolute immunity from appearing before Congress because of their former positions in the Trump Administration, that question is the focus of pending litigation,” they wrote. “As the Select Committee has argued in District Court, Mark Meadows’s claim that he is entitled to absolute immunity is not correct or justified based on the Department of Justice Office of Legal Counsel Memoranda. No one is above the law.”

Navarro and Scavino, both subpoenaed, who would not offer documents or testify in front of the House select committee. The House voted to hold Meadows, a former White House chief of staff, in contempt of Congress last December for refusing to sit for an interview or deposition, although he had provided thousands of pages of documents.


“Who are these people,” Navarro said during his court hearing on Friday. “This is not America. I mean, I was a distinguished public servant for four years and nobody ever questioned my ethics. And they’re treating me in this fashion.”
It does not mean the FBI and a grand jury won't be talking to them over many matters related to J6, early days.

Department of Justice. What part are you missing? The FBI does not prosecute. Is the DoJ telling the J6 that they should have handed over their information? I do realize that the J6 would decline in order not to spook some in order that they still testify. On the flip side if the DoJ was investigating I would think some people might want to write the narrative in front of the J6 before having to talk to the FBI. Interesting times.

Lying to the FBI is a crime and there are lot's of loose threads hanging here and many cases they will be called as witnesses for at least. Also they are under risk of indictment for a variety of crimes. The DOJ is not prosecuting them because of privilege and partial cooperation. It would be a waste of resources and court time, they have them lot's of other ways and Meadows basically screwed himself and others with his partial release. Wait till the J6 panel is done, then we will see about the DOJ, but meadows is toast from what we publicly know already. Navarro hung himself on TV multiple times, I might add, even wrote a book and had no privilege anyway.

DOJ Indicts Navarro & Bannon but not Meadows & Scavino. Here are three possible explanations why.
17,798 views Jun 4, 2022 On the same day we learned that the grand jury had indicted Peter Navarro for contempt of Congress, we also learned that the Department of Justice decided not to pursue indictments of Mark Meadows and Dan Scavino, even though they also committed the same crime - contempt of Congress. Here are the three leading reasons whay the DOJ decided to indict only two of the four individuals who defied congressional subpoenas.
