HANG 'EM HIGH:
Trump Adviser Peter Navarro Lays Out How He and Bannon Planned to Overturn Biden's Electoral Win (Jose Pagliery, Dec. 28, 2021, Daily Beast)
In his recently published memoir, Peter Navarro, then-President Donald Trump's trade adviser, details how he stayed in close contact with Bannon as they put the Green Bay Sweep in motion with help from members of Congress loyal to the cause.But in an interview last week with The Daily Beast, Navarro shed additional light on his role in the operation and their coordination with politicians like Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ) and Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX)."We spent a lot of time lining up over 100 congressmen, including some senators. It started out perfectly. At 1 p.m., Gosar and Cruz did exactly what was expected of them," Navarro told The Daily Beast. "It was a perfect plan. And it all predicated on peace and calm on Capitol Hill. We didn't even need any protestors, because we had over 100 congressmen committed to it."That commitment appeared as Congress was certifying the 2020 Electoral College votes reflecting that Joe Biden beat Trump. Sen. Cruz signed off on Gosar's official objection to counting Arizona's electoral ballots, an effort that was supported by dozens of other Trump loyalists.
