Political Quotes

Mr. Speaker, I rise to alert this House of the actions of the Federal Bureau of Prisons, which seem to be vindicating the claim made by Peter Navarro that he is being held as a political prisoner. I have been trying for 5 weeks to be able to interview Mr. Navarro. There are provisions that ought to allow this, and I was informed directly by Director Peters, who runs the bureau, that that request would be denied. The reason it is being denied is because Peter Navarro is too notorious to be interviewed by a Member of Congress. John Gotti was interviewed when he was in prison. The QAnon Shaman was interviewed in prison. Director Peters herself brought NBC News through prisons to showcase the work of corrections that is being done. I think there is something else afoot here. Mr. Navarro, I am being told, is not being allowed to access his attorney, and it is because it is shameful what has been done to Peter Navarro based on a sham January 6 committee and a sham indictment and a sham conviction that we ought to work to remediate immediately upon President Trump's rightful and righteous return to office. ____________________
