On Monday morning's War Room, Navarro's complaint was that Jeanine Pirro has not fired John Crabb, the Justice Department prosecutor who handled both cases. Bannon pushed back, because he likes Pirro. Hawk's observation is that Crabb remains employed in good standing, which says something about how much pull Navarro actually has. Then there is the older footage. Navarro sat with Ari Melber on MSNBC and described the Green Bay Sweep, the plan to keep Trump in office after the 2020 election, on camera and unprompted. That interview became part of the basis for the committee's subpoenas to him. Hawk's throughline: put a microphone in front of these men and they will describe what they did, every single time.

Using a Nicolle Wallace MSNBC segment and his copy of Jack Smith's indictment, Hawk revisits the record. Trump was indicted on more than 40 felony counts across two jurisdictions for trying to overturn 2020, lost some 60 lawsuits, and his attorneys and fake electors were later charged. He also notes the reported White House task force preparing to release documents, and figures like Tulsi Gabbard and Bill Pulte tied to the declassification push. Hawk walks through Ari Melber's timeline of the 2020 effort, from Rudy Giuliani's suits and the fake elector slates to the pressure on Brad Raffensperger and Mike Pence, and asks whether Fox News, after its roughly $787 million Dominion settlement, will risk airing these claims again.
