OPINION
Peter Navarro Shows Us What Weaponization Looks Like

The politics in Peter Navarro’s I Went To Prison So You Won’t Have To blends the political and personal detailing how a man and a woman learning to love through a wall. For Daily Wire readers who prize cultural clarity—marriage, duty, grit—Navarro delivers the rare political memoir that centers those things without any sugarcoating.
The “Pixie Posts,” written by Navarro’s fiancée, are short, luminous slices of life: nervous drives to the prison gate, yoga-breath prayers, vending-machine burgers shared like a ritual, and the code phrase that becomes a lifeline—“We got this.”
The broader story is one of a kind: for the first time in American history, a top White House aide refuses a congressional subpoena, claims executive privilege, and is prosecuted. Imprisoned.
Former President Bill Clinton was found to be in contempt of court for his actions in the Paula Jones case. He never served any time. Hundreds, if not thousands, of former presidential advisers have claimed executive privilege during and after their time in the White House.
Peter Navarro is the first to go to jail for it.
What’s distinctive in his case is the intimate fallout: the budget spreadsheets re-done when Social Security pauses for incarceration; the scramble to get loved ones added to limited phone and email lists; the rituals of faith in a place where Passover Seders are shortened and Ramadan meals are blocked by a shift manager’s whim.
Navarro’s portrait of everyday dehumanization—the “one hug at the beginning and one at the end” rule; the guard who makes a double amputee remove his prosthetics—lands harder than the legal argument because it’s all consequence, no abstraction.
Still, Navarro includes the legal argument, and it matters. Navarro briefly reconstructs the privilege fights, the OLC opinions, and the congressional committee architecture that produced his case. He contends that Congress blurred oversight with punishment, that a sitting president – Joe Biden – sought to nullify his predecessor’s privilege, and that Congress and the White House should have negotiated rather than litigated. The Biden administration chose lawfare, and sent Navarro to prison.
