Apparently Peter Navarro is on Ari Mebler on MSNBC detailing the plot that was laid out in the rolling stone article yesterday. Will provide clips as soon as possible. (Congrats to my voice to text for getting all of the above correctly the first time.)

> [@Euphonious\_Polemic](#): > > Nice when traitors actually explain their treasonous plan directly. And name their fellow co-conspirators And this is why so many people think they did nothing wrong. “See, they are right there on TV talking about it. If it was wrong, they would be trying to hide it”. It works perfectly for their stupid gullible audience. Not that I think Navarro is even trying for that. He’s just a monumental idiot. It’s a coincidence that happens to work. ---

Although as far as I can tell, Navarro, for some reason, rejected convention and omitted the step of having Tim Dickenson tied up and dangling over a vat of acid before he agreed to the interview. ---
