I Went to Prison So You Won't Have To

A Love and Lawfare Story in Trump Land

De: Peter Navarro, Bonnie Brenner, Stephan Bannon

Narrado por: Ray Cole, Jen Greenfield

They locked him up to send a message. This book sends one right back. When senior Trump White House advisor Peter Navarro refused to kneel before the Democrats’ rigged J6 witch hunt, they came for him with guns and handcuffs. Ambushed by five armed FBI agents at Reagan airport, shackled in leg irons, and strip-searched, Navarro became the first ever top presidential aide in US history to be put in federal prison for defending the Constitution.

I Went to Prison So You Won’t Have To presents Peter’s raw, unfiltered account of what really happens when the American justice system is weaponized for political revenge. Told through a powerful exchange of personal letters between Peter and his fiancée, this book pulls back the curtain on a corrupt and bloated federal prison system in which Trump-era reform laws are ignored, taxpayer dollars are wasted by the billions, and families are torn apart. This isn’t just Navarro’s story. It’s a warning to every American: If rabid partisans can weaponize our justice system to imprison a senior White House official for doing his job, no citizen is truly safe.

Candid, defiant, and deeply personal, I Went to Prison So You Won’t Have To delivers a searing indictment of the Left’s lawfare machine—and a stirring defense of freedom, love, and constitutional principle in the face of overwhelming injustice. If they can come for Peter, they can come for you.

Listen to this book. Before it’s too late.

Man of Character

Ya, he’s a Trump guy. But beyond that, and like Trump, he’s a democrat who got red-pilled. This book is a great expose of the corruption in the democrat party, the Biden administration, and the United States Federal Bureau of Prisons. Plus there’s a nice little love story to follow. Excellent read (or listen, as the format may be).

Never give up and never give in!

This is a story of corrupt political and bureaucratic leaders that are still in place. These people appear to be working to destroy political opponents at all costs regardless of damage to our Nation. How Peter and his fiancee endured his political imprisonment. How this good man endured and overcame to emerge with knowledge of political enemies and the Federal prison system he would not have otherwise.

Good but flawed story of Biden's lawfare war

Mr. Navarro and other Trump aides and attorney's have been put through hell at the hands of a politicized DOJ.

He tells his story clearly a simply. But he has gotten too sympathetic with fellow inmates, and doesn't understand what's going on in much of the US.

Maybe there are parts of the country where people are overcharged and end up serving too long a sentence for their crime. But where I live, a woke college town in an otherwise red state, two of our three judges don't really believe in sending people to jail unless they actually manage to kill their victim. And the DA's office has been incompetent for a long time.

The result? A LOOOONG string of attempted murderers, rapists, and every other felon gets probation. Sometimes the woke judges deviate from the sentencing guidelines, Sometimes the prosecutors let the person plea to a much less serious crime than what they committed. Sometimes both.

On top of this, our city tries to treat "people experiencing homelessness" with a great deal of compassion. As a result we pull the homeless in from all over. They now commit about half the murders in town, and do many other things to get - probation.

We've got just a couple of years to go before retirement, and then we are out of here.

Interesting Read

I don't write long reviews. This is a good listen for MAGA folks like me...especially if you are fascinated by prison life.

Peter is a very likeable political figure.
