Over the past decade it has become increasingly apparent that there is a glaring gap in our justice system,  How can we fix it?

In 2012 Congress cited Eric Holder, Attorney General, for contempt.  Holder claimed executive privilege, and the Justice Department refused to arrest or prosecute.

In 2021 Peter Navarro, an advisor to President Trump, was charged with contempt of Congress for refusal to testify before the irregularly constituted January 6 Committee.  He claimed executive privilege, but that claim was denied, and he was arrested and treated as a common felon (shackled) rather than given the opportunity to self-surrender on his misdemeanor charge.  The DOJ then tried him, and he was convicted on two counts of contempt.

The disparity in treatment is obvious.  Contempt citations should be very rare; but when Congress charges a close advisor to the President with contempt, I believe that executive privilege should be assumed, or else the party should be arrested and tried.  There should be no difference in treatment regardless of which party controls the DOJ.  Otherwise, the entire process becomes nothing but an exercise in partisanship and a blow to our system of justice.
