    Federal prosecutors referenced the case of right-wing podcaster and former White House official Steve Bannon in their sentencing memo. Bannon was sentenced to four months in prison on a similar contempt conviction in October 2022 but is seeking to overturn his conviction and has not yet served any time.

    It’s infuriating that these pieces of shit can just be like, “Prison? Nah, I’m good. Just gonna chill for the next two years until hopefully Trump gets elected and gives me another pardon.”

    These white collar crimes are such wrist slap punishments, meanwhile Laquisha smoking a joint after a 70 hour work week from three jobs to pay for her kids inner-city shitty public school lunch goes to jail for 40 years.

    After the fourth months in what will probably be low security retreat, is he made to comply? Otherwise it seems like a slap on the wrist

    Navarro appealed his conviction immediately after sentencing.

    Anyone know if he will begin serving time immediately or if he’s free until his appeals run out? I know if you or I were sentenced, we’d go straight to jail, but that doesn’t seem to happen for the ruling class.

    Good. Now do all the current congressmen who also refused to appear for their subpoenas. Start with Gym Jordan, please?

    I hope when he becomes a “documentary” film maker a la Dinesh D’Souza. Comedy gold.
