Fuck you, you traitorous piece of shit. It should be 40 fucking years not 4 months. Enjoy your time and the loss of your voting privileges.

I wish to be able to see one of those "faces of meth" progressions of Peter Navarro realizing more and more that he's really going to jail for a while and it's not something he can bully his way out of

The only thing that's inaccurate about that sign is that the big lie is still hurting democracy.

It needs a little asterisk next to "almost"

He knows if he reports he will be out in less time than the appeals process, he just doesn't want ANY time.

If the Supreme Court won't enforce the law, sooner or later folks are going to start doing it themselves.

Those assholes when given the chance actively rewrite law to support their fee fees while bitching about "activist" judges.

[-] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 24 points 3 months ago

Getting real sick of this aspect of the us criminal system.

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

Yeah, same. Special treatment for the elite, when they should be held to the very highest of standards.

[-] themachine@lemm.ee 21 points 3 months ago

Can I just ask the Supreme Court stuff? I don’t understand how people can just appeal to the Supreme Court after having been convicted by other courts. Why is this allowed?

[-] teamevil@lemmy.world 14 points 3 months ago

If you're a godamned fascist piece of shit...then you can call the shithead hotline. Clarence Thomas will personally answer the phone.

4 months at Club Fed is too much if you're the Peter Navarro.

[-] orbitz@lemmy.ca 19 points 3 months ago

I recall seeing at least one interview with this guy, he was all self righteous like his shit didn't stink, big pompous ass. Wasn't this the dude who Kushner found by looking at books on Amazon? Cause that's how all the best advisors are found.

Get fucked and eat shit, Peter

[-] Atelopus-zeteki@kbin.run 10 points 3 months ago

No, and thanks for asking.

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

The question is - why isn't tiny d in the exact same boat? I want this dirtbag to serve his time, but tiny d should be facing the same predicament.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Former Trump adviser Peter Navarro is asking the Supreme Court to let him avoid reporting to a federal prison next week to begin serving a four-month sentence for his contempt of Congress conviction.

Navarro’s attorneys argued that pausing a lower court’s ruling rejecting his bid to stay free is warranted when the person making the request is not a flight risk and is raising substantial legal questions, not simply seeking to delay.

“Navarro is indisputably neither a flight risk nor a danger to public safety should he be release pending appeal,” the attorneys said.

Navarro has been arguing that the decision by US District Judge Amit P. Mehta to not let him raise an executive privilege defense at trial was wrong and that the possibility the appeals court might reverse that decision should keep him out of prison as the court weighs his case.

Bannon also was sentenced to four months for failing to comply with a congressional subpoena in the investigation, but the presiding judge allowed the Trump ally to stay out of prison while his conviction goes through the DC Circuit Court of Appeals.

Navarro was sentenced earlier this year to four months in prison after being convicted in September of two contempt of Congress counts for not complying with a subpoena from the House select committee that investigated the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol.
