Former Trump White House trade adviser Peter Navarro on Thursday was sentenced to four months in prison following his conviction in September on two counts of congressional contempt after he defied a subpoena from the former House select committee that probed the Jan. 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol riot.
Both counts carry mandatory minimum sentences of one month in prison, but prosecutors said in a filing last week that the amount of time "is insufficient to account for, punish, and deter the Defendant's criminal offense," according to ABC News.

When the next wave of investigations start, seeing who thinks they can ignore a subpoena will be quite comical. Hunter had better not be trying more games. I doubt they will offer more than 1 do over.

They pushed the Hunter Biden subpoena, and he's going to testify behind closed doors. Interesting, he was sitting right there, in the House, and agreed to be put under oath for all to hear his testimony, and yet, Republicans said no.

Wait, you mean Jim Jordan and a few other's day is coming?

But they were ready to enforce a subpoena to have him testify behind closed doors. Explain that to me?
Personally, if you get a subpoena, you obey it. Take the fifth or whatever, but you show up.
You and I would be locked up if we disobeyed a subpoena. Once again, there are definitely two justice systems. Not Dem and Republican, but us and those with money and connections. WAKE UP!

There is the new standard.
Will we see it applied equally? Or will it depend on how (D)ifferent one cares to frame it and who they vote for?
We already know the answer to that question.
