Susan McDougal got 22 months for refusing to answer three questions for Ken Starr…
Her name sounds so familiar, can’t remember what this was about.
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.
Crystal Mason got five years for voting a provisional ballot.
Five fucking years. You could guess the state and you know her race.
This guy plans a coup to overthrow democracy and oopsie four months. Don’t get me wrong, I’ll take it, but fucking hell.
If there wasn’t a minimum mandatory sentence, then this is in the judge as well as the prosecutor, both of whom have discretion.
She should’ve known better than being black and poor.
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.”
Let him rot
Wish there was more bite to this. At least a year.
Four months? Pathetic. The only way justice will be served if these traitors get shanked in prison during their short visits…
The old Chauvin treatment.
May he rot, even if it’s just for a few months…

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.
Story time:
Years ago, I interned with the local sheriff’s office. I spent most of my time there with the warrant team. They went out and arrested people with outstanding warrants. In doing so, I learned that after sentencing the convicted person voluntarily report to prison. They had to process a number of people who were sentenced to prison but never reported.
I, like you, expected people to be transferred from court to prison after sentencing. That was a shocking revelation for me.
Good to know. So my guess is this guy is never going to spend a single day in jail.
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
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Navarro was convicted in September on two counts for refusing to testify and provide documents to the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol, which issued its report and dissolved in late 2022 after Republicans won control of the House.
U.S. District Judge Amit P. Mehta handed down the sentence Thursday and also ordered Navarro to pay a fine of $9,500.
Trump referred to the report in his infamous “will be wild” tweet on Dec. 19, 2020, encouraging supporters to travel to Washington for a “Big protest” on Jan. 6.
Assistant U.S. Attorney John Crabb said before sentencing that Navarro did not have a good faith basis to invoke privilege.
Federal prosecutors referenced the case of right-wing podcaster and former White House official Steve Bannon in their sentencing memo.
“Like Stephen Bannon before him, throughout the pendency of this case, the Defendant has exploited his notoriety — through courthouse press conferences, his books, and through podcasts — to display to the public the reason for his failure to comply with the Committee’s subpoena: a disregard for government processes and the law, and in particular, the work of the Committee,” federal prosecutors wrote in a sentencing memo.
The original article contains 461 words, the summary contains 203 words. Saved 56%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
Good. Now do all the current congressmen who also refused to appear for their subpoenas. Start with Gym Jordan, please?
Awww… I hope he doesn’t accidentally fall on a sharpened toothbrush.
I hope when he becomes a “documentary” film maker a la Dinesh D’Souza. Comedy gold.
