Top Trump Aide Ordered to Prison

From this article on former Trump White House aide Peter Navarro:

(Navarro) has been ordered to report to a Miami prison on March 19 to begin serving a four month sentence for defying a subpoena from the Jan. 6 select committee.

Navarro, who is urging a federal appeals court to stay the sentence while he attempts to overturn his conviction, faces the prospect of becoming the first top adviser to Donald Trump to serve jail time for an offense related to the effort to subvert the 2020 election.

It’s easy to see why a person of Navarro’s stature would thumb his nose at the criminal justice system when it comes to the prosecution of Trump and his top people after their attempts to overthrow the U.S. government.  After all, what’s Steve Bannon doing just now?  He’s a convicted felon whose crime was nearly identical to Navarro’s, and Bannon’s out there drinking fine wine, while planning how to re-install Trump into the presidency.
