Four months? He deserves four YEARS for his shit-fer-brains economic advice alone.

Navarro was convicted in September, 2023. It took over 4 months for this sentencing, and now he is free on appeal The wheels of justice turn so slowly for the privileged.

Ari Melber is so good at making these idiots think he’s their friend and then gently eviscerating them while simultaneously allowing them to hang themselves

Sure, we’ll see. I’m guessing it will get tied up in appeals forever but at least we’re getting somewhere, I guess.

Ignoring a subpoena and mishandling OUR funds while doing his "all tbe best people" job were just a few of the highlights of this ignoramus in the past 4 years...which should be his sentence... not four months 2 years from now. 😐

Mehta hates him so bad he let him out on PR pending appeal. I was once fifteen minutes late to court for a $25 ticket and the judge made me pay a $250 bond to stay out of jail on the spot. So I don't think he really hates him. All a these judges are pro MAGAT. They give MAGATs break after break after break after break. Well see next week hopefully but I bet the judge in the fraud case levies a piddly penalty.

Mehta should've told him at the end of trial that he should get his affairs in order and be prepared to be taken into custody at sentencing.

Guilty means 'we're done and now you are going to jail'. Releasing people on PR post conviction is bullshit.

How soon can we file a motion to make sure he stays there?

This is so stupid. If you don't want to testify, all you have to do is show up, take the Fifth, and then at least you're not in contempt of Congress. How hard is that?

Navarro seemed so indignant and outraged, I can't imagine what he expected would happen.

He's stupid.

A lot of Confederate Republicans are stupid as well as arrogant -- but they never get challenged because they surround themselves with nothing but sycophants so it never occurs to them that they might need to know something in addition to what they think or believe they know, and also because nobody ever tells them "No" ... so that's how they get caught in these kinds of messes (though even these messes are minimal, as the comment below ours indicates. If they were Black men or any other men of color they'd be in prison for 20 years if they were jailed for contempt of Congress).

I do remember that Navarro lost his mind when he was taken into custody . You'd think he was wrongfully sentenced to a firing squad, the way he carried on.

It is almost unimaginable for normal people such as you and I, the imperious sense of entitlement these wingnut scum have developed. And, considering the hesitancy, the wavering of those charged with enforcing the laws, to enforce them against these arrogant pricks, they are not entirely delusional. They are spoiled children who have never been told NO in any meaningful way, so they go through life ever seeking further boundaries to overstep. One can hardly blame them, because being amoral and without any self-awareness lets them bully all those with the power to bring them to heel, into digging out the rarely used kid gloves and dropping all the arbitrary ferocity they daily exercise on hapless nobodies.

Light sentences like this and Bannon's make me sick. Lock the up.

Two simple words that should ALWAYS be in the same sentence:

'Wackjob' and 'Prison'

"Steve Bannon was also sentenced to prison for four months for the same crime, but of course he’s appealing, so his body might have fully decomposed by the time he actually sees the inside of a jail cell. We’ll see if that happens with Navarro too."

I doubt it. he looks like the kind of bleached dried-up prune who will survive forever, as long as he's kept dry.
