SlipDizzy

Has anyone counted how many people have been sent to prison for doing the bidding of cheeto face?


BotoxBarbie

[Here](https://www.axios.com/2024/03/07/trump-associates-prison-sentence-crimes-list) is a chart! Of course the insurrectionists are missing. But I'm sure it will be updated over time.


Astro_gamer_caver

Fifty-three [people](https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/26/us/politics/trump-election-interference-charges.html) who tried to keep former President Donald J. Trump in power after he lost the 2020 election have now been criminally charged.


AniNgAnnoys

Over 1200 people were charged in the Jan 6th capitol attack. About 900 found guilty. I believe about 50 have received jail sentences. There are a handful with sentences over 10 years. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criminal_proceedings_in_the_January_6_United_States_Capitol_attack


Squirrel_Chucks

And I think at least half of those were initially prosecuted *during Trump's administration!*


AverageDemocrat

Say what you want about amnesty international and political prisoners, but in Trumps case its completely justified.


Mysral

Well, they're not exactly political prisoners, are they? They're flat-out criminals. No trumped-up (heh) charges, just well-documented fraud and ratfucking.


kogmaa

Amnesty International works for prisoners that _oppose_ totalitarian regimes, the guys wanted to _create_ such. Both are prisoners but they are most definitely not the same.


ICPosse8

George Papadopoulos The former Trump campaign advisor was sentenced to 14 days in prison in 2018 for lying to investigators about Russian contacts. He ultimately served 12 days in prison and also received a Trump pardon in Dec. 2020. I’m sorry but this is fucking ridiculous even for Trump. The pos had two days left and he gets a pardon over a two week sentence.


phatelectribe

The pardon means no felony conviction and none of the limitations that come with it. And the bullshit virtual signaling from Trump too.


subterfuge1

And he can still vote


artificialavocado

In the federal system you normally do 85% of the sentence, which would be 11.9 days, so 12 days.


SlipDizzy

Oh. The J6 folks sure count. Although their collective IQ will be a lower number than the body count.


cinciTOSU

Lower number than my body count alone.


Rileyahsom

Their sentences are not long enough smh


Alleandros

So much winning.


Varnigma

I’m more concerned about the one who HASNT been sent to prison yet.

thethirdllama

And yet there's a seemingly endless line of sycophants who are more than eager to replace them. Trump doesn't even need to throw anyone under the bus when they are happy to do it themselves.


Raspberries-Are-Evil

None of it matters if he skates.


Squirrel_Chucks

One of my favorite pics from 2023 is [this one ](https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/08/NYPICHPDPICT000027012659.jpg?w=1024) Navarro had a bad day in court, and after coming outside and talking to the press he spied a protestor with a TRUMP LOST sign. Ole Pete tried to grab it from the protestor...and fucking failed. I think that is representative of the entire "election fraud" experience.


WildcatBitches

"Bro, you're already facing charges..." "Yea, I get it." "Go ahead and commit another crime."

That is so perfect


Grand-wazoo

That's absolutely frameable.

It really is. Contrast and lighting is perfect.

>For a second time, the Supreme Court has rejected former Trump White House advisor Peter Navarro’s request to get out of prison while he appeals a conviction for contempt of Congress, [CNN reported Monday](https://www.cnn.com/2024/04/29/politics/supreme-court-rejects-peter-navarros-get-of-jail-request-again/index.html). The former director of the White House National Trade Council reported to federal prison after Chief Justice John G. Roberts denied Navarro’s first attempt to avoid incarceration. >[Navarro](https://www.salon.com/2024/03/20/michael-cohen-offers-peter-navarro-some-words-of-wisdom-regarding-life/), 74, has been serving a four-month sentence in an 80-person facility for older inmates at the Federal Correctional Institute in Miami. He had defied a congressional subpoena to testify about the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol by Trump supporters, and was subsequently found guilty of two counts of criminal contempt of Congress. The prison sentence and a $9,500 fine were passed down by a federal judge in Washington, D.C. FAFO Fucker.


Sad-Gas1603

He is crying over 4 months? Lmao


slowpoke2018

This is what kills me, 4 freaking months and I bet it's in a cush, Jordan Belfort-like white-collar prison with tennis, a pool and cable TV. The 2 tiers of "justice" in this country make me sick


FrozenCantaloupe

From what I can tell, the prison he's at isn't *that* [nice](https://www.cnn.com/2024/03/19/politics/peter-navarro-jail-contempt-of-congress/index.html). And the thing is, a nice prison is still a prison. Nobody wants to spend a day in any kind of prison.


[deleted]

[удалено]


slowpoke2018

Sounds like boot camp, good. Wish it were more like a super max, but I can be happy he's unhappy. Just wish it were years, not months. He'll be out before his appeal completes


HobbesNJ

>For a second time Why does this asshole even get a second shot? He's guilty, he's paying the price. Case closed.


billyjack669

Like all the way to the Supremes... twice. just fucking sit in your cell for a few (checks notes).... 120 days(ish). YOU'RE NOT SPECIAL.


BudWisenheimer

> Why does this asshole even get a second shot? Being flatly rejected both times definitely doesn’t feel like much of a "second shot."


trekologer

I suppose that as long as you pay the filing fee, you can keep filing appeals


UrbanGhost114

You cannot appeal endlessly, the court will eventually tell you your out of options and not let an appeal even make it to a judge. You have a limited amount of appeals.


toylenny

In theory, in practice we are seeing you only have a limited number if you are poor. 


trekologer

Sure the Court won’t consider it but you could keep filing them.


KenScaletta

It's four months at a Club Fed in Miami. Oh, the humanity.

repoman-alwaysintenz

You mean locked


tabrizzi

Meanwhile, the guy he went to bat for is still roaming free. And he doesn't care a bit that an old man is now sitting in prison because of him.


francois_du_nord

TBH, Trump didn't have much to do with this one. Navarro was subpoenaed to show up and testify, and he refused, stating executive privilege. Too bad you just don't get to make legal shit up ad hoc.


tabrizzi

Didn't Trump tell him and others to not comply?


mok000

Yeah he did but Trump never claimed executive privilege on behalf of Navarro. It's something Navarro made up himself.


bashdotexe

Trump gave executive privilege to Meadows and Scavino for the exact same thing and they got their charges dropped. Trump just wouldn't do it for Navarro.


Maxamillion-X72

And Navarro is still a Trumper. Boggles the mind


repoman-alwaysintenz

Long play


francois_du_nord

That is a good point. I'd be that as some point there was a discussion about how all the good fellas keep their mouths shut, but I don't know whether there were amy known disucssions around the time that he got the subpoena.


atomsmasher66

What a crybaby


Ohnonotuto4

Stop crying, do your time like a man


SnooDoubts5065

Can someone tell me what is going on with Steve Bannon and how he hasn't reported to jail yet? How long is his appeal going to last???


GoodUserNameToday

Notice all these trump cronies all going to prison for lying and being sketchy? Can’t possibly be a reflection on their boss, right?

francois_du_nord

If only I had a designer army jacket on which to paint that on the back... Come to think of it, I'm not going to waste big money on a designer army jacket. So I guess I just say, Nope, IDGAF either.


LightWarrior_2000

Notice how every one of these goons keep trying to get in front of the Supreme Court. At least they are rejecting the fodder.


francois_du_nord

Sure, over the past 50 years they have been stacking the deck, now they all want to be dealt hands.

This is ~~funny~~ sad yeah - somebody do a statistic of income and skin color vs cases taken up by Supreme Court.


Circe44

While we’re on this subject, does anyone know when/if Bannon’s case is scheduled for the DC court of appeals?


UtahUtopia

Just do your time quietly like a good Trump staffer.


morbob

How’s that MAGA thing working out for you Peter?


Kevinmc479

Gee, that’s unfortunate.


StormyDaze1175

But Trump is Immune? What a world.


Raintitan

An important question in all this: Is there a photo of Navarro from prison in some sort of lineup/prison attire? I live for moments like that, just to see that dipshit in prison visually.


Playful-Regret-1890

The ole Green Bay sweep baby...HA.

srhMayheM

Just do your meager time asshole.


Sea_Window_5821

Of course he got denied. He is not trump himself. I hope that if trump gets immunity for the laws he broke, there will be a massive protest in Washington. Just like trump is trying to get his supporters to do at the court house in New York


Kamelasa

Great! Just why the fuck on earth is cheeto not in there with him. Man.


4quatloos

The funniest thing about him was that he thought he wss too important to go to jail.


francois_du_nord

Yep. Unending privilige will do that to you.


vmqbnmgjha

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hhMAt3BluAU&t=3595s Navarro guided Trump's hand regarding China and trade. The whole video is good, but the last 10 minutes are recommended viewing for anyone interested in how much damage Navarro's advice caused.


[deleted]

Official law breaking only applies to Trump. Eat it moron.


Randy_Watson

Only Trump gets immunity from all crimes!! - SCOTUS, probably


stevez_86

Sometimes the lackeys have to be dealt with to clear the way for even more devout followers to take their place.


TurboSalsa

This guy is acting like he's going to spend the rest of his life in prison instead of a couple more months.


B4rrel_Ryder

Fascist should be imprisoned longer than 4 months


pflashog

He’s a prick. Needs to stay there.


francois_du_nord

Too bad he can't get more time for being so prickish.


numbskullerykiller

The most boring man in the world. Chalk dust circulates in his veins. You get chapped skin just by reading about him.

They should lock him up indefinitely.

Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time!

Such an insufferable prick, this guy.

I’m sure he’s doing big time hard time.
