Federal prosecutors are recommending Peter Navarro, a former White House economic adviser to former President Donald Trump, be sentenced to six months in prison after being convicted on two counts of contempt of Congress.
Navarro was convicted in September when a Washington, DC, jury determined he “willfully failed to comply with the House January 6 Committee’s subpoena when he refused to testify before the committee and produce documents,” as Breitbart News noted at the time.

They won’t stop until every one of Trump’s associates are in jail. They won’t even stop then.
They’ll stop when Trump himself is in jail. Maybe.
Lock Dr. Jill up.
If Biden was even one percent an American president, he would pardon this great public servant.
Kinda like the current pResident's kid?? Or the FBI upper brass??
You can get 6 months for just saying “hi” to Trump.
They’re coming for us next. That’s why they’re wanting reports on bank transactions with Christian or patriotic themes.
We have car-jackers on their fourth offense that get less than that.
And Hunter Biden............................
Sick loathsome cretins, every last one of these traitors.
If they jail Trump the flood gates will open and they will come for everyone they hate.
Name me an honest, intelligent, perceptive person who does feel contempt for Congress.
You mean like Humper Biden?
There was a way he and Steve Bannon could have avoided this situation, but they both chose another more confrontational path.
Trump was willing to waive executive privilege, and both could have testified before the committee without disclosing anything that was privileged.
The other thing they could have done is actually show up, they refused to even show up at the hearings.
Once they got before the committee just plead the 5th amendment to every question and refuse to talk.
The entire thing is a joke, but in this situation Navarro and Bannon both chose to be defiant and it’s going to cost them not only a short jail sentence but a ton in legal fees.
And Hunter hasn’t been arrested for not showing up when subpoenaed.
6 months for Contempt of Congress.
Under some other sentences....
By offense type, the median time served is 17 months for drug trafficking and 10 months for drug possession. This report is based on NCRP data from 44 states.
....
About three-quarters of violent offenders released
from state prison in 2016 served at least one year
before initial release.
from US Dept. of Justice
By that standard, I’m sure many of us should be serving several years for the level of OUR contempt of Congress.
He should sue his lawyer for bad legal advice.
If republican prosecutors even tried this crap we’d never hear the end of the screaming - including from Republicans!
