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 post their attempts to overthrow the U.S. government following Trump’s loss in the 2020 election. 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 planning how to re-install Trump into the presidency.
Somewhere, there must be someone who actually profited from his association with Trump, though we’ve yet to meet him.

Trump Orders His Justice Department to Investigate a Political Opponent — Zzzzzzz . . . .
An authoritarian’s using his power to suppress his political opponents is at the very top of his to-do list. This has been proven to be true not just by the fascists of the 20th Century, but for at least the last 2500 years, as Plato observed.
If this weren’t the case, i.e., if what Trump is doing were something that was at least somewhat novel and could have possibly come as a surprise, we could have more sympathy for America’s throwing its democracy into the toilet.
But we’ve seen this movie before, and we all know how it ends.
We have precious little time left to remove him.
Trump Orders His Justice Department to Investigate a Political Opponent — Zzzzzzz . . . .
There are many ways to illustrate the corruption that is the Trump administration, but perhaps the most hard-hitting is the use of the Justice Department as an instrument to punish the president’s enemies.
It takes a fearless and honest person like Jack Smith put a spear through this crap.
