Washington Chief Justice John Roberts on Monday rejected an attempt by former Trump White House trade adviser Peter Navarro to stay out of prison as he pursues an appeal of his conviction for contempt of Congress, clearing the way for him to begin serving a four-month sentence in Florida on Tuesday.
Navarro was charged and found guilty after he refused to comply with a subpoena from the House select committee that investigated the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol. Congressional investigators were seeking documents and testimony from the former White House official tied to his post 2020-election conduct and efforts to delay the certification of Electoral College votes.
He was sentenced to four months in prison in January.

The statute of limitations has expired on all but the very end of trumps term.
Clearly the doj has no intention of doing anything. The next gop administration will be chock full of the same characters that were never brought to justice in the last.
