He said "nothing will shut me up" but he refuses to testify under oath.

Ignoring congressional subpoenas is a crime. Gym Jordan needs to answer for his crime

[Ore]

Being given a month to report to prison showcases the true two tiered justice system in this country. Us normies could never even imagine being given that privilege

[Ichimokulover]

The judge should have ordered immediate confinement. So tired of white collar criminals running around free as if they’re royalty.

[dorislo]

Delay, delay and delay. American justice system is a joke

[YIKESMF]

I spent 99 days in jail for 20 dollars worth of dirt weed. 7 yr suspended sentence. Weekly UAs for 6 months. Supervised probation for 1 year. It cist me my kid, my job, my home my life stopped. This guy gets 4 months. From years ago.

[matthewoliva]

4 months just a slap on the wrist what a joke.

[sistersnake]

what about Jim Jordan who also ignored a congressional subpoena ?

[Bogieking]

That SOB should've been in jail long long ago. It just reinforces the fact that we have a two tiered justice system in the USA.

[Roogs]

The irony of claiming "nothing is going to shut me up" immediately after being ordered to report to prison for refusing to obey a lawful subpoena requiring his to testify. So apparently a subpoena would make him shut up.

[kbyim]

How about a BOGO and throw in Jim Jordan. They can go hand-in-hand.

[ExpatCollin]

Why does he get a choice? They let you just "show up" by a certain date? Tell me there isn't a two tier justice system.

[hadenough]

Just disgusting that these people are not remanded directly to prison after sentencing like regular citizens

[BobPeterson]

Couldn’t happen to a more deserving guy.

[strangerbrothers]

He's had two years to put his affairs in order. He should have been taken into custody to start his sentence immediately. End the two-tiered justice system that kowtows to the rich and powerful.

[bri]

He should’ve been in prison a long time ago! I hope stays in prison for a long time.

[jamesl]

A poor man or black man wouldn’t be told to report next month.
They would be in jail now

[styner]

He says prison won't shut him up but he's going to prison for not testifying.

[Chrash]

2 years and the appeal isn't finished. What a joke of a justice system.

[jarvis]

I’ve seen guys go right to jail because they couldn’t cover a $100 traffic ticket. But this convict gets another month after stalling for several months.
