What about GOP members of Congress who did the same thing?

[EvillHippie]

Im tired of seeing news where the person gets convicted but then walks out and gives a statement. Big whoop. Wheres the cuffs and jumpsuit?

[maryrodger]

He could have taken the fifth if he had honored the subpoena and now he also has that humongous legal bill staring him in the face.

Green Bay Sweep Navarro's a$$ right to jail

Everyone involved in the downfall of TRUMPS untouchable CAMP seem to be so SHOCKED that the LAW applies to THEM .

Bro, you're already facing charges.

[robertdickerson]

Peter Navarro: We knew what the verdict would be before going in because we knew they wouldn’t accept any of the lies I had prepared.

[Ronc]

That was fast. Almost faster than Bannon

[jesseowens]

What worked for Eric Holder doesn't work for this guy?

[davidfreimuth]

and time to charge Jim Jordan who also ignored

[janegardener]

These people believe they are above the law. They are finding out that they are mistaken.

[-danR]

Don't let them get you down, Peter. Appeal.

Appeal all the way to the Russian Supreme Court.

[christophermott]

LOCK HIM UP! LOCK HIM UP! LCOK HIM UP!

[rubens.]

Wow! That was rather quick! So much for the "Green Bay sweep." Less than a day work of deliberation for the jury.

[godblessthelessfortunate]

Hope the sentencing judge don't allow him to walk pending appeal like the Bannon Judge.

[eluckey]

I love this for him.
It's time he's held accountable for his Behavior.

[smar]

Crooks put in positions of power always break the law and then claim immunity or ‘I made a mistake’ throw him in Jail and throw the key away

[KrustyKlown]

"Bro, you're already facing ..." 1-2 years in prison.

[mercedeshaecker]

Peter Navarro was just crying about how much this is costing him and ask people to contribute but he’s going to try and appeal which is gonna cost him a whole lot more. If a Republican is opening up their mouth, they’re lying.
