I remember a time in America when if you committed a crime you went to jail. And everyone who committed that same crime went to jail. And if you committed a serious crime like murder, you were kept in jail without bail. Well, those days are gone. Murderers are let out without bail, and January 6th prisoners have been in jail for more than three years with no bail and no trials. Some of the January 6th defendants are guilty of simply walking through the Capitol after the Capitol Police opened the doors for them. Meanwhile, people guilty of serious crimes are walking free.<\/p>\n
On Saturday, Red State posted an article about former Trump aide Peter Navarro. Peter Navarro is serving jail time because he ignored a congressional subpoena.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the article at Red State<\/a> reports:<\/p>\n U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes laid into Department of Justice lawyers Friday for telling DOJ Tax Division attorneys to ignore congressional subpoenas even as prosecutors sent former Trump aide Peter Navarro to prison for doing just that.<\/strong><\/p>\n Does the law apply to everyone or are only Trump supporters subject to the law?<\/p>\n The article notes a Politico report:<\/p>\n Politico<\/a> reports that she was appalled by\u00a0the blatant hypocrisy<\/a>:<\/p>\n \u201cThere\u2019s a person in jail right now because you all brought a criminal lawsuit against him because he did not appear for a House subpoena,\u201d Reyes said, referring to the\u00a0recent imprisonment of Peter Navarro<\/a>, a former Trump trade adviser, for defying a subpoena from the Jan. 6 select committee. \u201cAnd now you guys are flouting those subpoenas. \u2026 And you don\u2019t have to show up?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cI think it\u2019s quite rich you guys pursue criminal investigations and put people in jail for not showing up,\u201d but then direct current executive branch employees to take the same approach, the judge added. \u201cYou all are making a bunch of arguments that you would never accept from any other litigant.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n The article concludes:<\/p>\n The DOJ\u2019s position on this matter once again shows their blatant two-tiered view of justice\u2014Peter Navarro sits in a Miami prison cell for defying a subpoena, but Hunter Biden is walking around a free man and\u00a0enjoying the White House Easter Egg roll<\/a>\u00a0despite blowing off his own order to appear.
