Today was not a particularly good day for justice. Although Peter Navarro was sentenced to four months in prison for contempt of Congress, the judge DID NOT order him to be taken into custody. This is reminiscent of Steve Bannon, who was also sentenced - back in October 2022 - to four months in prison for contempt of Congress, but has yet to to serve a single day of his sentence. Perhaps worst of all, Donald Trump took the stand today in his defamation trial in New York and, after Judge Kaplan told Trump he was prohibited from calling E. Jean Carroll a liar, Trump IMMEDIATELY called E. Jean Carroll a liar. Yet there was no sanction, no accountability, no contempt finding. Today was not a god day for justice or for the equal application of the laws of our nation. But tomorrow is another day . . .
