Federal prosecutors sought six months in prison for Navarro for criminal contempt of Congress, which carries a mandatory minimum of one month behind bars.
Navarro appealed his conviction immediately after sentencing.
Anyone know if he will begin serving time immediately or if he’s free until his appeals run out? I know if you or I were sentenced, we’d go straight to jail, but that doesn’t seem to happen for the ruling class.
Years ago, I interned with the local sheriff’s office. I spent most of my time there with the warrant team. They went out and arrested people with outstanding warrants. In doing so, I learned that after sentencing the convicted person voluntarily report to prison. They had to process a number of people who were sentenced to prison but never reported.
I, like you, expected people to be transferred from court to prison after sentencing. That was a shocking revelation for me.

Good to know. So my guess is this guy is never going to spend a single day in jail.
