Peter Navarro’s contempt of Congress conviction has “everybody in that frigging White House” feeling as if they are grappling with “massive legal bills and … prison time”, the ex-Donald Trump administration official said on Monday.

Navarro’s remarks came in an interview with the far-right media outlet Newsmax in which he used the term “SOBs” – short for sons of bitches – to refer to the US justice department prosecutors who secured a guilty verdict against him last week.

Lamenting that prosecutors had pushed to “stick me in leg irons … [and] with half a million dollars of legal bills”, Navarro pledged to seek a reversal of his conviction from an appellate court.

“We’re gonna win this fight – that’s why God created the appeals court,” Navarro told the host Eric Bolling.

1. That is because they tried to overthrow the government. What did they expect?

4. He gets served with a subpoena and he ignores it. What did he expect?

If you can’t do the time, don’t do the crime.

6. For Navarro, he is a complete wacko. He caused all his own problems

9. All he had to do was appear.....

He could have turned over docs and claimed the fifth...

Instead, he listened to Stan Woodward to protect tiny.

He is only in legal jeopardy because he is an idiot.

13. In his case it was specifically because he refused

to show up to testify under oath after being legally subpoenaed to do so. The facts and the law are not in dispute.

2. Oh, curious, god created the appeals court? I did not know that....

How did these idiots "lead" this country for 4 years? We are so lucky that worse didn't happen and it obviously could have with these shameless idiots.

3. Gawd he is a dumb pos. How did he ever do anything in life?

5. That's exactly how they should be feeling, after what they did.

I'd love to hear why they think the fat orange headed buffoon is worth the cost they're going to pay.

7. Hey, if the shoe fits...

8. Typical Repuke

Blame everybody else for their dirty deeds which they brought on themselves. I’ve also noticed they never say they are sorry. Gee I have family members who fit that description.

10. Hey, Navarro!

God did not create the appeals court.

The U.S. Constitution created it.

Idiot.

11. The right wingers believe the law only applies to certain people. Not themselves.
