        It’s for defying a subpoena, not contempt of congress.

        He also verbally threatened multiple people in Congress, dared them to arrest him, and threatened the judge who ordered him to jail while on air just a few weeks ago from what I remember. He’s still trying to appeal his initial conviction, but the judge said he needs to start serving for defying the subpoena now and await response while in jail like anyone else.

          Oh yeah. I was thinking contempt of Congress was the penalty for defying a subpoena.

          I must’ve tuned that part out, but it does sound like something that POS would do.

        pardoned

        It’s too bad there is not a way to have a pardon from a “president” like donnie invalidated for donnie being a traitor. Same with naming justices.

        Our Constitution needs some updates…

          Trump (or any other president) can’t issue pardons for state-level crimes, only federal crimes. So, if you’re friends with any presidents, make sure to only do crimes in DC (which isn’t a state for anyone not familiar with America’s absurd system).
