Former Trump White House trade adviser Peter Navarro on Wednesday lost a too-clever-by-half attempt to get out of prison early.
Last week, Navarro filed an emergency motion for resentencing with the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, requesting an additional 30-day sentence of supervised release on top of the 120-day prison sentence he is currently serving for contempt of Congress.
U.S. District Judge Amit P. Mehta described the logic behind the unusual request in a 3-page order denying the request as off-base.
He asks the court to add 30 days of supervised release to his original sentence, the courts order reads, so that he can secure early release based on time credits earned under the First Step Act through his participation in prison programming.

This fucking tough guy used to wag his finger at the cameras and peacock like he was entering an MMA ring. He's been absolutely bawling about 90 days of the easiest time in the entire federal system. It's truly unbelievable to see a faux tough guy so thoroughly undressed.

But if he thinks his sentence was too short, then maybe the judge will oblige him by keeping him in jail to serve those 30 extra days.
Not that it will happen, but it would be delicious schadenfreude if it did.
