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 court’s 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.”

1. It's difficult to make coup plans when imprisoned.

He's feeling out of the loop.

[Zipgun]

2. He should be mocked with a similar deliberate misunderstanding of the law- Even Peter Navarro thinks his sentence is too

light and should get at least an additional 30 days. I mean that is exactly the kind of thing he wanted the coup based on.

3. Peter Navarro's lawyers are not too clever!

[Vinca]

4. Guess he's not enjoying the baloney sandwiches.

5. I hope its the green dyed baloney that Sheriff Joe saved to prisoners in New Mexico.

I wonder if the pink underwear fits smugly.

[duhneece]

7. That was Arizona nt

[3Hotdogs]

19. Ah well. Has Trump designated both as shithole states?

[duhneece]

20. Probably. New Mexico is blueish

My county is red (Cowboys for Trump) but we’re fairly reliably blue as a state.

[JoseBalow]

11. He's eating well in Federal custody. Baloney sandwiches are for County Jail

[Wonder Why]

6. "Judge, I know I got life for murder but how about knocking off 2 years and adding 2 months of probation instead?"

8. Navarro could get out of jail early,...

.... and do some extra community service. Play golf all day at a publicly owned golf course.

FORE,... for freedom & fun.

9. What a baby, WAAAAAAAAAA........ My mom could have done 120 days no sweat and when she was done she'd have

everybody in there straightened out and the place would be spotless. Nobody could chop you down and chew your ass better than my mom. I miss you mom.

10. This guy better never talk like he's a tough guy ever again

Cryin' like a baby with a boo-boo.

[JoseBalow]

12. Such a whiny little snowflake!

Still crying about a short 4-month vacation in a cushy Federal Camp

[Marcuse]

13. Suck it up, buttercup. You're embarrassing the family.

[Prairie Gates]

14. Is he still whining like a little baby? Doesn't he just have two weeks left on this sentence?

Does his petulant temper tantrum never end?

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.

[prodigitalson]

15. this guy has done nothing but bitch and moan every single day for what is arguably a slap on the wrist

given his crimes in the overall scheme of things

has this douchbag been indicted in other jurisdictions?

i seem to recall arizona may have lassoed his sorry ass in their recent roundup of scalawags and ner-do-wells?

hope so

[live love laugh]

16. APPEAAALL ... despite the fact that he's probably going to be released by then.

[NanaCat]

17. Nobody in his right mind asks to serve more time.

Even in supervised release.

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.

[twodogsbarking]

18. Judge gave two short laugh snorts and said "NO".
