Speaking about the situation in a Friday edition of his Justice Matters YouTube series, Kirschner, a former assistant U.S. attorney and U.S. Army prosecutor turned vocally anti-Trump legal analyst, compared Navarro's fast-approaching prison sentence to Bannon, decrying the latter as making a mockery of the justice system. He also highlighted the different judges presiding over the two men's cases as a possible explanation for how things have played out.

"There's an interesting disparity in what's happened to Navarro versus what happened to Bannon, because Bannon committed virtually the same crimes," Kirschner said. "But Bannon is out, pending appeals. He hasn't had to spend one minute behind bars, yet. So why is there this disparity in the way that two convicted defendants are being treated? Well, the judge who presided over Peter Navarro's case is a judge named Amit Mehta. He is a straight-up, fair, impartial, no-nonsense judge."

He continued: "Steve Bannon committed the same crimes, was convicted of the same offenses, was handed the same sentence, four months in prison, but the judge who presided over Steve Bannon's trial is a guy named Carl Nichols. Guess who he was appointed by? He's a Trump appointee. And I think it represents a real miscarriage of justice that Steve Bannon has been permitted to be out, out and out about."
