Bannon remains free while appeal is in process. Four months for not cooperating? 30 days of house arrest at most.
Dems knew he wouldn't get real jail time.
Just trying to be their own miserable selves.
Again.
And yet, it was a Trump appointed judge who decided this case was moving forward and decided on Bannon's fine and sentence. What he did was, in fact, a crime, even if Bannon supporters don't think it should be.
That’s right. Red Tsunami November 8th. Wife and I Already early voted down ballot Republican in Georgia.
My husband and son in the military already voted via mail in ballot but I like the excitement of election day voting so I am going then and I don't care how long I have to stand in line.
It was apparently for his refusing a subpoena from the Jan. 6 committee - a show trial disguised as an "investigation", staged by the Democrats where none of the accused were allowed to testify, and were never allowed to question the witnesses against them.
In 3rd world countries such a procedure would more correctly be called a "kangaroo court" - commonly used by dictators as a weapon to destroy their political opponents.
Steve Bannon sentenced to 4 months in jail for contempt of Congress

Former top Trump White House advisor Steve Bannon was sentenced Friday to four months in jail for defying a subpoena from the congressional probe of the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot. A U.S. District judge also fined Bannon $6,500. But he ruled that Bannon will not have to serve the sentence until an expected appeal plays out.
Democrats wanted the court to sentence Bannon to six months in jail — the top end of the federal sentencing guidelines range — and the maximum fine of $200,000.
A right-wing media figure and onetime close ally of former President Donald Trump, Bannon “consistently acted in bad faith†as he tried to impede the House select committee’s investigation, Democrats argued.
All it means is that a key Democrat will have to be found in Contempt of Congress when Republicans takeover.
And yet, it was a Trump appointed judge who decided this case was moving forward and decided on Bannon's fine and sentence. What he did was, in fact, a crime, even if Bannon supporters don't think it should be.
How could anyone let criminals get away with ignoring the law like you seem to be advocating?
I ask myself that every time I hear about some leftist district attorney dropping charges for a violent criminal in the name of "social justice".
