Steve Bannon's Conviction Upheld: Facing Prison Time

There’s lots of things Gym Jordan fails to do.

 

After 18 years in Congress he’s failed to sponsor a single Bill that has been passed.

 

He’s not too sharp at attending when subpoenaed to do so either.

 

 

What I've learned in the past three years, is that Congressional subpoenas, and referrals to the DOJ, have no meaning. Better stop with wasting time is my advice.

You're a poor learner. Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro are headed to the Pokey for ignoring Congressional Subpoenas, and referrals to the DOJ are examined on their merits and charges are either laid or the referral is dismissed based on lack of evidence or likelihood of non-conviction. 

Seeing as you have issues with the law, how do you feel about Hunter Biden's gun charges? You reckon that he should ignore the Subpoenas and DOJ referrals? Do you think the gun charges he's up against are constitutional?

What you probably learned in the past 3 years was that only Trump's loyalists defied subpoenas or told to defy by Trump. Deliquents shouldn't be rewarded and rightfully they are in jail or going to jail. They are afraid to tell the truth or afraid to incriminate Trump or in Steve Bannon case, it was an opportunity to grift from his audiences.

To me it doesn't matter who defies a Congressional subpoena. What matters is, what is it worth, if most give you the middle finger or delay the process for years. As politics go in America, every two years the flags are changed in the House, so a bit of delay always works, if DoJ doesn't cooperate and hands it over to the courts, for whatever reason.

The Jan6 committee subpoenaed Bannon, Navarro, Meadows, Clark, Scavino. DoJ only prosecuted Bannon and Navarro. Why?

DoJ, or maybe more accurate, Special Counsel Smith chose to only investigate and indict Trump, because of speed. Well, we now know how that will end. 

Special Counsel or DoJ thought it best to let Bannon, Navarro, Eastman, Meadows, Clark, Flynn, etc, etc., off the hook.

All members of Congress are supposedly out of bounds for DoJ, with the exception of rep Perry, whose phone has been confiscated. And that's it.

We're almost four years after the failed coup, and there's nothing tangible to show that any of the plotters face consequences. Yes, two guys four months in jail (possibly?) for contempt of Congress.

A bit embarrassing I'd say.

This may be a difficult concept for you, but Steve Bannon has been sentenced to prison. If he does not appeal, he goes to prison.

In his defense, MAGA-world and reality are two vastly different universes. And never the twain shall meet….

He seems to like doing his double pump dance to the Village People's YMCA.  Hey, what is that song about anyway? 

 

[Danderman123]

The real problem for Steve Bannon is his NY trial for fraud. If convicted, that would be his second offense.

Not two tiered at all unless you are a member of the MAGA cult. Entirely different matters

There is this thing called "executive privilege", a concept that you have recently forgotten about.

Glad to hear that Steve is getting jail time. It is about time.

The full transcripts have already been published.

There is absolutely no need for the recordings, though I’m sure the Republicans would like to get ahold of them to  cut, splice to place comments and statements out of context.

 

Transcripts are means by which recorded testimony is presented in courts and depositions.

 

There is absolutely no case for the the Republicans to be given the recordings.

His delay tactics have worked against him.

 

He’s going to be in the slammer just as he was hoping to grift on the election preparations.

 

He should make good use of his ‘time-out’ and prepare for his upcoming criminal trial in NY.

When will someone come forward with Donald's Russian "Pee"  tapes?

Deep fake is a Republican wet dream.  They can now actually create the alternate reality they have been talking about all these years.  Once the more bleeding edge stuff becomes easy enough for the MAGA juice drinkers to create their own hard-to-spot fakes from the comfort of their trailer parks you will see this stuff popping up all over the place.

This sounds like a threat

Steve Bannon Warns Former FBI Boss: 'You Should Be Worried'

 

"First off, everything that's going to be done is going to be by the Constitution, under the rule of law," Bannon said.

"And McCabe, you should be worried. You should be very worried. But also understand this, brother, we have extradition treaties with virtually every country in the world. And you go ahead and run and run as far as you want. We're going to come and get you."
