Appeals Court Upholds Steve Bannon's Conviction

Friday, May 10, 2024

A federal appeals court on Friday upheld the criminal conviction of Steve Bannon, a longtime adviser to Donald Trump, for defying a subpoena from the Jan. 6 House select committee, a ruling that could send the populist conservative strategist to prison. The ruling could send the longtime Donald Trump adviser to federal prison.

"The decision comes after federal courts " including the Supreme Court " rejected a similar bid by former Trump White House aide Peter Navarro to stave off his own four-month sentence for defying the Jan. 6 committee. Navarro is currently serving his own four-month sentence in Miami.

Bannon and Navarro worked together on a strategy they dubbed the "Green Bay Sweep," a plan to organize objections by members of Congress to electoral votes from states Biden won in 2020, delaying the process and buying time for GOP state legislatures to step in and appoint pro-Trump electors.

Couldn't happen to a more fatuous traitor.

Stinky Steve is going to prison. Maybe they'll give him the "Epstein cell".

A boy can dream.

I bet he flees to China before his report date.

I feel bad for his cell mate; Bannon looks like he smells like untreated athletes foot and jockitch, and week-old cadaver. I've smelled that last thing and it's almost as offensive as an MTG press conference. I don't care what his celly's crime was, that's cruel and unusual punishment, unless it's Combover Quisling, then it's exactly what he deserves.

I don't like the work "could."

The law, in some instances, takes forever to render judgement. There are a lot of Trump's gang members serving time in prison for the seditious riot, but Bannon still had appeals to make. Rich people's system of justice is not a lot like a poor person's system of justice.

Ha Ha!

Enjoy your three hots and cot!

Guess who's NOT going to jail.

NONE of the 27 people Trumpy has said should be indicted or jailed.

Meanwhile we are up to eight Trump associates already indicted and sentenced to prison.

With at least 19 more who have been indicted and still waiting trial(some of which have already pled guilty).

(Not to mention the thousands who have been indicted and jailed due to their actions on Jan 6th.)

Well... that's one way to drain the swamp.
