Hours after he was convicted on a misdemeanor contempt of Congress charge, former Trump advisor Steve Bannon made an appearance on 'Tucker Carlson Tonight' to declare: 'If I go to jail, so be it.'
During the interview on Friday night, Carlson asked the former Breitbart editor how he felt about the possibility that he might be going to prison.
Bannon remained defiant, telling the host: 'If I go to jail, I go to jail. I will never back off a second like I spent eight years as a Naval officer. I've committed my life to this program to get this done. '

I’ve never heard of anybody being charged convicted or sentenced for contempt of congress.
holding congress in contempt should be a point of pride
Did the judge err deliberately in order to send this case to the appellate court so rabid leftists wouldn’t riot in front of his house?
Well you certainly didn’t hear of Eric Holder or Lois Lerner going to prison, did you?

Of course not. They belong to the ruling Party in D.C.
Its plain to see with the exception of the zombies and lemmings who follow them that we have been had and most disturbing of all is most of GOP for not standing up because they to are dirty
The left better hope he appeals and overturns this. The precedent set will find them in the same boat soon enough.
I think that was one of the charges they got G Gordon Liddy on when he refused to discuss classified information with them
I bet that the judge hands Bannon a 30 day minimum security sentence (or house arrest) so Bannon does not appeal the ruling.
Denying Bannon a defense is very curious. Especially since the judge is a Trump appointee.
I know it’s Federal versus a State crime but at the same time Bannon’s gets convicted of refusing to talk to Congress, a man attempts to stab Lee Zeldin, a Republican and walks out of jail without having to post a bond
Doesn't the treatment of Eric Holder set some precedent here?
They will regret what they have done to Steve Bannon when the same political force is used against all of the Leftist criminals in Congress.
This is a fight to the end. There is no living with this un-American Leftist trash. They are lawless and have to be kicked out of power and forced to flee the country.
I just hope that #1 they don’t cheat. And we sweep the midterms.
#2 I hope that the republicans are actually republicans and not rinos. If they are America first then they may investigate this committee and a few other things.
What the Nazis did to the Jews, Democrats are doing to us.
It is the natural right of every American to hold in contempt a contemptable congress
G Gordon Liddy, or so j heard.
It is going to be interesting to see what Steve Bannon reveals about the Demonicrats.
I’m ignorant on this. How is it constitutional that a bunch of congress critters can judicially put someone in jail?
