Federal prosecutors on Tuesday requested the judge overseeing ex-Donald Trump adviser Steve Bannon's criminal contempt of Congress case to order that he begin his four-month prison sentence, after an appeals court last week upheld his conviction.
Prosecutors said there is no legal basis for Judge Carl Nichols to continue the stay on Bannon serving his sentence after the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals' conclusive ruling that rejected the basis for Bannon's appeal on all grounds.
"Consequently, there is no longer a 'substantial question of law that is likely to result in a reversal or an order for a new trial,'" prosecutors wrote in their filing Tuesday.

This thread is very confusing. It’s supposed to be about Steve Bannon, but it turned into a vice presidential thread and everybody’s talking about DeSantis. Crazy.

Bannon should say “Sure, I’ll start serving my sentence as soon as Eric Holder serves his”

Yes, I totally agree 100%. Trump can’t screw this up again or the domestic enemies of the United states (formerly called the deep state) will pull the same crap on him that they did during his term and now. He needs a pitbull as AG, a guy who takes action and DeSantis is certainly that. This is extremely important, he can’t afford another Sessions or Barr nor can the nation.

No. But I love how he’s running education in Florida. He’s cleaning it up.

You know DeSantis is way more conservative than trump. I think everyone on earth would agree with that.

“You know DeSantis is way more conservative than trump.”
So am I. But, like DeSantis, I would be inferior to Trump when it comes to “President-ing”.

We’re just trying to see what job DeSantis could possibly do during trump’s presidenting.

“Gotta get Bannon OFF THE AIR ahead of the upcoming stolen election.”
BINGO.
Back in the 80’s I went to visit relatives in communist countries.
Will we go through what they went through?

Ken PAxton as AG would go after these fascist reprobate, espionage-treasonous bastids and put them in orange jump suits.

Rules are meant to be broken. Give me character, ethics and a spine of steel as opposed to a crooked, unethical , weasily effing attorney i.e. Garland.

I remember Eric Holder pretty much gave Congress the finger when he was found in contempt. As usual, our party didn’t want the vision of a black AG being arrested and thrown in jail.
