Donald Trump's former chief strategist Steve Bannon is headed to prison after an appeals court upheld his conviction for contempt of Congress.
He was handed a four-month sentence in 2022 for refusing to give evidence to a congressional investigation into the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
But it was put on hold as he appealed, saying that he acted in good faith by following legal advice.
The decision came on Friday.
'Bannon insists that 'wilfully' should be interpreted to require bad faith and argues that his non-compliance does not qualify because his lawyer advised him not to respond to the subpoena,' wrote Judge Bradley Garcia...
Bannon was one of a string of Trump allies who refused to obey a subpoena to testify before the House investigation into the Jan. 6 violence, claiming 'executive privilege' protected conversations and other information related to the presidency.
He was held in contempt by the House on a largely party lines votes in October 2021.
And sentencing Judge Carl Nichols said he had no grounds to claim privilege, given that he had left the White House years before the events on Jan. 6.
'Some of the information sought by the subpoena is information under which no conceivable claim of executive privilege could've been made,' Nichols said.
He was handed two four-month sentences for two charges of contempt, to run concurrently, and fined $6500.
Bannon joined the Trump campaign in 2016 and went to the White House as chief strategist.
But he lost a power struggle and was soon ousted. Since then he has become a key voice of Trump's MAGA movement.

After all, it's "democracy".
I’ve been wondering why Bannon is not on the Navarro greased skids.
Trump /Bannon 2024!
Bannon did this to himself. He could have showed up, invoked the 5th Amendment, and told them all off while he was doing it.
So in other words, he didn’t do anything wrong until he told the JSix Gangbanger Committee to go take a flying leap at a rolling donut. A government that creates reasons to throw its innocent people in jail is a government that needs to be voted out even if WE have to steal the election, DemonRAT style to do it.

TRUMP MUST GO SAVAGE ON THE DEEP STATE-NO MERCY

The Communist version of Democracy.

I may be wrong, but I seem to recall that Roger Stone took this approach.
Just so we’re all clear these laws only apply to Republican administrations do don’t get excited thinking this mesns Hunter or anyone like that may get the same treatment
Good luck with that. Not saying it can't be done though. The best non violent way is to not comply or assist it it any way.
The movie 'Tombstone' had a lot of great lines in it. In this situation the line "I don't think I'll let you arrest us today, Behan." comes to mind.
Hunter would not get the same treatment because his daddy would pardon him.
The three-stooge panel on the court of appeals for the district of columbia are Bradley N. Garcia [Biden stooge], Cornelia Pillard [Obama stooge], and Justin R. Walker [McConnell stooge].
Walker grew up in a Democratic household, though his mother had supported Republican Mitch McConnell when Walker was 8 years old. Walker became active in Republican politics at an early age. While a student at Louisville's St. Xavier High School, Walker's step-grandfather arranged to have him interview Mitch McConnell for a class paper, and Walker later interned for McConnell as a college student.
If they can ignore the statutes of limitations to go after Trump for an imaginary sexual assault, we can ignore the statutes of limitations in going after Eric “Fast and Furious” Holder.
“Oh. Merrick, I apologize; I forgot you were there. You may go now.”
I'd throw Hussien (no presidential immunity) and Hillary in there too.
The deep state needs an enema...
Bannon is a big boy, he will serve his time and be out in time to join the next Trump Administration.
We all have clarity now.
Whereas before we might have trusted the FBI, the DOJ and our members of Congress and approached them with an extended hand and a willingness to assist in whatever. That said, we now see them for the duplicitous scumbags that they are.
Adjust accordingly.
Garland certainly gets away with contempt of congress.
Let’s never forget the scumbaggery words of Traitor Roberts:
““We do not have Obama judges or Trump judges, Bush judges or Clinton judges,” Mr. Roberts said . “What we have is an extraordinary group of dedicated judges doing their level best to do equal right to those appearing before them.”
Weird how demoncraps never go to jail for contempt of Congress.
