Steve Bannon's conviction for contempt of Congress upheld

[Guno צְבִי]

A federal appeals court has upheld Steve Bannon's conviction for defying a Jan. 6 House committee subpoena.

In a 20-page ruling Friday, a three-judge panel of the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals dismissed each of Bannon’s four challenges to his conviction as without merit. Judge Bradley Garcia wrote in the ruling:

Bannon, a Trump White House senior aide who has continued to spread election-denying conspiracy theories on his podcast, was convicted of two counts of contempt of Congress in 2022 for failing to comply with a subpoena issued by the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 riot. He was sentenced to four months in prison, but his sentence has been suspended as his appeal proceeded.

Let hope that partisan supreme court does not stop Bannon from serving his time?!!

So will he appeal again to say the SCOTUS?

Why do we never see Democrats - who even destroy evidence - ever go to prison?

How did this appeal work out for him?

 

[QP!]

We really do need a giant Venn chart of all the various people in Trumps varied circles (Campaign, Lawyers, Trump Org, Trump Administration, etc) who went to jail and/or faced other serious sanctions for crime'ing or being unethical on his behalf.

It would be a massive graph with so many overlapping circles but it would be great visual.

So many corrupt judges and prosecutors and police, its really amazing how everyone who touches the former Trump administration ends up being corrupt and biased against them.

All of Trumps Generals, Chiefs of Staff, his VP....
