Bannon Is Convicted in Contempt Case Related to Capitol Riot Inquiry

[BidenPresident]

WASHINGTON — Stephen K. Bannon, a former top adviser to President Donald J. Trump, was convicted on Friday of two counts of contempt of Congress, months after he had defied a subpoena to answer questions from the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.

The jury deliberated for less than three hours. The guilty verdict came after weeks of heated speeches by Mr. Bannon outside the federal courthouse in Washington, a lengthy jury selection process and a speedy trial that a judge had vowed to keep from becoming “a political circus.” It also arrived one day after video of Mr. Bannon briefly appeared in a public hearing of the House committee he had snubbed, as investigators played a clip of him saying that Mr. Trump had planned to declare victory in the 2020 election, no matter what the results were.

“There is nothing political about figuring out why January 6 happened, and how to make sure it never happens again," she said. "And there is nothing political about enforcing the law against someone who, like the defendant, flouts it.”

^^^ Proof Sybil's link with reality is tenuous at best. LOL

Sybil, while most Americans do have contempt of Congress, those intelligent and sane enough to read the article know that isn't the problem Bannon is facing. I hope he does his time in prison.

No, but since you're obviously legally insane, Sybil, I can see why you are compelled to say crazy shit. Gotit.

Since Bannon is already a known felon, he will probably get the full two years in prison.

Well, unless he decides to cop a plea and start spilling his guts about all the crimes he knows that Donald Trump is guilty of.

I believe he will start singing like a songbird!

Bannon is a weak link. Keeping pounding on him and he will testify with all his knowledge.
