Federal judge sentences Steve Bannon to four months in prison
The Hill ^ | 10/21/2022 | REBECCA BEITSCH -

Posted on 10/21/2022 9:11:17 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Stephen Bannon was sentenced to four months in prison Friday for his defiance of a subpoena from the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol.

The onetime Trump White House strategist was subpoenaed by the panel in September of last year after he failed to provide either the required documents or testimony as he railed against the committee. Bannon claimed that he was unable to comply with the committee’s subpoena due to executive privilege. However, the panel sought to speak to Bannon about events that occurred well after his short stint in the White House.

Federal District Judge Carl Nichols ruled that Bannon would also pay a fine of $6,500 alongside his four-month sentence, allowing Bannon to serve jail time for each contempt of Congress charge concurrently.

So that’s it then.

The Rat party imprisons its opposition.

Holder smirks from his comfy home.

The Gulag operators gleefully drag another dissident to a cage.

Every one of those Rats knows what they did on November 4, 2020. But not one of them is prosecuted.

Nope. Communist show trial followed by chains for the victims of The Big Steal.

No one may impugn Swalwell’s character. Even when he’s literally in bed with the enemy. All must bow down.

GTH, Rats.

If they lock Bannon up in the DC Gulag, his guards will beat him to death. The traitor filth in the Regime are counting on it.

Political attack
Political sentence

Worse than the Hollywood Ten, because It’s clear now that the democrats, with the help of Antifa, Nancy Pelosi film crew, and FBI agonists, really ran Jan 6th.

PS. Has Eric Holder been sentenced yet?

He should have firebombed a pro-life center instead.

Sentenced to federal prison for exercising his right to free speech.

Don’t mock Big Brother or any of his minions or they’ll come after you too. That’s the message here. There’s a deep chill in the air in America right now.

Yes, a travesty, this is considered more criminal than lying to the FBI.

Two tiered justice must be eliminated.

That’s the minimum mandatory sentence, 60 days per count, IIRC. And the judge let him out while he appeals. The judge knows the score, and what a crock the case is, just like they didn’t do anything to Holder.

According to the January 6ers who are locked up where Bannon is going, the food is moldy and they piss in it. Toilets don’t work.

District of Stooges court.

If he wants to move up to the circuit court, he'll rule like a DNC stooge.
