 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. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13404541/steve-bannon-jail-appeal-trump-january-6.html Supreme Court rejects Bannon's appeal. https://justthenews.com/government/courts-law/steve-bannon-has-report-prison-monday-supreme-court-rejects-his-appeal |

The J6 committee was an illegally constituted committee (it was not ok'd with Jordan, Pelosi made her own rules for selection of committee members). Anything coming out of it should not be considered valid.

I like Bannon. Wouldn't mind having a beer with him. He would fit in here in GD.
He served as a Navy veteran, deployed at sea, IIRC. Bannon is one of the few politicians that seems to be tough enough to do okay in prison. He certainly doesn't waste his time/money on grooming and hair gel. |

Bannon is fucked. He’s trying like hell to flex his muscles / influence. He has Neither of the two. I listen to his show though. He’s not wrong on issues. It’s just that influence is not in his formula . He’s toast.

Merrick Garland’s DOJ routinely advises federal officers of the Biden Admin to ignore congressional subpoenas unless it’s one the DOJ says “okay” to first.
DOJ attys just got their asses chewed out recently by a D.C. federal district for just that reason, …. Subpoena rules for thee but not for us. |

There will be no end to this political weaponization of the justice system.
It will only get worse going forward and it will eventually result in civil disorder, which is probably what they want.
