Steve Bannon’s lawyer presented D.C. Circuit judges with a cornucopia of defenses Thursday as the former Trump White House advisor attempts to get his contempt of Congress conviction and accompanying prison sentence overturned.
America’s most obviously alcoholic says wha?
Lock him up
Oh just hang him already. Bannon is human IBS.
Bannon could have negotiated a lesser sentence and saved his lawyer costs. Then serve a short stint and be a martyr for the cause. “Messy Mandela” would at least be able to now sleep at night.
It will be a great day for America when this miscreant goes the way of his mentor, Breitbart.
Skeevy Stevie should just report for sentencing; at least he will get a bath and some clean clothing. And, he can GFH.
If they work fast – it’s an easy case – we could have an opinion by the end of next month. Guesstimate another 60 days or so for motion for rehearing and rehearing en banc gets you to February. 90 days after that to petition SCOTUS for cert., so he’s up to May. Government opposition in June, Bannon’s reply in July. Court doesn’t start having conferences again until October, but that should be an easy denial of the petition. So maybe a reporting date in time for Christmas 2024?
When this was delayed last fall to this summer it smelled and having it being a year now is a travesty.
I hope the spaghetti fights back.
Mr. Fearless BraveHeart & Chaos-Maker with the big mouth for getting Others to run into the breach of society’s institutions and thus trash them has sure turned into a big P••sy when it is his turn to serve some jail-time for messing with the System. Thus surprising nobody.
His time in the federal pen will toughen him up a bit for Sing Sing when his inevitable NY fraud conviction takes effect.
This is a perfectly normal timeline for an appeal after judgment in federal court.
His NY criminal fraud trial is set for May 2024, so he could very well be in state prison first.
“These members of the committee, evidenced, in my view at least, in their press releases and press statements, [made] a decision to get Bannon rather than accommodate him,” Schoen argued.
Good defense to get the verdict tossed…NOT ! Yes spaghetti hit the wall and slid down to the floor.
Bannon’s defense that Costello told him that he didn’t need to comply with the subpoena because it was unconstitutional
It seems to me there are indeed privileges that could apply.
This sounds to me like Bannon intended to do what he did regardless of the legality of it. Now, he’s trying to use the law to make up a “Yeah, I meant that” as his reason.
Donald’s little poodle.
With robust marinara and a couple of meatballs to the head.
Pretty lame, Steverino…
Well, OK, if that’s the case. He’ll be a hollowed-out, well-thrashed penitent, ready to work on his poetry, ping-pong skills, and new-found religiosity when finally thrust into the fed-pen. That justice of this sort takes so damn long is ridiculous. It’s a bleeping subpoena violation, not The Scopes Trial.
So is there even a possibility of Banon reporting to prison before 11/05/24? 
And throw away the key!
