When Steve Bannon faces sentencing this morning, before federal judge Carl Nichols (a Trump appointee), DOJ will be asking for a sentence of 6 months of custody.
Has there ever been a time, before this, where we wondered if the law would be followed because of who appointed the judge? I can't ever remember reading about such important cases, and one of the major concerns is whether the judge is so nakedly partisan that she/he will disregard the law.
Thank you for giving us a libretto so we can enjoy the nuances of the pending sentencing of such a infectious carbuncle that haughtily takes daily pleasure in destroying our country.
His lawyers should be ashamed of using Trumpsky's playbook:
lie, lie, lie,
deny, deny, deny,
deflect, deflect, deflect,
delay, delay, delay,
appeal, appeal, appeal,
and when all efforts fail, settle at the cheapest price with a confidential agreement.
It seems like he’s had plenty of time since the trial ended to get his affairs in order. If he’s a flight risk (which I think he is) that just gives him a chance to do it. Lock him up!
Flagrancy isn't a crime, but considering how Bannon has made himself a spectacle of indifference to the law it would be satisfying to see him model imprisonment as a result of that indifference.
I appreciate your easily understood complex situation, as always! But—if I was the one, you or more likely, a person of color, who had committed these crimes, I know where one would be pending trial; not at home! I’m just soooo very sick and tired of “Teflon Justice!” of DT and his crew!
Still—even though “convicted,” he walks free while he’s delaying….delaying….delaying! I think Heather said maybe long enough to collect his “things,” but this is not that! This is a classic strategy to waste time until GOP takes the party (in their mind) and he can get off scott free—again! Teflon at its finest!
it's early here on the left coast, and temperatures made an abrupt about-face from 80s to 50s during the night - fireplace is on and a purring kitty is in my lap. Coffee in hand, i fire up the trusty laptop and find your "Steve Bannon Gets Sentenced." My day is made, and the sun isn't even up yet!
Is this the same fate that Trump could face if he refuses to cooperate with his subpoena? And is he feeling a little unsettled about what’s going to happen to Bannon today? Thank you for speaking on the Bannon sentencing. It’s been on my mind and I’ve been waiting to hear what happens. And to see how Trump will react to what is happening with his friend.
Well, if we thought there was still justice in America, it certainly didn't show its face in the Bannon sentencing phase. $6500??? This guy stole millions from the "build the wall" dummies, not that I have any sympathy for those dolts, but still. Now, trump will definitely want "this" judge for his next trial. Discouraging to say the least.

And don't pay your lawyers.
I’m sure they’re proud.

Or, how could his affairs EVER be "put in order'?
😀
If Bannon and the likes of Roger Stone could be charged and penalized for inciting violence it would be a good day.
You can say that again

Bannon is stuck somewhere between a hard place and a hard head.
Thank you for this detailed explanation of the process.
And the King remains free....
What King I say????

They’re playing on social media influencers and repetition of the big lie. Bannon’s a thug like his daddy DT.

Somehow the hubris of trump’s thugs never ceases to amaze. Bannon still thinks he’s above the law and should have special consideration.
It’s the misplaced arrogance I find so disturbing.

Can the one year sentence (maximum mentioned) be given?
I wish.
Let my feelings be clear....lock him up!
Damn the torpedoes and full speed ahead! Put him where he surely belongs.
Now let’s wait for tfg to “extend his pardon” to cover the current matter. He’s clueless and vituperative enough to tell The Minions That.
