    Former Trump aide Steve Bannon guilty in Jan. 6 contempt of Congress case

    Former Trump White House aide Steve Bannon was found guilty Friday of two counts of contempt of Congress after a trial in federal court in Washington, D.C.

    Jurors deliberated for less than three hours before convicting Bannon of willfully failing to comply with subpoenas demanding his testimony and records, which were issued last September by the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol by supporters of then-President Donald Trump.

    He faces a minimum punishment of 30 days in jail, and a maximum of one year when he is sentenced on Oct. 21. He also faces a fine in the range of $100 to a maximum of $100,000.

    As I said earlier, an open and shut case. Steve has already been pardoned once......

    ...for his illegal fundraising scheme. He'll have no such luck this time.

    It is good to see the wheels of justice turn when they can't be thwarted by Individual 1 as a favor for not cooperating with a potential criminal prosecution of Don.

    That didn't take long.

    Clear message to other witnesses who refuse to comply. Many in the Secret Service are likely scared shitless.

    Oxymoron alert.

    “We may have lost a battle here today, but we’re not going to lose this war,” Bannon said. “I stand with Trump and the Constitution, and I will never back off that, ever.”

    One can not simultaneously stand with Trump and the Constitution.

    I think that's about right. But it is gratifying to see the rule of law prevail among members of the most lawless admin in the history of the country.

    Even if the kangaroo court managed to force Bannon to appear before them they would lose on the grounds of the 5th. Even his personal documents might be protected under it.

    Why is it important for you to refer to the committee investigating Trump's criminality regarding everything pertaining to 1/6 as a kangaroo court? It has conducted itself with the utmost integrity.

    Your opinion on the validity of the 1/6 Committee is noted and dismissed.

    What is the worst that can happen? Trump will still be a free man. Republicans supporting Trump already know they are considered deplorable people and continue to stick out their asses in the faces of Democrats. Midterms, here we come!

    Dream on. The only thing Bannon was convicted of was ignoring a subpoena.

    Because you have no way to deal with the revelations other than to dismiss them. Acknowledging them creates too much cognitive dissonance for you. Like contemplating your support for a traitor when you thought you were doing the right thing.

    It is a kangaroo court and doesn’t have even a shred of integrity among any of its members.

    You do a lot of dismissing. But then what else can you do when you have nothing to engage with.

    The piece is full of data points. But you wouldn't know that because you.............dismissed it. Just as you dismiss many inconvenient truths.
