Trump ally Bannon ordered to report to prison for defying Jan. 6 probe

Steve Bannon, a former top adviser to Donald Trump, must report to prison by July 1 to serve a four-month sentence for contempt of Congress, a federal judge said on Thursday. The decision means Bannon, a right-wing media firebrand who maintains influence in Trump’s orbit, will likely be behind bars for a critical stretch of the U.S. presidential campaign as former President Trump faces Democratic President Joe Biden in the Nov. 5 election. The order by U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols in Washington came after a federal appeals court last month rejected Bannon’s bid to overturn his conviction for spurning a subpoena from a congressional panel that investigated the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.

    Normal people: Handcuffed, taken out of the courtroom, and immediately thrown in prison upon sentencing.

    The rich: Granted extra time to get their affairs in order, wait until after all appeals have been exhausted, then negotiate for a time they report to prison. Because we can’t be inconveniencing the wealthy now, can we…

    Fuck the entire system.

      I don’t know about the entire system. I do like the “Bannon goes to jail” part of the system. Just not the “rich guys get more appeals” part.

        “Ordered to report to prison” doesn’t mean “in prison”, so we’ll see.

    He needs to be deloused before entering prison. He probably smells like dumpster full of rotting fish on fire

      Steve Bannon looks like the result of an experiment for a person to simultaneously beer-bong and butt-chug gin for forty years.

        Oh no worries about that, he’ll go on CIWA in the prison hospital and have a general bad time, but he won’t die.

        Edit: https://www.bop.gov/resources/pdfs/detoxification.pdf (I’m a nurse and have done plenty of CIWA. I have a feeling the BOP aren’t too liberal with the benzos though.)
