Steve Bannon has been convicted of two counts of contempt of Congress for failing to comply with a subpoena from the Jan. 6 committee.

Bannon, who previously served as former President Donald Trump’s campaign CEO and White House adviser, faces up to one year in jail for each count.

According to a report, the federal jury reached a verdict after deliberating for less than three hours.

Prosecutors had argued that the case was “not complicated, but it is important.”

“When it came down to it, he did not want to recognize Congress’s authority or play by the government’s rules,” said assistant U.S. attorney Molly Gaston during her closing argument.

The committee’s subpoena, issued September 23, 2021, ordered Bannon to supply documents by October 7, 2021, and appear for a deposition on October 14, 2021.

Robert Costello, Bannon’s lawyer, had informed the committee that his client wouldn’t be complying because Trump had asserted executive privilege. Costello had also cited an ongoing civil case between Trump and the Jan. 6 committee.

Bannon’s sentencing is scheduled for October 21.

      This BS will continue until the Democrats are removed from Congress! Hopefully, when the Republicans regain control of Congress, most of these Dem traitors will be tried for High Treason! The only Dems who have shown ANY loyalty to their oath of office, and the Constitution, are Senators Manchin and Synema! The rest of them are only loyal to the Party, and the Party backers, not to the Nation!

    Bannon is one more Soviet-style political prisoner of the Democrats and Trump-hating DC Establishment. We are no longer free citizens of the US but fealty subjects of the elite political class.

    Bannon is one more Soviet-style political prisoner of the Democrats and DC Establishment. We are no longer free citizens of the US but vulnerable fealty subjects or the elite political class if we dare to question their authority over us.

    The dems and Deep State think they will be able to break the spirit of people like Bannon. The British thought they would be able to do the same thing to colonists 250 years ago. If they keep this up, there is no telling where this will end, but it won’t be good for anybody.

    This entire January 6th fiasco is total BS. That whole committee is unconstitutional, from it’s inception, as Piglosi refused to allow Republicans on the committee, until she found two extreme RINOs, who absolutely hate President Trump. The january 6th PROTEST, was just that. A protest against certifying a fraudulent Election is a duty to the US Constitution. The Dimmocraps empowered the mail in fraud, and enabled Illegal Aliens to unlawfully vote by mail. The new laws they passed allowed for no requirement to prove eligibility to vote as a U S Citizen. This fraudulent committee has NO LEGAL authority to get ANYONE charged with Contempt of Congress, because they have no LEGAL Standing, and their subpoenas are not valid. The entire committee should be dissolved and sent home, to quit wasting out tax dollars.
