January 1, DOJ Recommends 6-Month Sentence for Steve Bannon

Published

on

ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY…
1867: Alaska Purchase – The U.S. takes formal possession of Alaska from Russia, having paid $7.2 million.

The Department of Justice says that Steve Bannon serve a six-month prison sentence and pay a $200,000 fine for failing to comply with a congressional subpoena from the House committee investigating Jan. 6, 2021.

Federal prosecutors say that Bannon, who served as the White House’s chief strategist under former President Donald Trump, “pursued a bad-faith strategy of defiance and contempt” and undermined the committee’s investigation.

“By flouting the Select Committee’s subpoena and its authority, the Defendant exacerbated that assault,” prosecutors wrote in court documents.

The federal attorneys allege that Bannon’s “contempt was not aimed at protecting executive privilege or the Constitution, rather it was aimed at undermining the Committee’s efforts to investigate an historic attack on government.”

“To this day, he continues to unlawfully withhold documents and testimony that stand to help the Committee’s authorized investigation to get to the bottom of what led to January 6 and ascertain what steps must be taken to ensure that it never happens again. That cannot be tolerated,” they wrote.

In July, Bannon was convicted on two counts of contempt of Congress for refusing to sit for a deposition or provide documents. His sentencing is set for Friday.

    They need to give Biden, Harris, Pelosi, Obama’s, Clinton’s 6 month prison sentences and let Steve Bannon go, he is innocent.

        This “political prisoner” bullshit has to stop! These actions by the DOJ, etal under this administration is what they do in totalitarian regimes like the old Soviet Union, NK, Iran, etc. This is Marxist Obama at work behind the scenes with his Deep State sycophants to make this a one-party controlled state!

      I fully agree with you, Helen. The whole Jan. 6th fiasco and the resulting court is a sham and was so from the start. Hang in there, Steve. Stand your ground.

    The evil DEMONrat DOJ is using this sentence to throw fear into all of us for standing up against them. If they can doo it this well known personality, what will they do to us the peons, the taxpayers whom they totally hate and disrespect? They have done it to the J6 victims who are still jailed, being treated so viciously, 34 have signed a letter begging to be transferred to Guantanamo where Taliban is treated better than they are here. The demonic DOJ has gone after conservative Christians who believe in life and did nothing more than pray outside an abortion clinic, then months later, the DOJ sends a swat team early in the morning to arrest Paul in front of his kids and wife. Now, he’s threatened with 11 years in jail. Why? He did not block any entrance, he didn;t desgroy anything, all he did was pray. He even spoke with the police who were on duty that day.
    This evil, horrific, tyrannical administration must be stopped and we can do it if we overwhelm them at the polls. Vote in person on election day and vote CONSERVATIVE!!!

      There is no Justice. Violet Criminals are released back on the Streets, within hours, without PAYING BAIL, to continue CAUSING SERIOUS INJURIES AND KILLING INNOCENT PEOPLE. EVERYDAY. We can thank Dementia and the DemoRATS, who do not want or believe in LAW AND ORDER AND FOR DEFUNDING OUR MEN AND WOMEN IN BLUE. Our Men and Women in Blue are being killed everyday, while Dementia enjoys shoving ICE CREAM DOWN HIS THROAT.

      It is obvious that you slept through high school/GED English, Civics and typing classes, as you can’t put together rational or grammatically correct thoughts. You are a great argument for reinstating a literacy test for voting. Your ignorance speaks volumes about the mental incapacity of Trump voters!

    As the “committee” was NOT established and staffed according to Congress Rules, but in violation of them, IT HAS NO AUTHORITY!
    IT CAN NEITHER SUMMONS ANY PERSON, NOR REQUEST ANY EVIDENCE OR DOCUMENTS, NOR CAN IT THREATEN ANYONE WITH ANYTHING!
    AS IT STANDS, IT IS A PRIVATE MEETING WITH NOTHING TO SAY NOR TO DECIDE!
