“A federal jury has CONVICTED former Trump political adviser Steve Bannon of twocounts of criminal contempt of Congress for intentionally defying a subpoena related to the assault on the U.S. Capitol last year.

Bannon put on no defense in the case, which featured testimony from just two government witnesses, including the deputy staff director of the House Select Committee investigating the events of Jan. 6, 2021.

The Justice Department told jurors the case was black and white - as simple as the words on the subpoena to Bannon last autumn.

"The defendant chose allegiance to Donald Trump over compliance with the law," Assistant U.S. Attorney Molly Gaston said in closing arguments.

Bannon had broadcast his defiance on the social media site Gettr, prosecutors said, posting that he told lawmakers he would "NOT comply" on Oct. 8, 2021, after the first committee deadline had passed.

The chief government witness, Kristin Amerling of the Jan. 6 committee, told jurors the panel wanted to know more about Bannon's contacts with former President Trump, his presence with others at the Willard Hotel in early 2021, and his statement on the War Room podcast that "all hell is going to break loose" a day before the Capitol siege.

No matter what, the Trump TURD will spend a minimum of 30 days in federal custody.

Hopefully, the judge takes Bannon’s behavior into consideration and gives him a full year in federal prison.
 
No surprise, the jury has affirmed Bannon’s guilt.

I’ll bet Navarro’s feeling nervous right now. 😄
Again, be careful of what you wish for.
 

Judge sets Bannon's sentencing for Oct. 21​

From CNN's Tierney Sneed and Katelyn Polantz

US District Judge Carl Nichols has set Steve Bannon's sentencing for Oct. 21.
A federal jury found Bannon guilty of two counts of contempt of Congress for defying a subpoena from the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack.
In the courtroom, Bannon smiled as they read the verdict. He looked back and forth between the courtroom deputy and the foreperson.

Bannon faces a minimum sentence of 30 days in jail, according to federal law.

There will be an appeal and it will fail too. He will never testify before the Committee but let's see his greasy self try to pull this on the DOJ!
 
And now come the threats of reprisal from the alt-right MAGAites.
Your childish name calling in lieu of any semblance of intelligent discourse has grown beyond tiresome. Have nice life.
 
/Sarcasm on
guilty. The jury must have been all Trump haters. How could they find Bannon guilty. He loves Trump.:giggle:
Nah. It's a DC jury. They hate all Republicans. (is this news to you?)
