Former Trump adviser Stephen K. Bannon was rightfully convicted of contempt of Congress for refusing to testify in front of the committee that investigated the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack, an appellate court ruled Friday.

Yet another member of the Trump crime family will be heading to jail. Sad.

^^Very much doubt it. It took this court nearly a year for this judgement and it has given Bannon a week to appeal. So yet another appeal, another year of delay is what I expect. and now we have a pardoned and resurrected Paul Manafort in the mix for the upcoming general election.

The full Court of Appeals and SCOTUS are under no obligation to hear his case. They'll likely refuse cert and send him off to jail like his buddy Navarro.

Hope so and you know far better than I do in these matters.
Certainly he is one ugly sinister SOB.

He was a college classmate of mine at Virginia Tech, though I didn't know him. He had a different major and graduated a year later than I did.

The federal judge overseeing a pregnancy discrimination case against Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign approved a bid by the ex-president and his team to switch to new legal counsel—bringing in a Maryland law firm where a top partner stands accused of bilking millions belonging to the nation of Somalia.

IRS Audit of Trump Could Cost Former President More Than $100 Million

Sadly, the Teflon Don always seems to skate on these things. Corruption runs deep, even in the judiciary - see “judge” Cannon.

https://www.alternet.org/amp/trump-c...ent-2668234199

When will the “Christian” followers of this piece of garbage finally decide that enough is enough?

When they gain control of our government. That is their goal after all.

'Mighty damn corrupt': Senate likely to investigate Trump’s 'quid pro quo' with oil lobbyists
https://www.alternet.org/amp/trump-c...oil-2668234684

The most corrupt president* ever promises to be even more corrupt if given another term. When will MAGA voters wake up?
