Steve Bannon loses appeal; prison term dead ahead - Glenn Kirschner



One of Donald Trump's right-hand men, Steve Bannon, was convicted of two counts of criminal contempt of Congress, and was sentenced to four months in prison. Unfortunately, a Trump-appointed judge, Carl Nichols, let Bannon remain free pending appeal.

A DC appeals court just affirmed Bannon's convictions and gave him seven days to seek review by all of the appellate court judges (which is very likely to be rejected). Bannon is now one giant step closer to prison. - Glenn Kirschner - 05/10/2024.

ABC News - Stephen Bannon (while in handcuffs): "This is what happens on the last days of a dying regime. They will never shut me up, they will have to kill me first! I have not yet begun to fight!" - says the 'alleged' fraudster. Bernie Madoff vibes.

Bannon turned himself in and the indictment charges Stephen Bannon and "We Build the Wall" with two counts of money laundering (5-15yrs) and there could be additional felony counts of conspiracy and scheme to defraud in addition to one misdemeanor count of conspiracy to defraud, according to court papers. Plea deal coming?
