A federal judge has mandated that Steve Bannon, a former senior advisor to President Trump, must begin serving a four-month prison sentence by July 1. Bannon’s imprisonment results from his refusal to comply with a congressional subpoena investigating the January 6th Capitol events.
The directive from Judge Carl Nichols follows the rejection of Bannon’s appeal to overturn his conviction. This decision ensures Bannon, a pivotal conservative media figure and Trump associate, will be incarcerated during a crucial period in the 2024 presidential campaign between Trump and President Joe Biden. Matt Gaetz quickly took to X to post in support of Bannon:
It is with great sadness and anger that we observe the death of the judicial system in America.
Steve Bannon sought judicial review of the illegal demands of a runaway congressional committee, unlike any ever comprised. It was literally a matter of first impression.

In 2022, Bannon was found guilty of two counts of contempt of Congress for his failure to provide documents and testify before the House committee investigating the January 6 incident. He joins Peter Navarro, another former Trump official, who is also serving a prison term for defying the same committee.

Bannon had avoided serving his sentence during the appeals process, but prosecutors sought to enforce the prison term after a federal appeals court upheld his conviction. His attorneys argued that he should remain free while appealing to the full D.C. Circuit court or the U.S. Supreme Court, citing that Bannon acted on his lawyer’s advice that he was not obliged to comply with the subpoena.
Although Bannon was not part of the White House staff at the time, he was involved with a group of Trump advisers attempting to disrupt the certification of Biden’s 2020 election win. The congressional panel suggested that Bannon had prior knowledge of the events planned for January 6, when Trump supporters breached the Capitol to halt the certification process.
Bannon responds:
BANNON: All of this is about one thing—shutting down the MAGA movement, grassroots conservatives and Pres Trump. Not only are we winning, we are going to prevail. There’s not a prison or jail built that can shut me up. pic.twitter.com/rjTvjHlrzW

And yet Hunter Biden told Congress to fuck off when they issue a subpena and nothing happened. .LawFare
He is part of the Occupation Government US and is protected as such.
Samanna—Not the “Occupation Government” but the “ZOG”…..
Selective enforcement and gross abuse of power…
Eric Holder refused a subpoena. So have many others over the years.
Is there really anyone left who is not thoroughly convinced that America is finished?
Not quite we still have that arch villain of the Deep State SuperTrump
and you delusionally think Trump is going to overcome the entire left wing along with 99% of the republicans who are working to obstruct any successes.
Trump is all but sure to win , so they will be trying something,,be ready,,and don’t be victim.
It’s a fatal error on the part of Trump supporters to think that one man can fix all their problems for them. He’s one man, not the Savior. America is doomed because everyone is looking for someone else to save them. That idea never works. Thank God the people who founded the country didn’t think that way.
heh,,not with that attitude. Pretty sure the founders would agree with us,, and would tell us to take you TDS ridden bubbled clowns to the woodshed. Btw everybody is remembering just how good Trump was. see you November sunshine.
Spot on. This country has a terminal case of “Let George Do It”.
Hey Lew be honest, you and your ilk who didn’t have the genius in 2015 ( like the real patriots) to realize Trump is not only what the USA needs, but you were one of the know it all’s walking around saying no path to 270,, Hillary got this! You and your ilk are stinging because you were all sooo wrong about what he would do. Trump won”t be a dictator or King,, but he will have a mandate. Russia Russia Russia ‘heh’. go back to cable news.
It’s not who votes, it’s who counts the votes—–Josef Stalin.
Vote anyway. We need the White House before we can bring the deep state to justice. Pray! Without Jesus all is lost.
Not as long as we 150 million gun owners with our 400 million guns
and 20 billion rounds of ammunition stay frosty. They can’t do what
they want to do as long as we are armed to the teeth.
We need real REFORM to the political parties and deep state administrations, including all federal agencies if we are to regain our standing as a free and noble country.
Too many despots are trying to dominate the world from here, and using UN and WHO and other NGO’s
This is treasonous coop that has occurred over many years and it needs to stop before this country and the world as we know it is destroyed by psychopaths.
There must now be recompense for the corrupt J6 committee.
Patience……..the damn is breaking on the mass murdering covid conspirators. The subpoenas to the J6 cabal including Lizzo and Crying Adam are in play. The vile tyrants are enjoying their final small victories.
What about all of the deep staters and dems who have done the same?
Wake me up when It’s time to get it on.
Hopefully that will be before we are ALL arrested for simply donating to TRUMP
Speaker Johnson must declare that the Jan 6 committee violated house rules and therefore illegitimate.
Johnson needs to grow a pair and start going on offense.
Recourse is coming, the left will rue the day they stepped on America!
The fraudulent election of November 2020 was a coup d’etat. It is well past time that fact is accepted.
Welcome to the USSA !
WHEN THE HELL IS ERIC HOLDER GOING TO JAIL?
TYRANTS
“The congressional panel suggested that Bannon had prior knowledge of the events planned for January 6, when Trump supporters breached the Capitol to halt the certification process.”
What? When they were urged in by FBI agents and then ushered in
by capitol police who ttook selfies with them? Enough of treating this
Fedsurrection as “storming” the capitol. It was a complete set up by our
fully evil government to cover up the theft of the 2020 election.
Full blown communism in the country now and those who support it are either communists themselves or useful idiots. Don’t think the communists won’t come after YOU if they get full blown power.
This reminds of the 2012 election – ALL Tea Party groups around the US were SHUT DOWN by obama’s IRS. NO one was ever accountable but it happened.
Bannon, Please report to your BOGUS, lawfare prison sentence ASAP so you can be back on air before the Nov election. God bless you, what a hero of this time!!
This is BULLSHIT of the highest order. The criminals on the Left are getting a free pass – they are the ones that deserve jail time. When will things go back to normal – this is stupidity.
The scum who sat on the phony committee should go to prison.
Wow. For those of you old enough to realize this is so wrong here in the good ol USA. “Hope and change” “fer sure like y’know”?
I have come to chew bubble gum and kic ,,oh never mind.
Eric Holder should be in the cell next to him then, Holder (then the Attorney General) defied a congressional subpoena and was held in contempt of congress back in 2012…..nothing ever came of it. SELECTIVE PROSECUTION.
