To Belaruse with them all. We need to encourage all of them to flee and never return.

Keep in mind that here on DU people predicted over and over that Trump would flee to Russia at some point. Notice that hasn't happened. I'm willing to go out on a limb and say it will never happen. People like that never fully understand what is going on, and so don't plan for alternative actions.

My wife was a career Federal Corrections Officer with 26 years in at retirement. He's a punk, that will have to watch his mouth, and his back. Afraid, that is funny, as he will likely be separated from the general population after the first punch in the gob.

If Bannon gets inherent contempt to refusing to testify he'll likely go to a MDC (Metropolitan Detention Center). If so he will be in the general population in open dorms. It is likely safe as most there are on trail, awaiting sentencing, or about to be transferred to a facility. Any beefs will make things worst for them, but Bannon and most people of notoriety can be a target. With his White Supremist reputation he will be of interest to those for and against. I would guess in an MDC setting, someone will want to go after him.

The charges against him are nothing compared to the other charges that he was pardoned for. This is a minor charge.

Why he gets that privilege, I don't know, but he should get to experience cuffs and bars soon. Jails are very noisy, too.

I don't remember the name of the guy who was desperately trying to get himself situated because he couldn't take the jail environment, but he came from privilege, too. So did the Epstein associated woman. She also protested the environment. Someone on DU said that he could get as much as one year per charge. So, I hope that it doesn't turn into, "time served." We'll see.
