is it too early for schadenfreude?

He won't be sentenced until October, and he'll probably appeal anyway, but is it too early?

1. It doesn't seem right that you can appeal when you didn't even put on a defense

[SheltieLover]

3. Agreed!

[chowder66]

4. That's what I was thinking.

7. Usually the SC does not take appeals in

Contempt of Congress convictions because of the division of powers. But this court might well be willing to make an exception.

[Walleye]

8. How far can you appeal a misdemeanor anyway?

[wnylib]

10. Don't know. I am not a lawyer. I looked

up info on contempt of Congress months ago when the issue first came up.

11. Bannon managed to get charged with a crime that is rarely prosecuted

13. He'll appeal

on grounds of inadequate representation because his lawyer didn't put on a defense. That was probably their agreement. But isn't that collusion or something?

2. October?

The fucking trial lasted 3 days.

Can't they just sentence him next week and be done with it?

I'm not holding my breath that he's going to get beyond the minimum, which I heard is 60 days.

5. +1

[Silent3]

14. Given that there's a mandatory minimum one month sentence...

...the oily bastard should be in jail right now, and sentencing done before the month expires.

[grumpyduck]

6. Yeah, agreed, but is it too early for schadenfreude?

Asking for a friend.

[Walleye]

9. No not too early. He at least has been slapped down a little bit

[dweller]

12. Did they take away his passport ?

I hope he runs … would love to see a mankhunt for him

15. W A Y too early.
