1. I wonder if he did Nazi that coming.

[senseandsensibility]

2. Lol

7. 😂

3. Is this where they ask him, "Would you like to be the fall guy?"

[cilla4progress]

4. So, espionage - maralago docs

ANDDDDDD

Jan 6.

At the same time

Jack Smith...

[MyOwnPeace]

18. Cilla......

I LIKE the way you think!

[Volaris]

5. Doesthis mean it's time to round up the crew at the Willard?

If yes, GOOD. It's the next step in the chain linking Donald to the already jury-found CONSPIRACY to commit insurrection.

IANAL. Please, some lawyer here tell me: does the finding of a conspiracy, automatically equate to a potential RICO charge? Because if so, what is the possibility that the entire republican vote column for NOT certifying the election, can be charged for the SAME insurrection count?, since the conspiracy has already been proven to exist in a court of law?

[OneGrassRoot]

15. I hope so. n/t

[Mr.Bill]

21. I doubt they will ever call voting in Congress

a crime.

6. Tells me we aren't close to an indictment

Still talking to witnesses.

[C_U_L8R]

8. I think we're in the final roundup.

We'll see. It may be days or possibly weeks. But it feels close.

10. Not Necessarily

Could be wrong, but my understanding is that Smith is treating the stolen documents and January 6 as two separate cases, each of which could have their own timeframes and indictments. Bannon was involved in January 6, but not the stolen documents (as far as we know). Since the documents case is the more straightforward of the two, the expectation is that indictments will come down first in that case.

[Johnny2X2X]

12. Hope so

An indictment now in FL and another a few months from now in DC would be ideal. Georgia still happening in July too.

[Beetwasher.]

16. Different Case

This is probably 1/6, not the MAL docs case.

27. I think it will depend if he is indicting separately. He could still bring the

indictment on documents first. Bannon is no doubt about 1/6. And then he has the FL grand jury, if it is more about the financial and wire fraud, it too could be a different time. I keep hoping he would do them all under a RICO charge.

[Ace Rothstein]

9. Bannon belongs in Gitmo.

[ShazzieB]

17. Bannon belongs in prison, for sure.

Federal prison. Lock him up!

[Carlitos Brigante]

19. Personally, I don't think that prison should've ever existed. But I wouldn't

mind a sentence that includes working to build wells in remote, neglected areas in Sub-Saharan Africa. Maybe even mandatory daily push-ups...... Or in his case push-up. All while Public Enemy and Krs-One play in the background.

11. Sounds like Smith is moving on to the January 6 investigation?

As a side benefit, it could keep the rabble-rouser and propagandist, Bannon, pre-occupied elsewhere as the job gets done?

[Just_Vote_Dem]

13. He's not ignoring this subpoena

[Mr.Bill]

22. I bet he does. n/t

[Just_Vote_Dem]

23. Then he goes to jail

This is a grand jury subpoena, not a congressional subpoena

[Mr.Bill]

24. I don't think he gives a fuck.

Look at all he's done with no consequences already. If he goes to jail, it will only enhance his brand. I really think he sees it that way.

[Just_Vote_Dem]

26. You may have a point

We may see shortly!

[Bev54]

28. If he was going to ignore it, he would have yelled it across his podcast

so he can whip up his supporters. The fact he has been so quiet tells me he is taking this seriously.

[Mr.Bill]

30. I've never watched his podcast,

but you may be right about that. One thing is sure, Smith won't let him dick around and try to delay it for six months.

[Bev54]

33. I have never watched or listened to it either but cannot miss all the headlines on other sites

when he says or does stupid stuff. Not a word about this.

25. More than Jan 6

Bannon had his hands in lots of things, including the fake electors plot. I wouldn’t count that one out as being in play right now.

So far, 32 indictment counts on the New York stuff- now we are going to see Bannon decide if he wants to cooperate or serve time. There won’t be another pardon.

[NowISeetheLight]

29. Wall Scam

Was he ever tried for that wall fraud scam yet? He belongs in prison.

[Mr.Bill]

32. He was pardoned on the federal charge

but New York state is going to or has charged him in the state.

[617Blue]

31. Were the 15 shirts he's no doubt wearing also subpeonaed?

[Silent3]

34. He hasn't spent a day in jail yet for defying the last subpoena

Why should he give a flying fuck?
