1. Why was he given 2 days ? He lost his appeal.

[onenote]

3. Because that is standard practice.

The government filed a motion to lift the stay that the trial court had placed on Bannon's sentence pending his appeal. As is standard procedure, Bannon is given an opportunity to respond to that motion. In fact, two days is a rather short time frame under the circumstances -- the standard period for responding to a motion is 14 days. Thus, it is not surprising that the government elected not to oppose a request by Bannon to expand the deadline from May 16 until May 20.

9. Where is that documented?

I'm only seeing his next opportunity is to take to the Supreme Court - or report to jail.

10. In the filings in the public docket of the case.

Here's the government's motion asking the court to lift the stay pending appeal adopted at the time Bannon was convicted.

11. Thank you very much!

It is greatly appreciated. I'm not good with getting into court case documentation.

4. I've known plenty of convicted criminals, but never seen anyone skate like these guys.

Regular people get convicted and go to jail. They leave the courthouse in handcuffs and go directly to lock-up. If they file an appeal, they wait it out in prison. If they say they want to appeal all the way to the Supreme Court, they get laughed at.

What kind of mojo do these MAGA traitors have to get treated like royalty. It is like our criminal justice system is embarrassed to trouble these prima donnas with trivialities like penalties.

8. It is not just "MAGA".

It is people that are in power. The former Speaker of the Illinois House and Chairman of the Illinois Democratic Party, Mike Madigan, was indicted for 22 counts of corruption in early 2022. He still has not come to trial.

5. His deadline to respond has been extended to May 20.

The standard period for responding to a motion is 14 days, so this still is a quick turnaround.

[riversedge]

6. umm. I thought the extra 2 days was already an extension. But hard to keep up. Thanks.

7. America is safer with Republican traitors in jail

12. Time for the perp walk.

Fuck this guy.
