'Prison will do him good': Bannon mocked over last-ditch effort to dodge prison surrender

[Tom of Temecula]

Former President Donald Trump's ex-White House adviser Steve Bannon is pleading to be spared prison because it will hamstring his ability to provide "meaningful" expertise in this year's election.

"The government seeks to imprison Mr. Bannon for the four-month period leading up to the November election, when millions of Americans look to him for information on important campaign issues," Bannon's new attorney Trent McCotter wrote in a recent emergency request. "This would also effectively bar Mr. Bannon from serving as a meaningful advisor in the ongoing national campaign.”

The same three-judge panel rejected Bannon’s appeal on all grounds. Assistant U.S. Attorney Molly Gaston, who joined special counsel Jack Smith's team, told jurors during closing arguments in 2022: “The defendant chose allegiance to Donald Trump over compliance with the law." Trump-appointed U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols sided with prosecutors, finding there was no reason to sustain his stay to let Bannon remain free from lockup now that an appeals court upheld the conviction.

“I don’t believe that the original basis for my stay of Mr. Bannon’s sentence exists any longer," he said. "I no longer consider that his appeal raises substantial questions of law of a kind likely to reverse his conviction,” Nichols said, citing the appellate panel’s ruling.

1. Prison would be a great place for Bannon to succumb to his many diseases

[lastlib]

2. It'll do my soul good, too--having the b-----d behind bars.....

where he can't spew his sh*t at the world.




Have some moldy prison food, Stevie--and I hope your soap is slippery

[marble falls]

3. Tell him to write a letter from jail.

[Buns_of_Fire]

4. Perhaps exposure to a higher class of person than he's used to will do him some good. nt

[Old Crank]

5. He could have taken his sentence

And been out by now. His decisions, he now has to live with them.

[PortTack]

6. If he was so worried about the timing, then why didn't he just get his jail time in earlier? He could have been out by

Out by a Now.
He’s a fucking chicken afraid to go to jail…not enough drugs or booze. And being the sissy he is prison life will not be good for his health….suffering unknown falls, bruising and black eyes.

7. Bannon should get a t***p tattoo on his forehead.

[not fooled]

8. Someone on Stephanie Miller's show expressed concern

that he would decompose while in prison.

[Straw Man]

9. If anything, he may learn some manners.

Bluster like his is likely to get him into some difficulties that his bloated physical condition will not get him out of.

10. Convict says he shouldn't have to go to jail cuz he's got stuff to do?

Well then! Why didn't you say so? We can't go jailing you if you've got stuff to do!

11. On the contrary, Bannon reporting to prison will poetically reunite him

with many of the imprisoned players who were involved in tRump’s 2020 POTUS campaign, not to mention all those “warriors” currently serving time for attacking the Capitol on Jan 6. Why, the government will be doing him a favor.

13. 4 month alcohol detox.

Unless he hooks up with his Aryan Brohood homies for some contraband hooch brewed up in a toilet bowl.
