... last week, wasn't it? I suppose he thought he could wriggle out of this trial if he offered to testify but the J6 committee doesn't need his testimony now.

I'm surprised the trial isn't over with already, especially because he doesn't have a defense.

Welcome back to reality, Steve. sop Jul 2022 #1

How long before he leans over to his attorney Beachnutt Jul 2022 #2

I've actually had that happen. Nevilledog Jul 2022 #4

He's rocking? Probably going into the DTs! Seriously PortTack Jul 2022 #3

He probably wears all the layers to hide the liquor feeding tube. Nevilledog Jul 2022 #6

I doubt that Bannon is shaking in his boots. Chainfire Jul 2022 #5

Question, Beachnutt Jul 2022 #10

I don't think so. It's meant as a punishment. They don't need his testimony anyway Walleye Jul 2022 #22

No, he's being prosecuted for ignoring the subpoena; that is, to punish past conduct, Ocelot II Jul 2022 #26

Subpeona him again lame54 Jul 2022 #50

I thought it had a minimum jail time of 30 days Walleye Jul 2022 #20

and a max of 2 years. If convicted of both counts. Each 30 day min, one year max, sans appeal. Evolve Dammit Jul 2022 #33

Do you think the judge will grant bail while he's appealing? Not much chance he will win An appeal Walleye Jul 2022 #34

good question. Trump-appointed. Evolve Dammit Jul 2022 #36

Do we have guillotines in the US? That as an example would clean up a whole lotta mess irisblue Jul 2022 #39

No, but we do have wood chippers. ;) Chainfire Jul 2022 #45

how is this different from Susan McDougal who was in prison for 18+ months for refusing to CharleyDog Jul 2022 #44

How long is his trial estimated to last? Chainfire Jul 2022 #7

His defense is it's a political witch hunt, but he's really not allowed to argue that. Nevilledog Jul 2022 #9

A waste of time assembling a jury for this charade. 2naSalit Jul 2022 #16

Guilty or not will he still have to go testify Beachnutt Jul 2022 #19

Totally separate issue. Nevilledog Jul 2022 #23

If he is issued a new subpoena and defies it Beachnutt Jul 2022 #24

Yes. Unless DOJ tries to compel him as enforcement, this will happen again. Nevilledog Jul 2022 #25

Why wasn't compelling him to testify the foremost issue? jaxexpat Jul 2022 #43

If I had to guess? Decorum. Dems still think the other side will follow the rules. Nevilledog Jul 2022 #48

His trial should be over in a matter of days. fightforfreedom Jul 2022 #11

This is not the normal contempt trial. Nevilledog Jul 2022 #13

He has a podcast. I suppose he is notorious for undermining democracy though... Evolve Dammit Jul 2022 #35

Now they're saying he thought the deadline was in flux, Beachnutt Jul 2022 #12

Every childish excuse... 2naSalit Jul 2022 #18

Jury gonna laugh at that one. Nevilledog Jul 2022 #21

Some of you have forgotten he offered to testify ... Novara Jul 2022 #38

I guess he could wait until the jury goes out EndlessWire Jul 2022 #47

Trump pardoned Bannon so this is NOT a first offense situation. He was found guilty of a felony Ford_Prefect Jul 2022 #40

It's a trump judge. Nevilledog Jul 2022 #41

This particular Trump judge doesn't seem disposed to be merciful toward Bannon. Ocelot II Jul 2022 #51

Bannon inspires bipartisan disgust. Guy is never not an asshole. Nevilledog Jul 2022 #52

The prosecutor will include the previous record when advising on sentencing. Ford_Prefect Jul 2022 #53

Not soon enough... dlk Jul 2022 #42
