Locutusofborg's JournalDammit, Steve Bannon pleads guilty gets no jail time.
Bannon was accused of ripping off donors to his "We Build The Wall" fiasco. Bannon pleaded guilty to felony fraud today but will be allowed to walk even for a felony. He was facing a possible 4 years.
Alvin Bragg let him off easy and immediately after the court appearance and guilty plea, Bannon attacked Bragg and Leticia James and called for Trump Attorney General Bondi to investigate/prosecute them.
January 6th was NOT an official insurrection
Unless and until someone is charged under the Rebellion and Insurrection Statute. What January 6th is as of today is a Conspiracy to Obstruct an Official Proceeding of Congress by Assaults on Law Enforcement Officers.
Those are the felony crimes (felony conspiracy, obstruction & assault) that perpetrators have been arrested for, indicted for, pleaded guilty to and are in prison for, several for more than four years.
My hope is that the Justice Department WILL eventually charge some defendants with insurrection and that they are saving the worst for last. 11 more defendants were charged this week bringing the total to 738.
Damn, Bannon lucked out and got a Trump judge
U.S. Federal District Court Judge Carl J. Nichols drew Steve Bannon's case. He's a 2019;Trump appointee.
