Not sure who got the worse sentence. Bannon spending 4 months in prison or the prison staff spending 4 months with Bannon.

[@blondhairblackstrat]

SCOTUS just ruled that Dark Brandon now has the power to keep him there indefinitely. "Official act". Be careful what you wish for.

​@@debbiecaldwell489wrong Biden claimed exec privilege trump didn't do that for sedition Steve😂😂😂

[@jogreen3081]

It is news because he is yet another one of Trump's lackeys going to jail. We could count them if you like. It is bigger news because even Trump fired him after 7 months. This is why I don't watch this channel, and will not again, just looking at comments. Don't forget the "Build the Wall" scheme, where he and his buddies ripped off millions. All his partners are in jail for that. Bannon's trial for that comes in September and that WILL BE BIG NEWS. Fraud, Inc. He will be on trial while still serving his sentence. Could have been over a long time ago. Now he is in jail for the rest of the campaign. NOT brilliant strategy. Talk abut a two tiered system. Don't crime. Trump f'd around and found out, and so did a lot of other people. IF you are trying to find the "two tiered justice system", you have to look no further than Trump. If WE did any ONE of the things he did, we would be in jail. period. Meanwhile he is out running around selling golden sneakers (lmao) and fake Trump coins. WHY do people buy those? The only successful business he has had is selling red hats to fools who will complain about prices while spending 35 bucks on a hat, or a "Trump black card", or NFT's. The man does NOT look like the Avengers, NEVER wore an army uniform, and yet people eat it right up. If Biden suggested a "migrant fight league", then they would bring out the 25th for him. Sharks, batteries, etc. Planes do NOT fall out of the sky if there is no sun. You can still watch TV if the "wind isn't blowing, Darling", and make sure you donate your hard earned money to "windmill cancer research". Puh-Leeze!

[@debbiecaldwell489]

@@gabereal420 Biden, who said BEFORE he took office in 2021, said he would NOT be a President that signed " Executive Privilege" CONSTANTLY, yet he has signed FAR MORE Executive Privileges than ANY PRESIDENT IN AMERICAN HISTORY BY FAR. BIDEN LIED AS HE HAS BEEN DOING FOR 50 YEARS.

[@aeroAdvocate]

To be fair, the subpoena he ignored was from Congress and not a legitimate court. This has nothing to do with the law everyday day citizens are confronted with. This is a bunch of nonsense. If you have a proper criminal case to prosecute, then do it, but these charges against isolated individuals are ridiculous.

[@pamelapierce5625]

Prison for what

[@MikeW-dz7ij]

How do you not know what hes conviction is for?

[@flinch622]

Respecting the invoking of executive privilege - dems have gone full stalinist. I think he tried to tell the committee he would have nothing to say before hand [saving everybody time & trouble], and I question his lawyers judgement. If forced to appear, ok: testify that nobody in the room can waive the presidents choice to exercise or waive executive privilege, and no further statement is possible. Democrats wanted the photo op/serial press conference... which is how things usually go. Bannon didn't have to even invoke the 5th as I see it: the committee was out of order, and he had no power to provide any cure where they demanded a breach of the executive branch. Bring a good book, pour a cup of coffee, and for the blowhards trying desperately to forge procedural error and nonsense, repeated this: Which one of you has taken the presidential oath? ... My opening comments stand.
