You Gonna Serve Them Four Months!

Defiant. Far right agitator Steve Bannon will head to federal time out after he lost his appeals.

Winners and losers of 2024.

Steve Bannon must report to federal time out for his four month stay. After the Supreme Court rejected his last minute plea for clemency, the far right agitator lost his attempt to stay out of the federal time out.

Bannon, a former advisor to former president Donald J. Trump from 2017 until 2018.

He was also the former chief executive of Breitbart Media, a far right conspiracy propaganda company. 

Bannon defied a congressional subpoena which he was summoned to explain his role in the Jan. 6 insurrection. He refused to do it and claimed "executive privilege." 

Clearly knowing he had no "executive privilege", Bannon maintained that he will not release any information to why Trump and his minions used their efforts to literally overturn the results of the 2020 election.

Trump, Bannon, Roger Stone and several Republican lawmaker still plot to overturn the 2024 presidential election. Trump still refuses to accept the election results if he lost.

The appeal was originally directed to Chief Justice John Roberts, who oversees such requests from Washington. He referred it to the full court.

The court rejected it without explanation, as is typical. There were no noted dissents.

Bannon claims he had executive privilege despite being out of office for over five years.

Defense attorneys have argued the case raises issues that should be examined by the Supreme Court, including Bannon’s previous lawyer’s belief that the subpoena was invalid because former President Donald Trump had asserted executive privilege. Prosecutors, though, say Bannon had left the White House years before and Trump had never invoked executive privilege in front of the committee.

Peter Navarro also refused to speak to Congress and he was convicted. He is serving his four month term in federal time out. He tried to appeal and lost.

A jury found Bannon guilty nearly two years ago of two counts of contempt of Congress: one for refusing to sit for a deposition with the Jan. 6 House Committee and a second for refusing to provide documents related to his involvement in the Republican ex-president’s efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss to Democrat Joe Biden.

U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols allowed Bannon to stay free while he appealed but recently ordered him to report to prison after an appeals court panel upheld his contempt of Congress convictions. The panel later rejected Bannon’s bid to avoid reporting to prison.

Bannon is expected to appeal his conviction to the full appeals court, and Republican House leaders have put their support behind stepping in to assert the Jan. 6 committee was improperly created, effectively trying to deem the subpoena Bannon received as illegitimate.

Bannon is also facing criminal charges in New York state court alleging he duped donors who gave money to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. Bannon has pleaded not guilty to money laundering, conspiracy, fraud and other charges, and that trial has been postponed until at least the end of September.

Bannon has a podcast that is streamed on Real America's Voice, a far right platform that hosts extremists such as him, John Solomon, Frank Gaffney, Charlie Kirk, Ted Nugent, Tudor Dixon and sexual predator Ed Henry.
