Steve Bannon Will Go To Jail As He Loses Appeal On Contempt Of Congress Charges

Bannon after hearing the ruling:

Only four months. He could do with four years at the very least.

Now my weekend can start.

At least someone is going to jail! Even if its just 4 months

 

[AwwBubbles]

And may he continue to rot in his cell.

I hope Sloppy Steve finds it a suitably horrible, life-changing experience.

 

[Handicapped Duck]

Four months seems a little short considering what him and his administration tried to do. Sure tho, send someone to jail for years for trying to vote.

4 months is not enough, man should be locked away for decades, but at least it's something.
