Trump ally Bannon asks the Supreme Court to delay his 4-month prison sentence on contempt charges - Lemmy.World

How is his prison sentence only FOUR MONTHS???

Because it’s only for contempt of Congress.

He was facing criminal charges for defrauding people during a scheme to build a border wall, but the orange turd pardoned him before those went anywhere.

It’s for defying a subpoena, not contempt of congress.

He also verbally threatened multiple people in Congress, dared them to arrest him, and threatened the judge who ordered him to jail while on air just a few weeks ago from what I remember. He’s still trying to appeal his initial conviction, but the judge said he needs to start serving for defying the subpoena now.

Oh yeah. I was thinking contempt of Congress was the penalty for defying a subpoena.

I must’ve tuned that part out, but it does sound like something that POS would do.
