Bannon found guilty

quote:
Steve Bannon, a key associate of former President Donald Trump and an influential figure on the American right, was convicted on Friday of contempt of Congress for defying a subpoena from the committee investigating last year's attack on the U.S. Capitol, a major victory for the Democratic-led panel.

quote:
The verdict by the jury of eight men and four women, after less than three hours of deliberations, marked the first successful prosecution for contempt of Congress since 1974, when a judge found G. Gordon Liddy, a conspirator in the Watergate scandal that prompted President Richard Nixon's resignation, guilty.

Is that normal to delay the sentencing hearing for 3 months??

That gives Trump a chance to pardon... oh wait... heh heh heh

Was I the only one that thought this was a freaking clown show waste of time? I mean, was there ever any doubt that he was guilty? They subpoenaed him, he didn't show up. Not a lot of nuance there.

No doubt Bannon's attorneys got plenty of $$$$ from his disciples and had to put on some sort of show.
