Desperate Steve Bannon Mocked for Pathetic Attempt to Avoid Prison

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Steve Bannon’s last-ditch effort to avoid going to prison is eliciting more punchlines than sympathy.

The engineer behind the MAGA movement was convicted of contempt of Congress and originally sentenced in October last year. But he has evaded his prison sentence by demanding to see through an appeals process, which finally came crashing down last month.

Undeterred, the former White House strategist and staunch Trump ally filed an emergency request with the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals on Monday, begging them to spare him from carrying out his long-awaited four-month prison sentence, which is set to begin July 1.

Bannon put on a brave face, making threats Tuesday against the last two FBI directors, Andrew McCabe and James Comey, should another Trump presidential term come to pass. “Get your passport, get the hell out of the country because hey, we’re coming,” he said. “We will hunt you down.”

1. Yeah, he just won't make the same $$ when his podcasts are on recycle for 4 months. Poor guy!

Surprised he isn't looking on the bright side as he will finally have time to write the definitive Americanized and 21st Century update to Mein Kampf and come out, coalesce all the nut case base and take over the world.

2. What a weasel. He sure can advocate punishment for others for perceived 'crimes' on his part, but when

convicted by a jury of his peers for contempt of Congress, he tries to weasel out of it (serving his prison term), and claims everything but the sun that he's innocent, despite ignoring a subpoena by Congress.

What a sniveling coward. Sure likes to dish it out onto others, but sure can't take it in return.

4. It's all MAGA kabuki theater

He has to Fight the Godless Communists; and then when he's put in the can he can be A Selfless Political Prisoner, and then after he gets out he'll be a Victim of the Godless Communist Biden Criminal Deep State.

So scripted. So sad.

It'll protect you for 4 months, anyway.

6. ...........Now Bannon plans to take his appeal to the Supreme Court, according to the new filing. .....

Bannon must be paying out a mint for all of his lawyers.


............Now Bannon plans to take his appeal to the Supreme Court, according to the new filing. Good luck to him: Former director of the White House National Trade Council Peter Navarro, who was also convicted of contempt of Congress and imprisoned, tried a similar gambit, which Chief Justice John Roberts dismissed without even referring it to the full court.
