DOJ requests judge order Steve Bannon to begin prison sentence

There is no need to wait to lock this asshole up



https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/doj-requests-judge-order-steve-bannon-begin-prison/story?id=110209704&cid=social_twitter_abcn

Federal prosecutors on Tuesday requested the judge overseeing ex-Donald Trump adviser Steve Bannon's criminal contempt of Congress case to order that he begin his four-month prison sentence, after an appeals court last week upheld his conviction.

Prosecutors said there is no legal basis for Judge Carl Nichols to continue the stay on Bannon serving his sentence after the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals' conclusive ruling that rejected the basis for Bannon's appeal on all grounds.

"Consequently, there is no longer a 'substantial question of law that is likely to result in a reversal or an order for a new trial,'" prosecutors wrote in their filing Tuesday.

This guy is a true monster whose belief system is every bit as demented as the Nazi's was. He literally wants a nucelar war to kill off a large portion of the population so Right Wing nuts can rebuild society with a white male totalitarian system.

fraud operation. Pay for the wall by Bannon really meant buy Bannon a luxury boat
and to let him live the good life. I don’t know if I should be happy or not that Bannon
was using theft by fraud to steal money from the MAGA morons because it hampers
the right wing’s influence but our fossil fuel industries are more than willing to make up
any shortfall.

as it was in France a century ago:
