He's Going Down: Bannon's 'Tough Guy' Talk Melts Down As DOJ Vet Predicts Conviction - The Beat MSNBC

[Rhiannon12866]

Today Steve Bannon’s trial begins for criminal contempt of Congress. Day one consisted of the selection of jurors, and Bannon himself spoke after, saying in part that it would have been “more productive if we’d been on Capitol Hill addressing the nation,” and saying that the Jan. 6 committee “has been nothing but a show trial.”

Former Federal prosecutor John Flannery joins Ari Melber on what to expect in this trial, saying “[Bannon’s] at risk to be the first of the inner circle to go down,” and he expects the jury to pierce “that veil of these powerful, omnipotent people who thought they could do anything in their arrogance. His defenses aren’t going to hold up.” Aired on 07/18/2022.

1. Delouse the slob & lock him up.

2. Does anyone know the most he could serve in prison?

Is it a slap on the hand?

This conviction will be on his resume, he will love having it as long as he doesnt have to spend much time in jail.

4. Inevitable, probably, which means my question is moot.
