Interesting timing


DANBURY, Conn. (AP) — Longtime Donald Trump ally Steve Bannon was released from prison early Tuesday, after serving a four-month sentence for defying a subpoena in the congressional investigation into the U.S. Capitol attack on Jan. 6, 2021.

Bannon left the Federal Correctional Institution in Danbury, Connecticut, according to Kristie Breshears, a spokesperson for the federal Bureau of Prisons. He planned to hold a news conference later in the day in Manhattan, his representatives said. He’s also expected to resume his podcast Tuesday.

Bannon, 70, reported to the prison July 1 after the Supreme Court rejected his bid to delay the prison sentence while he appeals his conviction.

A jury found Bannon guilty in 2022 of two counts of contempt of Congress: one for refusing to sit for a deposition with the Jan. 6 House Committee and a second for refusing to provide documents related to his involvement Trump’s efforts to overturn his loss to Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential race.

I hope we all learned a lesson from this. You will go to prison if you defy Congress, or go to Congress and not answer their questions or outright lie in testimony to Congress... unless you are employed by the government, then there are never any punishments. They should probably just change the laws to outright state that it only applies to civilians.

Comply or be punished by the machine

You are absolutely not allowed to use privileged, non-public information to trade, buy, or sell securities, as that's insider trading and is absolutely against the law.

Unless you're in Congress. Then you can get away with it impunity, at worst paying minimal fines, though most of the time, not facing any repercussions.

This is one of the biggest things that pisses me off

Insider trading and power via political / lobbying / business connections are the ONLY reasons anyone goes to Congress.

It sure as shit isn't to "serve" the public or their constituents.

Yeah, weird they all come out millionaires based off their salaries

All done because of Joe Biden and the fake and gay Jan 6th shillmmittee...

Republicans never put Eric Holder in jail or the other person who's name I forgot who also defied a subpoena...

This is the year of the Cannon, I mean, Bannon

He says that it did him good, and he certainly looks recharged compared to before he went in. He has lost weight and looks healthier, and has a bit of a wildman thing going with the hair and 19 layers of clothing. Looks like he just walked out of an Alaskan forest.

Was kind of hoping to see Bannon come out wearing a doo-rag and smoking a blunt, give a shout out to T-Bone and Dr. Hate.
