He should be sentenced for longer. We should treat contemp worse than drug possession.

Sixty years wouldn’t be enough for this slime ball.

@Nancy Lee – Do you even know the legal definition of a “Congressional order”???🤦🏻♂️
half a year? No wonder they crime so overtly.
If he was found guilty on two counts of contempt of Congress he should be sentenced to at least one year in prison without bail or parole and $500,000 in fines
Democrats: 😭😭😭😭
Yes, amen!
@Randy Bobandy pretty sure disregard for the rule of law is exactly the reason why. Held in contempt of Congress. 🥱
Previous reporting stated that six months is the minimum for EACH of his two convictions. His maximum time in prison was a total of two years. The minimum time was six months for EACH crime (refusing to testify and refusing to turn over documents) but the judge had the option to allow them to run concurrently.
hope that is true
Penalties for violations (a misdemeanor) include a fine of up to $100,000 and a jail term of one to 12 months.
This would be a misdemeanor and would depend on the federal sentencing guidelines.
He will think that is a fair price for all the evil he’s gotten away with.
@Bill Nye The Chinese Spy – Elaborate on _what_ ? I don’t recall addressing you…(?)
@Krugg Michaels – Yeah, exactly what I’m talking about… you hang in there…🙏🙏🙏🙏
@Samuel Luria my bad, internet is hostile
@Bill Nye The Chinese Spy – I can handle it; if you have an issue, state it.
Just six months? Man, this country is kind hearted. I can assure you that if Trump and Bannon were in charge, they would not call for six-month sentences for anybody.
@Farriba Habibi lamb chops and wine 🍷
He needs to pay legal consequences for his actions. Steve Bannon is not above the law
This guy gets 6 months sentence while people get 6 years for weed? This is absurd for the high crimes that this man has done and is walking around with slaps on the wrist. This is disgusting.
@Dave Kirkeby THIS is truly 🤮 Poor Crystal 😪 Awful ol’ rich white men .
It’s crazy.
How much will he do? 2 weeks??
Six months? That’s a slap in the face to others who are done LESS …… WOW
It’s a slap in the face to Lady Liberty🗽
Now that’s a real deterrent to nothing.
I think Bannon should be sentence to the fullest extent of the law.
It is. Sorry, I mean really sorry. Life in prison I’d love💙💜💚
@Randy Bobandy Randy do see what you’re saying…..your threating. Take a step back man. Brannon is a bad man. I do consider him the worst. There is a book and a video. CAMBRIDGE ANALYTICS. Invest some time. It’s by a guy who worked for Bannon. Mark my words💙💜💚
@Jody Who what threat? I’ll Wait.
@Randy Bobandy Thank you. I don’t want you to be so angry. Hang in there 💙💜💚
Oh heck no!!! Bannon asking for probation!!! Maximum sentence is a must!!
6 months for Bannon is way too light.

His lack of remorse and his lack of conscience is disturbing. He is a menace to society.
He really is, he has some chip on his shoulders, he was probably passed-over on a promotion in the Navy, he thought he should have gotten.
@Jeff C I know that for sure
Just imagine, only 6 months for all that? Who makes such laws? People are being locked away 3-6 years for lesser offenses #friendsofscoan
Lessor offenses? It’s contempt of congress, not murder. It’s a simple misdemeanor
6 whole months? Well I would be frightened to death to ignore a subpoena after this…teeth chattering fear of Congress, and their power to unleash a heartless and cruel court system.
Contempt usually doesn’t carry a long possible jail sentence, unless it’s coersive contempt (get out of jail as soon as you do the thing). A few people have actually spent years in jail because they have refused to do something the court ordered them to do. If you are Black, like Melvin Davis and Licurtis Reels, you can be held in jail for over 14 years.
Why just six months? He deserves a much longer sentence after showing little regard of the law.
