At first I didn't think he would serve any time, but now I feel like it's inevitable. This case has failed in everyway possible. Now his team is saying they will not be presenting a defense
I haven't been following it closely but reportedly the judge had made a pre-trial ruling eliminating most if not all of their defenses. I imagine they're aiming to set up an appeal at this point.
Yeah, after the judge denied all of his potential defenses, his lawyer complained “with no defense what is the purpose of a trial ?” The judge said “I agree and that’s something you should consider”. And yet…
He should make a deal. He must think he will get a pardon if he drags things out. In some alternative universe he is the man who saved America from China.
Someone priveleged like him will either get a low security country club or house arrest. He will not get the pound me in the ass federal prison.
I remember watching videos of the Italian Parliament and thinking these folks are bat shat crazy. Now I watch videos of our congress and remember that Italy had the common sense to kick his sorry ass out.
Bannon is charged with a misdemeanor. If convicted, he hasn’t helped himself by his public statements.
