Former Trump administration aid, Steve Bannon, will serve a four-month prison sentence beginning in July.
Bannon was charged as follows (from Justice.gov):
WASHINGTON – Stephen K. Bannon was sentenced today to four months of incarceration and ordered to pay a fine of $6,500 on two counts of contempt of Congress stemming from his failure to comply with a subpoena issued by the House Select Committee investigating the Jan. 6 breach of the United States Capitol.
As noted by the BBC, Bannon denies any wrongdoing.
Some say he’s been handed the same Biden DOJ treatment as Peter Navarro.
Navarro is currently serving a prison sentence for a similar offence.
Aside from Trump and Rudolph Giuliani, Navarro and Bannon are the biggest public figures to be pursued under the ‘insurrection at the Capitol’ narrative.
Other victims of the political pogrom include Babylon Bee actor, Siaka Massaquoi, and 71-year-old Rebecca Lavrenz. She awaits sentencing in August.
Caldron Pool reported in October 2023, speculation that this is part of a weaponised DOJ widening the net.
There have been many irregularities in conviction, including Paulette Harlow, a 75-year-old grandmother who was condemned to prison for 2-years for protesting outside and abortion clinic.
75-year-old Paulette Harlow is a wife, a mother of 6, and a grandmother of 8.
Joe Biden’s DOJ just sentenced her to 2 years in prison for peacefully praying outside an abortion facility.

Conspiracy charges were deployed against 11 pro-life supporters in January last year. Some wonder whether the harsh response to protesters has anything to do with the post-Roe v. Wade political landscape.
One of those 11 includes, 87-year-old Eva Edl – a survivor of both Soviet ‘anti-fascism’ and the Nazi occupation.
In total, 11 were found guilty on all counts and face sentencing in July, the same month Biden puts Bannon behind bars.
Bannon told Tucker Carslon that he was fine with serving time, saying he’ll be doing so for his country, not because he’s been betrayed by his country.
Our country isn’t doing this, he explained, those running the country are.
‘We’re being suppressed. We’re being oppressed by an illegitimate regime, that’s usurping power.
‘That’s what we have to break. They’re on everybody who stands up.’
During the exclusive 25-minute interview, Bannon said:
‘This illegitimate regime is trying to persecute not just President Trump, they’re going to send him to prison on July 11.
‘They’re going after Rudy Giuliani – a great American – by way of either bankruptcy, deplatforming, or removing his law licence.’
“They will never break me.”
Steve Bannon vows to stand against the regime’s persecution, even if it means becoming a political prisoner.

Bannon then added:
‘In my 20s, I served my nation for four years on a United States Navy destroyer. In my 70s, I’ll serve my country in a federal prison.
‘It doesn’t make any difference. It won’t change my life.
‘If I have to be a political prisoner, I’ll be a political prisoner.’
They’re after you non-stop.
‘They want to take out the War Room. They’re liquidating Alex Jones’ entire media infrastructure. They want to remove voices.’
This illegitimate neo-Marxist administration ‘play hardball … the only thing these people understand is smashmouth’.
‘From the justice department to the FBI, and the Wall Street crowd. You can see this everywhere in our society,’ Bannon continued.
‘The attacks on the family, and they play for keeps.
‘Understand that this is a war to the knife. We have to win this. If we don’t, this country is going to devolve into some kind of neo-Marxist totalitarian regime.’
Bannon talked about divine providence, telling Tucker his Christian faith will carry him through jail time.
He also repeatedly asserted that the current battles are about the ‘next man up’.
‘More people are going to be arrested.
‘You can’t lean on Trump. You can’t lean on Tucker. You can’t lean on Alex Jones. This is a populist revolt. You have to step up.’
