Said Steve Bannon, quoted in "Steve Bannon’s First Show Out of Jail Should Be a Huge Warning/Steve Bannon is back—and more dangerous than ever" (TNR)(noting that Bannon "failed to elucidate" that "he broke the law").
October 31, 2024
"If you’re not prepared to be sent to a federal prison as a political prisoner, then you’re not worthy to be in this movement, and to step forward and try to save your country."
"You have to understand: they want to put you in prison and they will put you in prison. If you can’t accept that, then you don’t know what they represent. They talk about President Trump, 'He’s gonna do this, he’s gonna do this,' look at what they’ve done."

I will take TNR's bleating seriously when Eric Holder and Merrick Garland also go to prison. They both performed the same offense.
"(noting that Bannon "failed to elucidate" that "he broke the law")."
Something Eric Holder and his allies have also "failed to elucidate".
What TNR failed to elucidate was that people in the Obama administration also ignored subpoenas and did not go to prison.
Trump’s psychosis is so exhausting. His enablers who know better are just as bad.
Trump is setting the table for “stop the steal” 2.0
“We caught them CHEATING BIG in Pennsylvania. Must announce and PROSECUTE, NOW! This is a CRIMINAL VIOLATION OF THE LAW. STOP VOTER FRAUD! CHECK OUT KAMALA’S NEW SLEAZEBAG LAWYER. WE ARE ON THEM ALL THIS TIME! Who would have ever thought that our Country is so CORRUPT?” ~ @realDonaldTrump
Translation: Trump campaign internal numbers show him losing badly.
Bannon refused to obey a subpeona and refused to hand over some documents. Seems to me Hillary and her minions did exactly the same thing when they destroyed cell phones and hard drives that were under subpeona. Plus, Hillary and her staff didn't have to ignore a subpeona to testify because the FBI allowed them to testify with immunity and they didn't even have to be sworn in. This is from memory so forgive me if I'm off in some of the details. The bottom line is we have a two tiered system of "just us" meaning if you look at who is going to jail for political crimes it's Just Us on the right.
Put down the pipe. You've had enough tds for today. Did you lose your pussy hat, by the way?
Prison!?! Lol, I liked Patton's take better - “Nobody ever won a war by dying for his country. We win wars by getting the other son of a bitch to die for his country!”
We're in a cold civil war. Everyone else can go to jail or die for their country, I'm willing to kill for mine.
The 'law' that you speak of is on slippery ground. It has been demonstrated that the 'law' can be favorably treated, even preferentially prosecuted - or ignored, as a matter of vested power & authority. Are you comfortable under this aegis, or just comfortably 'careful' - as long as that white-hot light ain't shinin' on you?
If the Harris-Walz ticket prevails, it will not be prison. It will be re-education and re-programming camps for the garbage Nazis here on the Althouse blog.
Maybe we will get to meet Nurse Ratched who will be dispensing our medications.
You might want to call your doctor. Your neds are making you hallucinate. I know, that's probably the only way dems can function in the real world.
I thought Bannon's best defense was that the Committee didn't have 13 members and a Ranking Member from the GOP. This was that fake committee with Liz Cheney on it.
Circuit Court opinion, "Bannon also raised several procedural objections to the subpoena: that the Select Committee lacked the thirteen
members and ranking minority member required by House
Resolution 503, and that he should have received a copy of
House Rule 3(b) (describing committee deposition authority)
with the subpoena. These objections suffer from a common
defect: Bannon did not raise them before the Select Committee
and therefore forfeited them.
It is undisputed that the first time Bannon raised these
arguments was in district court, long after his deadline for
responding to the subpoena had passed. Bannon Br. 54–56. A
witness cannot defend against a contempt of Congress charge
based on an affirmative defense that they were able, but failed,
to raise at the time they were ordered to produce documents or
appear. Helen Bryan, 339 U.S. at 332–35"
So, it was his lawyer's fault. I'm sure Althouse taught her students one has to raise all defenses in the trial court or, in this case, before Congress.
But this opinion is suspect as it recites that several LEO "died after" the riot.
The DC judiciary is very partisan. Julie Kelly has covered the corruption. Many Dem hacks starting with Chutkin.
Que the next greatest village people hit so that ride space Mountain can bump and grind to the music:
Every man wants to be a macho, macho man
To have the kind of body always in demand
Joggin' in the mornings, go man go
Workouts in the health spa, muscles grow
You can best believe me, he's a macho man
Glad he took you down with anyone you can
Hey! Hey! Hey, hey, hey!
Dean Wormer to Steve Bannon:
Fat, drunk, and stupid is no way to go through life, son.
Prof. Althouse can bleat about prosecutorial discretion all she wants. A law enforced only against Republicans is not much of a law.
So...police officers telling people they need to go home because the lines are too long and it's a grueling process while "voter protection" women (actual members of the democrat party) are telling people this is all above board?
They are criminals trying to subvert the vote.
Or is the judge who has now issued a ruling that the polls there need to be open an additional day, Friday, to rectify what those sleazy democrats tried to pull also an idiot?
Go pound sand!
The Soviet left Democrats Do want everyone obedient... or ruined.
*THIS*
If by some miracle Trump wins - I hope the Pelosi-cheney Jan 6th committee is investigated.
Democrats are just at war with reality.
Paper ballots voter ID and purple thumbs 1 day voting and Kamala doesn't clear 60 million votes. Everyone knows this.
They will try to claim 90 million people voted for her and most of those votes will appear in buildings surrounded by blue city police that Republicans are not allowed into.
I'm voting Hitler & The Garbage People.
The guy he said that to went on to be a United States Senator.
The Pelosi-Obama-Harris COUP is going to result in their arrest. The trial will be held in secret and they'll be hung at Gitmo.
(noting that Bannon "failed to elucidate" that "he broke the law") - But the law is selectively applied. Eric Holder was held in contempt. Nothing. Hunter Biden even showed up at the Capitol, but refused to testify - again nothing. Merrick Garland was held in contempt of congress - nothing.
But if you defied Liz Cheney's bullshit J6 propaganda committee like Bannon and Navarro, you went to jail.
(noting that Bannon "failed to elucidate" that "he broke the law") - and if the statute of limitations ran out and the want to go after you...they change it. Even if the party the claimed you harmed, says there was not harm, they'll still prosecute you. All they need is a corrupt judge and a DC or NYC jury.
Apparently he was the only person convicted of a misdemeanor to have spent time in Danbury Prison.
The scariest thing for many Americans, is unlike Bannon, they can't afford to go to jail for four months without being wiped out financially.
ALL of the J6 prisoners are political prisoners. Even if or when Trump pardons them, they are most likely financially ruined by the Ray Epps, Pelosi, and the Deep State J6 set up.

I saw "Hitler & The Garbage People" open for Marlene Dietrich at Munich's Hofbräuhaus in 1934.
@Howard: Amusingly ironic. Intentional?
No, the Congressional committees that found them in contempt were legally constituted. The J6 shitshow that found Bannon in contempt was an illegal Democratic gang.
Oh, sure, while we discuss prosecutorial inequality , Joe Biden literally eating babies
No thanks. I'll keep my hat, and you can keep your fascism. How does that big dick taste?
Even avoiding incarceration can bankrupt a defendant. The video of Harris bragging about charging parents for childs truancy has her laughing at the financial costs of hiring a lawyer, missing work, worrying about outcome, etc.
This irks me to no end. Like Harris and her truancy brainstorm, they don’t care at all about needlessly ruining peoples lives if it furthers their quest for power. It’s really sickening. Trespassers don’t deserve years in jail.
Say, whatever happened to Lois Lerner, Eric Holder, and ...?
Just plain stupid works for you.
While I admire Bannon, and I am grateful for his courage, I do like to think there is room in the tent for people who are not sure they want to go to prison. Not like one necessarily gets a choice. If I had been in DC on J6, I might well have ended up at the Capitol. It was a trap, and the people who set it understood their intended prey.
"Dixcus
The guy he said that to went on to be a United States Senator."
Nope. He said that to Kent Dorfman, the fat pledge. John Blutarsky (John Belushi) went on to become the Senator.
No, the "Congressional committee" that issued the subpoena was illegally constituted, and had no standing. Which is why Bannon quite properly treated it with the contempt it deserved.
Shrillary Clinton's IT tech committed criminal offenses by erasing evidence of her email history long before he ignored the congressional subpoena. How much time did he serve?
People in the Center and on the Right, don't want to face facts. The Democrats and the liberal/left believe in a two tier justice systems. When they have power, then people they don't like go to jail for lying to congress, lying to the IG, and for contempt of congress. People they DO like, don't. And even if the people they like get charged, a DC jury full of Democrats wont convict them.
The liberal/left in general, and the vast majority of Democrats do NOT believe in the rule of law or equal justice under the law. They believe in using "lawfare" to destroy people they don't like. If you want to keep singing Kumbaya, and muttering about how "We need to unite the country" - you need to face reality.
The Big weakness of conservatives and the "The Right" is don't want to face reality. Their response to every example of "Lawfare" from the liberal left is to point out in 3 page memo how "blah,blah this is unfair" "blah, blah, the Democrats are hypocrites" "Blah, blah, under DoJ rules..."
They don't care, dude.
The Turley and NR Andy McCarthy attitude of "oh, its just a few bad apples" or "Oh, Someone has TDS" is bullshit. The liberal/left has changed its attitude toward civil liberties, the rule of law, equal justice, and freedom of speech. Its now, "Just win, baby. Just win". The 3 SCOTUS justices vote as bloc and favor the liberal/left/Democrat position 95 percent of the time. Its about pure naked judicial power. Not the consitution. that's a dead letter to the liberal/left.
They are eating the babies! Eating the children!
Trump may well get to ignore Bannon when he is sentenced after the election. In other words. trump doesn't agree with Bannon about going to prison for the cause.
If Kamala wins, they'll be putting a lot of their opponents in jail.
The left-wing ideologues invariably operate under the Pro-Choice (selective, opportunistic) religion with principles of political congruence. All's fair in lust and abortion.
Democrazi
Howtard is clearly not taking recent events well. Someone fetch the smelling salts and schedule a wellness check for him after super Tuesday.
The only ones that suppressed evidence was the j6 commitee see waterbuffalo guy stalker hutchinson et al
To go to prison for simple tresspass while they let murderers rioter rapists go free
Which documents they didnt say of course there were issues of privilege they dosmissed
Really, the statement goes both ways. What I think he means is that those that put him in prison should realize that if Bannon gets power (via Trump), then they showed him that his jailers are willing to be political prisoners.
As it was jeffrey clark and peter navarro

Exactly. And Bannon wasn't an officer of the court or empowered with upholding the law, as they were.
Fret not Geo, Holder recently slithered back into the news campaigning for Harris this week in Michigan.
Bannon defrauded a gofundme? That’s the story I heard.
Bogus charge
I believe he still has appeals pending but they wouldn't let him defer prison until his case was heard.
While they currently, today, execute their plan to arrest and prosecute at least one J6er a day until Trump is sworn in.
As did Huma, last seen marrying Alex Soros. Never even had to worry about a day in jail for their contempt of Congress.
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/steve-bannons-border-wall-fraud-trial-set-december-rcna163558
“A judge in New York has set a December trial date for Steve Bannon's role in the "We Build the Wall" fundraising fraud case in court, the Manhattan district attorney's office said Wednesday.
The trial for Bannon, Donald Trump's former adviser, is scheduled to start Dec. 9, shortly after he is done serving a four-month federal prison term following his conviction on contempt of Congress charges in connection with a House committee's Jan. 6 investigation.
Reached for comment, Bannon attorney John Carman said his client “appreciates the court’s fairness in permitting a delay that will allow him to contribute to his own defense.””
Patriot Steve Bannon’s We Build the Wall project, what did he spend that money on I wonder.
Same. When Hillary, Joe Biden and Mike Pence are treated worse than Trump since THEY weren't President when they stole classified information.
What else is new in Regressive Progressive land of the Unicorns and Utopia??
Where did all the money allocated to building the border wall disappear to, when Progressives refused to build it, and let the stuff get stolen...(by illegals says Progressive George Lopez) Why do Congress like to blow our money like it is theirs to blow??
2600 forged voter registrations discovered in just one Pennsylvania county.
Is the county attorney's official press conference yesterday enough to make the Luegenpresse stop commenting "without evidence" after everything Trump says? It's certainly not enough to stop Rich from calling it "psychosis".
It was left to rot in the Arizona desert then sold for scrap
The best part is when Biden's cabal sold off all the expensive tax payer paid for border wall steel -> for pennies on the dollar. But that kind of corruption is legal!
Happy Halloween 🎃🎃
Trump’s Transition Team Head Says R.F.K. Jr. Converted Him to Vaccine Skeptic ~ NYT
Lutnick added that his wallet was also thoroughly inspected and RFK Jr. assured him that all the money tainted with mRNA had been removed.
Apparently the brain-worms are contagious.Too bad there's no vaccine for that…
James Clapper committed under-oath perjury in front of the Senate. When they put him in prison, I'll believe in the Department of Justice.
I bet you're fun at parties, George.
The over-wrought Soviet Language is so tired.
Bannon is so DANGEROUS.
“He was charged in September 2022 for scamming donors into giving more than $15 million to support a venture called “We Build the Wall.” Bannon has not pleaded guilty to the charges.”
I sure hope none of the good people here have given their money to that We Build the Wall scam.
He physically, and without their consent, put his mouth on 3 children yesterday. The President of the United States has an oral fixation on kids.
Ah yes, that mRNA will infect you!
This is why the Democrat Party is Fascist - anti-free speech - Soviet - and just downright horrid.
I thought her parents fled the udba for that readon
That's quite the list...
...you two are Lonnie and Jugdish. We'll let you two decide who is who...
Give it to the Government to blow instead, right Inga?? How much of OUR money does the Government waste on crap every year. YOU want Big Government to run your life, and ours, and WE DON'T. Keep your hands away from our money.
I've often wondered where that guy came from. However, not enough to actually go and find out. That is, beyond scrolling back through Althouse's Bannon tag. So.. as far as I'm concerned, he popped into existence August 17, 2016, at his mere mention, in this very particular universe, by our gracious host. I'm not entirely convinced that thanks are in order.
I sure hope that someone somewhere still believes in the concept of "innocent until proven guilty."
"Steve Bannon’s First Show Out of Jail Should Be a Huge Warning/Steve Bannon is back—and more dangerous than ever" Isn't this whole article a little ridiculous? A ''Huge Warning' to who? What is Bannon gonna do, lock himself up again and protest harder? Is this another version of the famed Monty Python 'Black Knight's threat'? The NR has made itself unreadable.
wendybar- you're using their terminology. Hillary, Biden, and Pence did steal classified information that was in their possession. Trump, as POTUS, did not. And had the power to declassify any "classified" information he had in his possession before he left office.
Steadman… say it ain’t so!
The Donald’s out there turning garbage into gold.
Howard with his self-deprecating humor! Who knew?!?!
Howard had a quick turn in that movie… an exchange with Otter in the produce section.
Hark… I hear a unicorn farting.
At the beginning of our history as a free Nation, Benjamin Franklin quipped "We [those who had just signed the Declaration of Independence} must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately". If there had been an internet in those days, Ben would have added "No joke".
I have no doubt that Bannon acted as a patriot when he committed the acts for which he was imprisoned. Fortunately for him, he wasn't hanged. But he was lawfully convicted, as far as I can tell. And he may be convicted and imprisoned again for other acts. It's not a game we are playing. If the Democrat Establishment is bad enough for "us" to break the law to oppose it, then it is bad enough to punish us for our actions. Franklin knew what he was risking, and so should we, if we follow in his footsteps.
But NOT if it's "just politics".
The Manhattan, NY DA's office.
No political agenda there, or course. Not a smidgen, as Obama would say.
I look forward to the justice coming to all of the people that required the vaccine and for the lawsuits against the drug companies to compensate the people they injured.
