Breaking: The federal government wants a six-month prison sentence and a $200,000 fine for Steve Bannon, who has been convicted of contempt of Congress.
“For his sustained, bad-faith contempt of Congress, the Defendant should be sentenced to six months’ imprisonment — the top end of the Sentencing Guidelines’ range — and fined $200,000 — based on his insistence on paying the maximum fine rather than cooperate with the Probation Office’s routine pre-sentencing financial investigation,” prosecutors wrote in“A person could have shown no greater contempt than the Defendant did in his defiance of the Committee’s subpoena,” the government added..
The committee also played footage of Bannon saying on his podcast on Jan. 5 that “all hell is going to break loose tomorrow,” and that “it’s not going to happen like you think it’s going to happen.”
