They also sought to fine Bannon the maximum $200,000 allowed because he refused to cooperate with court officials’ routine presentencing investigation and divulge his financial records.
Rep. Bennie G. Thompson , the chairman of the House panel, and Rep. Liz Cheney , the vice chair, said Congress referred Bannon for prosecution to enforce accountability for those responsible for the events of Jan. 6 as well as for anyone who obstructed lawmakers’ investigation.Bannon’s lawyers contend the case will be reversed on appeal and are expected to seek a stay of any sentence pending its resolution.
U.S. prosecutors highlighted Bannon’s failure to respond or to produce a single document before the subpoena deadline, after which Bannon’s attorneys asserted that Trump intended to invoke executive privilege.
Scott J. Bloch, former head of the federal agency that protects government whistleblowers during the George W. Bush administration, pleaded guilty in 2010 and was sentenced but was later allowed to withdraw his plea and admit instead to destruction of property. He also served probation.
Remember the children of the French davidian in Waco Texas slaughtered by the FBI on false information about weapons! The FBI will murder children and women to achieve their goal!
Here is your woke FBI agents on their knees taking a political stand
Hopefully this is the beginning of criminal behavior by elected people having the same prosecution and punishment for the same criminal behavior of people who are not elected.

A
HC_Richardson Trump should be next.
If the DOJ has not punished anyone in the last 10 years to a jail term for the same thing Bannon was charged w then they are in fact weaponized and attacking political opponents and its all BS THE DOJ head should resign
WADR, TOO BAD… SteveBannon Didn’t Get A Putin - Run Russian Courts Sentencing… He’d Have Gotten 10 YEARS To Life For Being Jan6thInsurrection Type TrumpCoupAttempt Planner In Russia ‼️
That’s what Brannon wants. No better way to “fundraise” than to claim political persecution in today’s GOP.
I don’t see why they wouldn’t do it. The last I checked, if I refused to testify or answer a question, there would be consequences. I don’t understand why Steve Bannon is any different.
HC_Richardson Only six months? What a joke. And pay 300K? That’s nothing compared to the damage he has done to the country.
for treason!!!!!
HC_Richardson Bannon's never asserted his innocence, nor shown anything but contempt & belligerence towards the law & the charges. He wants exceptional treatment after breaking the law willfully & continuing to stonewall the January6thCmte. So much for his 'tough guys on the offensive' bs 🤡
Oh, that's right... because Holder and Lerner, and former FBI agents, were all Democrats, so THEY got nothing.
The TRUMPLICANS cynically believe ALL THEY have to DO IS stoke the flames of fear&hatred in the hearts&minds of voters and LIE TO them! Don't be fooled by people who couldn't care less about YOU! And, 'The worst thing about being lied to is knowing you're not worth the truth.'
This one is a real spirit lifter. He is one of the most repulsive beings ever to be let near our government.
You Mean Democrat Prosecutors! They aren't Unbiased Federal Lawyers. What a Disgrace!
Acosta He truly needs to go to jail. And not some white collar resort jail. His statements are clearly treasonous.
