Steve Bannon, a longtime ally of former President Donald Trump, was sentenced Friday to serve four months behind bars after defying a subpoena from the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.
U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols allowed Bannon to stay free pending appeal and also imposed a fine of $6,500 as part of the sentence. Bannon was convicted in July of two counts of contempt of Congress: one for refusing to sit for a deposition and the other for refusing to provide documents.apnews.com/article/capitol-siege-steve-bannon-congress-donald-trump-sentencing-36d412eba9e1609a030859852378ae3dWhat do you think?

4 months for what?...oh no... In imposing the sentence, the judge noted that Bannon did have a lawyer. Before the judge handed down the sentence, Bannon’s lawyer, David Schoen, gave an impassioned argument railing against the committee and saying Bannon had simply done was his lawyer told him to do under Trump’s executive privilege objections.

Actually from what I understand, he might not have been allowed a lawyer (not a Trump lawyer in any case at the committee which seems to be why he didnt show up to testify) and this lawyer Schoen was to do with the sentencing or before

The committee didn't sentence Bannon. Thats not what Im disputing The committee was formed by representatives of the people. Sent to Washington to do the right thing. Investigating a violent attack on the government is the right thing to do.

I didnt dispute that either. Are you still following the exchanges so far ok? I think it’s you not him that’s not following. ABCNews.com Former Trump adviser Steve Bannon was sentenced Friday following his conviction on two counts of criminal contempt of Congress, after he defied a subpoena from the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. He was subpoenaed by the Jan. 6 panel for records and testimony in September of last year. He refused to comply and was found guilty of contempt in July.Had Hillary defied the seven, not just one, but SEVEN House hearings on her role in the Benghazi fiasco, she’d been locked up. What do you think he has to hide?

What does he need a Trump lawyer for? Seems like when a criminal gets convicted when they are guilty, you say, "But he only had his defense attorney. He didn't have somebody else's lawyer.

Trump is not being subpoenaed here. Bannon has not been treated unjustly. He and others simply believe the law does not apply to them.

I fully understand that Trump’s lawyer is not needed because this is Bannon’s contempt of Congress charge, not Trump’s.
