Give Bannon the max on each count, to be served consecutively. 2 years in the slammer is still a pretty light sentence for all of the damage this slug has done to the country.
He should do the max. And not in a country club prison. People like him lie to achieve power, money, and a soapbox. Those privileges should be minimized because he used them to destroy our democracy.
I believe he deserves the maximum + since his history of illegal behavior. He must be made an example for what’s to come in the future. This lawlessness is not over. We need to clean house.
Hi Ari!!! This loudmouth should definitely get the maximum 2 years. He has gotten away with way too much already. Shout out to the whistle guy, he didn't shut him up, but was fun to watch.😚
Good luck today on your prison reform event. Thank you for continuing to fight for justice. Be safe.🙏
Hey V, Happy Saturday!! I agree with you X100! I wonder if the whistle guy is the same person who holds up those signs behind him. Either way, good for him! Wishing I were in NYC to see the Summit. I know it was a good conversation. Hopefully it was recorded. 😊
Hi C.G..!!!😀 I think it's probably a group of democracy supporters trying to do their best to personally troll the traitors. It was very funny., but the poor guy was running out of breath.
It would be awesome if this morning's Summit will be available on You Tube. I'm sure Ari will let us know.
Hi CalenderGrl and V Garcia and anyone else that is interested in watching last weekend’s event (UJC Summit - Inaugural Social Justice Convention: Ari was one of the moderators of the panel discussion, Conditions on Confinement), here is the YouTube video link:
Hi CalenderGrl, I saw a lot of people with cameras so my guess is that it was recorded and hopefully they will put it up on YouTube or something like that
Hi V Garcia, yes I made it to NYC for Ari’s event. The topic was on Conditions on Prison Confinement . There’s this lady - her son committed suicide in Parchment prison...she could not finish telling her story because she was crying. The panel’s description of this prison (they showed pictures) was beyond unacceptable, horrifying and inhumane. Temperature of a prison cell reaches up to 145 degrees Fahrenheit - talking about scorching heat 🥵 I am very glad that with this kind of forum, helped to bring awareness to this atrocities and expose the prison conditions.
OH, MY! It breaks my heart to hear that! At some point, we simply have to get this stuff right. Yes, prisons are needed, but in America, they’re more for big business, opposed to rehabilitation. Hard as it may be, we must provide humanity to the inhumane. Difficult as it was, I can see it was a learned experience for you, Sandra.
Hi Olddiva, yes it was a very good experience. “...they’re more for big business, opposed to rehabilitation. “ - unfortunately this is so true. The name “Correctional Facility or Corrections” is a misnomer based on the terrible prison conditions.
I remember that they mentioned the country Norway as a model to emulate...their prison system is designed to actually rehabilitate people and it is in livable conditions.
I recall seeing a story about a country’s prison system on 60 Minutes, many years ago. May have been Norway. As you say, a very humane system for true rehab. If I recall, they were permitted to work and carry on somewhat of a regular life, while serving their time. I can’t remember it all, but I know it was majorly positive.
I was at the panel discussion as well. The US over-incarcerates Black men especially, and then strip incarcerated persons of their humanity. I felt the mother's anguish as she described her son's pleas for help and her sense of helplessness as the prison industrial complex blocked her from every angle.
The point was also made that PETS could not be locked up in solitary confinement for 23 hrs per day, or kept in cells where temperatures reached as high as 145 degrees with no A/c. Yet, that is done to HUMAN BEINGS. #EndSolitaryConfinement
Hi Sandra!!! So many officials don't see these inmates as human beings. Yes they are incarcerated because they broke the law, but they are paying their debt to society and shouldn't be treated like they don't matter. They have families who will be waiting for them when their time is up.😑
So glad our two Sandra girls were representing us today!!!😊
Yes, Sandras were in the house! 😊 The young man in question was taking care of his 3 little boys....his mom had to call his probation officer once cause his phone fell in the tub. They arrested him! For not calling a p.o.⁉️ Then placed him in a situation where he was molested and abused. He cried out for help, but to no avail, which caused him to take his life out of despair.
Again, for not calling a p.o. himself one time! And he gets put with violent criminals. This broke my heart into a million pieces. 😫😭
Hi SandraR, my namesake, I am glad that you made it to the Social Justice event...that panel discussion was very touching. Thanks on clarifying that human beings cannot be in such terrible conditions just like pets are not kept in those conditions. “The US over-incarcerates Black men especially, and then strip incarcerated persons of their humanity.” - the movie The 13th directed by Ava DuVernay described how the prison system is designed. The conditions of the American Prison system needs a complete overhaul
How sad for a mother to have to retell the story of her son's suffering and death. I have read alot about the conditions in the prisons and how inhumanely they are treated. 😢 I do hope it will be aired at some time. Thanks Sandra!!!🙏
As John Flannery said, we've crossed the rubicon. I think he should be given the 𝙢𝙖𝙭𝙞𝙢𝙪𝙢 punishment. Let's rattle Navarro, and those other clowns with a Bannon example!
The maximum is not enough. Firstly, his poisonous rhetoric is far reaching and secondly. any more witnesses coming forward need to see how serious defiance of this investigation is.
Exactly! Collectively, it's agreed there NEEDS to be consequences, otherwise, the DOJ is signaling to the world, America tolerates gross, twisted and maniacal behavior.
Ari, while I would love to Bannon given two years, no concurrent service, that is unlikely. That said, it would be great if there was at least a minimum of two six months sentencing, consequently a full year in prison. Can’t happen to a nicer fella. Thank you for you ongoing work, passion, balanced reporting, and legal analysis.
I wish he would receive the maximum sentence because of his willful defiance of the law however I doubt that he does. His guilt in a court of law is slight compensation. I don’t pretend to be unbiased when it comes to the planners of the January 6th insurrection. It’s probably good I am not a judge
Hi Truda, I too fear he will not get the maximum. But whatever he gets, you know he will appeal, appeal appeal. We all saw how dangerously close those insurrectionists came to destroying our democracy on January 6. They ALL should be held accountable for any part they played in the planning of the attempted coup.
Mr. Bannon is somewhat like a petulant child. In fact, I have five grandchildren under the age of 6, and I see him fitting into their play group quite nicely. Except that Mr. Bannon is dangerous. His mission in life is to destroy our government - through his War Room podcast, with his public speeches, and even with his courthouse steps antics. These convictions won't stop him, but maybe putting him in jail or prison for a couple years would give the country a breather that it so desperately needs. Aside from that, his defiance of the subpoena was willful and arrogant. It was an "educated" choice. I like the idea of Mr. Bannon getting the maximum sentence on each charge, to be served consecutively.
After having grifted the public for the “wall” and having been pardoned, Bannon basically, returned to the scene of the crime and committed even more egregious acts. Consequently, he deserves the full extent of the law, two years, in this case. I hope Joyce Vance is wrong about serving out the time in jail over prison. If it’s jail, let it be the cruddiest one in DC, with the harshest criminals housed.
Hey Diva!!! This is exactly how I feel. His consistent criminal background alone should be reason enough to go for the maximum. He needs a hard lesson and so do others. And I too hope it's the worst jail location possible if it's not prison.
😂Hi Calender Grl, great to hear from you! This judge has not taken any of the okie-doke, Bannon has dished out. Perhaps he will remain diligent in his sentencing.
It's so good hearing from you too!! I hope this weekend is a good one! I'm trying to stay out of the heat and in the AC. 😂 I really hope you're right. Here's hoping he gets the max!
Seemingly, nothing these days, especially under the last administration. Bernie, I have watched Ivanka receive $250 million plus of our government dollars for her so-called “Women’s Empowerment” organization. Last year, Daily Beast did an excellent investigative piece about it. Sure would like to know where that story landed, other than a thud. It’s appearing more and more, there was a financial empowerment to her, also known as a GRIFT, Bernie.🤣
I’d give him 2 years. He needs time to consider his contribution in this fiasco. I loved Joyce’s comment about the guy with the whistle making more sense than he did. Still laughing this morning. Thank you for your great work, Ari
For the true meaning of justice for the all the damage he’s inflicted on our country, he should get the max sentence of 2 years. He’s a traitor, coward and really not all that bright. Won’t get into how disgusting he always looks...🤢. But, being a white male, the 2 years won’t happen. It’s just so important to send a strong message right now. What happens to Bannon, Navarro, the other criminal Trump cronies, along with Trump himself is going to determine this country’s fate for the future. I’m praying for a bright, optimistic future with vermin like them far, far away. Great coverage as always Ari.
Give Bannon the max on each count, to be served consecutively. 2 years in the slammer is still a pretty light sentence for all of the damage this slug has done to the country.
Peter, I DO believe the Judge has your thoughts in mind...DON'T YOU :)
Yes totally. Show an example of him, because they will do this again. This was just a test run.
The problem is, they'll let him out in just a couple of months.
The loudmouth should get the maximum: 2 years in jail
And so should Navarro not too long after
It is time to go to the cashier to pay debts owed !!!!
Serge, People in the USA are repeating THAT Very same WISH!!!
He should do the max. And not in a country club prison. People like him lie to achieve power, money, and a soapbox. Those privileges should be minimized because he used them to destroy our democracy.
I believe he deserves the maximum + since his history of illegal behavior. He must be made an example for what’s to come in the future. This lawlessness is not over. We need to clean house.
One of the foundations of punishment is deterrence, and that would certainly deter some other rational witnesses who are evaluating this.
Agreed, simply for the history of illegal behavior alone.
Lock Him Up! Lock Him Up! Preferably in a cell next to his pal Donny T.
Judy! I REALLY have that very same (THOUGHT)/wish, in mind....."great-minds-think alike" :)
They both would look good in orange jumpsuits.😁
Judy......NOTHING in the world Could perform a miracle like THAT...lol
DITTO!!!! To all of you I don't think Manson is still alive but if you were that would be the perfect place for Bannon and all his cohorts
🤭
Lolol! If they are next to each other they could plan an escape. Maybe solitary confinement?
Hi Ari!!! This loudmouth should definitely get the maximum 2 years. He has gotten away with way too much already. Shout out to the whistle guy, he didn't shut him up, but was fun to watch.😚

I love a good trolling of the traitors! Also, I will be searching on YouTube for the video of the Summit. Have a great weekend as well! 😊

I don't know how I missed your message and sorry I'm late! Thank you, Sandra!!! I'll definitely check this out! 😊😊😊
Hi CalenderGrl, I saw a lot of people with cameras so my guess is that it was recorded and hopefully they will put it up on YouTube or something like that

Thanks😃 You too! Stay cool and hydrated...this extreme heat is real

But Joanie.......there ISN'T anything else to sentence (this CAD) to........Is there? Unfortunately! :)
Hi Bernie! No there isn't, but I WISH there was!
Maximum, of course. Thanks for all your great coverage.
🙏
Mr. Melber—

We all saw how dangerously close those insurrectionists came to destroying our democracy on January 6. They ALL should be held accountable for any part they played in the planning of the attempted coup.
That's my question. If he appeals, how does that work for jail time if it's mandatory minimum? He still get the minimum while appealing, right?
V.G.... WHAT? 'Clean your mouth out YOUNG LADY-GRANDMA!!!! "Bernie" lol
Have a good weekend!!!😊
Thanks so much. I hope you have a good one too
Mr. Bannon is somewhat like a petulant child. In fact, I have five grandchildren under the age of 6, and I see him fitting into their play group quite nicely. Except that Mr. Bannon is dangerous.

Lori! Problem IS............you grand-children are definitely TOO SMART, to want this "TRUMPET" anywhere near them, RIGHT? :)
After having grifted the public for the “wall” and having been pardoned, Bannon basically, returned to the scene of the crime and committed even more egregious acts. Consequently, he deserves the full extent of the law, two years, in this case. I hope Joyce Vance is wrong about serving out the time in jail over prison. If it’s jail, let it be the cruddiest one in DC, with the harshest criminals housed.
Hi Diva!!!! Yes he should be treated exactly like other criminals. Thrown in a tiny sweaty cell, with no windows and made to work for any privileges.
😂😂😂Hi, V! I relate to the sentiments, and a great weekend for you, too!
Hey Diva!!! This is exactly how I feel. His consistent criminal background alone should be reason enough to go for the maximum. He needs a hard lesson and so do others. And I too hope it's the worst jail location possible if it's not prison.

Olddiva.............WHAT the heck does GRIFTED mean......in this country... (OF OURS) :)
Seemingly, nothing these days, especially under the last administration. Bernie, I have watched Ivanka receive $250 million plus of our government dollars for her so-called “Women’s Empowerment” organization.

Maximum for Bannon because he doesn't believe in laws and Meadows has to start testifying too.
