Bannon found GUILTY

Former Donald Trump advisor Steve Bannon was found guilty today of contempt of Congress, after refusing to provide documents and to appear for a deposition in front of the January 6th Committee.

Bannon could serve up to two years after being convicted of both misdemeanors. Bannon, who is known as a right-wing extremist who seeks to deconstruct the "deep state," tried to save his own skin before the trial began this week by offering to testify before the committee but only in a live setting. 

The committee was not going to allow this deeply unhinged man to turn the January 6th Committee hearings into a Trump circus.      

Remember, Bannon has already been convicted of ripping off Trump supporters. Bannon and others were convicted of soliciting donations under false pretenses. They said the funds would be used to help build Trump's wall on the southern border, but the money was not being used for those ends, but instead being embezzled by Bannon and the other swamp monsters. 

Trump pardoned Bannon on his way out the door for this crime in early 2021.

Bannon was also part of the attempted coup that happened on January 6th, 2021. Beyond his statement on his podcast on Jan. 5, 2021, that all hell was going to break lose the next day, he also appeared to be aware of Trump's plan to say the election was stolen if he lost. (Listen to the audio below).  

Bannon explained that Trump would just declare that the election was stolen regardless of the outcome, like he actually did in the early morning hours on the day after the election. Bannon also called Trump a "King" in the audio and that he will never have to win another election. He was clearly aware of the coup attempt ahead of time.

As you can see, this was all premeditated. Bannon is a co-conspirator like those involved in the plot to take down our government in April 1865. Those co-conspirators, who tried to assassinate the heads of our government in 1865, were all tried, and those found guilty of treason against the United States paid the highest price for their crimes.

The next step is for the justice department to round up this collection of fascist co-conspirators who are in favor of violating our Constitution and installing an authoritarian against the will of the people. These people, including Bannon, must also be put on trial for treason.

If there are no consequences, we only encourage the next wave of domestic terrorists and coup plotters to try again.
