The judge overseeing Steve Bannon’s case has given him until Thursday to respond to federal prosecutors who are pushing for the MAGA mastermind to finally begin his four-month prison sentence. In a new filing Tuesday, prosecutors wrote, “there is no longer a ‘substantial question of law that is likely to result in a reversal or an order for a new trial,’” after a three-judge panel ruled that Donald Trump’s former strategist had no basis for appeal. The right-wing engineer behind the MAGA movement was originally sentenced for contempt in October 2022, after he failed to comply with a subpoena for the House’s Jan. 6 committee. Bannon received a stay on serving his sentence while he appealed the court’s decision, but since his efforts failed last week, federal prosecutors are arguing that Bannon’s time has finally come. ABC News reported that Bannon responded to the filing saying, “I’m shocked they want to silence the voice of MAGA.”

1. The rest of us would have been in jail a long time ago.

Why are the judges so afraid of Trump's flying monkeys?

[Traurigkeit]

10. Seems only those confident in themselves are not afraid.

Very few humans are like that.

More strenght to them that will put their self in harms way for us, the United States people.

[Irish_Dem]

11. Yes it is time for courage to do the right thing.

For the American people and to save our democracy and rule of law.

[PortTack]

2. Prison...no alcohol no drugs....gonna be tough on the fat boy!

[JoseBalow]

16. Do you really believe that?

Anything can be had in prison, especially in a cushy Federal Camp.

[GreenWave]

17. And no double shirts!

[Traildogbob]

27. And they

Bath you with a high pressure hose and delouse you. Sucks for him but great for society.

[GB_RN]

32. Delouse?

Delousing that louse? Bwahahahahaha!

They’ll need to be extra careful in that case. “Roach motel: Roaches check in, but they don’t check out.” 🪳☠️🪦

3. He was sentenced in Oct. of '22 and now more than 1 1/2 years later he is still out?

Lock him up already and then when he is done with his short stay in club fed put him on trial for
his “help pay for the wall” scam.

[Rhiannon12866]

36. I still remember seeing his "perp walk" on the news, that was in September 2022...

[Botany]

37. Bannon, "I have not yet begun to fight." ....

.. as he is walked down the hall in cuffs, by really strong tough men, and doing no fighting
at all. Any single one of those bailiffs or cops or deputies would thump his fat ass good.
Lock his ass now for the contempt charge he was found guilty of and start getting the
ducks in order for his next trial on his fraud charges (send me money to build the wall) and
hit him up on those charges as soon as he gets out from his “short stay.”

Bannon’s crimes were crimes against the American People and no doubt he had Russian
help too.

4. He still has appeals he can file...

He can request an en banc review. Then a scotus appeal.

This judge can let him stay out pending appeals

[BComplex]

6. Yeah, and tell me again that everyone is equal under the law?

BULLSHIT!!!!

[Think. Again.]

30. He hasn't filed them yet though and...

...people file appeals from prison every day.

[getagrip_already]

31. He was given seven days by the court of appeals.....

I don't think that clock has run down yet, and you can be sure he will wait till the last minute to file.

[Think. Again.]

33. I hadnct realized he was a given a stay...

...so that he could appeal the court of appeals ruling. Thank you.

[FakeNoose]

5. Pack your bags for a four-month vacation in the hoosegow, Stevie-boy!

[SKKY]

7. Steve Bannon looks like he smells like a hangover.

[Traurigkeit]

8. That is Two Days too much. Judge should of gave him 2 minutes.

U.S. Marshals informed ?

[Bev54]

19. I believe that is a Trump judge which was why he has

Been out for so long.

[Silent Type]

9. Gonna have to dip him in a vat of disinfectant.

[JoseBalow]

18. Delousing

[Gore1FL]

12. Oh, Stevie, Stevie, Please try to become a fugitive of justice to make a point... nt

[ZonkerHarris]

13. fuck that guy. lock him up.

[IronLionZion]

14. Arrest him and lock him up

we're long past politely asking MAGA criminals to show up to serve their prison sentence.

[republianmushroom]

15. WHY ??

[angrychair]

20. Why the hell are we asking permission?!?

He was fucking convicted and all appeals have failed. Why is the DOJ asking permission for him to go to jail?
No one is asking the average citizen for permission to go to jail.
I feel like I'm living in a Black Mirror episode.

[Vinca]

21. Throw his behind in jail. Maybe he'll finally get a shower.

[lastlib]

22. Let the consequences begin!

Why wait two f***ing days? Haul his fat caboose in NOW.

[Novara]

23. Go to jail. Go directly to jail. Do not pass GO.

[BumRushDaShow]

25. ...

[dchill]

24. Fine, if you lock him up until he responds.

[bucolic_frolic]

26. Start his sentence July 15 so he's not out until after the election

[flying_wahini]

28. Tik tock MFr Wish I could be there to applaud.

[Oopsie Daisy]

29. Get your affairs in order, Bannon... and empty your refrigerator of perishables *

* and take your dogs to a sitter's house.

[liberalmediaaddict]

34. Imagine if prison changes him LOL

That after spending several months in prison Bannon comes out a changed man. No longer an evil traitor hell bent on destroying democracy.

That he'll abandon white supremacy and embrace diversity. That he'll see Trump for the monster that he is.

And actually learn to regularly shower, shave and wash his clothes.

Doubtful but fun to think about...

From what I've read Peter Navarro is having a miserable time locked up.

35. Bannon

LOCK HIM UP!
