I hope they throw the book at Bannon. He is one malignant piece of crap.

I couldn't find any picture of Bannon in handcuffs.
And, he got to return home? Why isn't he in jail now? Did they already have a bail hearing?? Isn't this a criminal charge?

Bannon is ignoring those contributors whom he defrauded. I wonder how they feel now, or is this crime okay with them?
