2/ Via Scott MacFarlane:

Bannon appeal argument expected next month.

Two different Contempt of Congress trials. Peter Navarro and Steve Bannon. Nearly a year apart. Neither took the stand. Neither presented a series of witnesses.

Both convicted quickly by juries.

@GottaLaff Both would've been sitting in jail if they hadn't been rich White men. :(

@GottaLaff Sentencing set for Jan. 12, 2024... Well, at least it's not 2026

@JeroenSH Or at another venue, lol

@GottaLaff @JeroenSH is he out free in the meantime?

@dingodog19 He's not violent and I believe this is his first offense. No reason to lock him up for months. It's contempt, not conspiracy. @JeroenSH

@GottaLaff @JeroenSH is it common for nonviolent crimes to have months between conviction and sentencing?

I feel like that wouldn't happen for a poor person who stole a jacket from Nordstrom's, but I don't really know.

@GottaLaff I loved the defense argument that maybe he didn't intentionally miss testifying. Cause he could have been stuck on the Metro or something.
Yeah, right ...

@GottaLaff That’s DOCTOR Guilty to you.
