Sounds reasonable. Is two years the maximum sentence for his crimes?
Yes

A smart judge would defer sentencing until October...and then predicate his sentence on how cooperative Bannon is in producing subpoenaed documents and testifying.
Ever see the movie "Groundhog Day"? (with Bill Murray and Andie MacDowell) Funny as hell and one of my favorites. Anywho, if they subpoena him again, it'll just be more of the same (it'll also be the very definition of insanity). Two things I've come to realize about Bannon: I can't recall anyone being charged with contempt of congress who more richly deserved it. He TRULY holds congress in contempt. Did you know all he had to do was show up at that clusterfuck of a "hearing" and plead the 5th, and they couldn't touch him? Did you know that HE subpoenaed committee members to testify at his trial? They didn't show up. Is that contempt of Bannon?
The second thing is, Bannon is a fucking honey badger. He loves this shit, and he's willing to go to jail just for the chance to play the game. Remember this from a few years ago? Never wrestle with a pig. You just get all muddy and the pig likes it.
I was very impressed with Bannon on Tucker tonight, basically "of course they are doing this to me, this is what these fucks do, this is why I am at war.....if I go to jail so be it...I am not standing down.....nor should you."
What happened to his trial from hell?
I guess Trumppers hate rule of law!
Trump people think everyone is corrupt.
Why October?
Why October?
Bannon sounds like the guy who taught Josh Hawley how to look brave!
Which, IMO, indicates Bannon has psychological issues. He's a fanatic and is willing to go to prison for a false belief. Like you said, all he had to do was show up, plead the 5th and laugh. Instead, he's deliberately pissing up a rope. He's not stupid. He knows what he is doing and he doesn't care which is why I think he's insane.
Don't be surprised if he shows up for prison, surrounded by media, and detonates a suicide vest. This idiot is determined to immolate himself one way or another.

Not a lawyer but that seems SOP to delay sentencing a few months. Frank mentioned one reason but the Defense may request it too in order to appeal before sentencing or other actions.

Lots of projection there. Interesting. Bad day checking your finances? Kids returned your letters unopened?...Your soviet forbearers used to send people like Bannon to asylums and Siberian work camps....You say potato, I say starchy tuber of the nightshade family...You just don't recognize that kind of thing because you've been blind to it for a long time.......If he plead the 5th, you guys would be whining....That would give you guys pleasure!...
Did Susan McDougal?
Post your legal idiocy when it actually happens. Anyone actually in the legal field would know this is nothing but fluff. You obviously do not know law, what do you do for a living?
So, you don’t understand mandatory minimums?
Yeah, I hear this a lot. It's pretty universal under communism, fascism, and liberalism. "He doesn't like living in our authoritarian worker's paradise! He must have psychological issues!". Your soviet forbearers used to send people like Bannon to asylums and Siberian work camps.
You say potato, I say starchy tuber of the nightshade family. He's a patriot with principles, not "false beliefs". You just don't recognize that kind of thing because you've been blind to it for a long time.
Exactly. All he had to do was show up, plead the 5th and laugh. That is precisely what I expected him to do. But I badly miscalculated his true level of contempt for congress. And so the fun begins!
Of course he knows what he's doing. If he plead the 5th, you guys would be whining that he was a little pussy and had something to hide. I don't think you would have heard a damn thing about any deposition from him, because I really don't think he has anything compelling to offer. And if he appeared live before this particular witch hunt, it would just devolve into all those jackasses spewing their contempt for HIM. And now idiots like jarod want to see him subpoenaed again? Pretty sure Bannon is up for it, just give him a few minutes to appeal the first BS pile.
Oh hell no. That would give you guys pleasure! Why the fuck would he do that?
