I have not been paying a whole heck of a lot of attention to Bannon's situation and trial because, well, it is Steve Bannon. He refused to follow a subpoena issued to him by the January 6 House Select Committee and was hit with 2 charges of criminal contempt of Congress. I believe one was for refusing to appear in person and one was for refusing to submit requested documents but I could be getting that confused with Peter Navarro. There is just so much criming in Trump World that it gets difficult to keep it all straight.
In any case the jury came back after like 3 hours with 2 guilty verdicts. He faces at least 30 days in jail but we won't find out exactly what kind of time he will serve on October 21 when he attends the sentencing hearing. Stay tuned!

Three hours? What did they do, take a two hour, forty five minute lunch break?

As I said in the Sojourner's post, I'm glad that justice finally prevails.

Neglecting a subpoena will be more than worst soon.
