Former Trump administration adviser Steve Bannon was ordered to self-surrender for his four-month prison sentence no later than July 1, a district court judge ruled Thursday.

U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols, an appointee of former President Donald Trump, lifted his previous stay on Bannon’s prison sentence. However, he did allow Bannon to appeal his decision to lift the pause on his sentence.

The decision comes after the federal government asked Nichols to impose Bannon’s sentence for being found in contempt of Congress for evading a subpoena from the now-defunct House Jan. 6 committee.

Nichols said from the bench that a written decision would be forthcoming.

This is a developing story and will be updated.

Warden Admits Biden-Harris DOJ Has Illegally Imprisoned Steve Bannon Since October 19

The Tennessee Star on Monday obtained a letter sent by the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) to attorneys representing Steve Bannon, wherein the federal agency acknowledged it is holding the former White House chief strategist in violation of the First Step Act (FSA) of 2018, as Bannon accrued 10 days of good time credit toward an early release:

    To date, Mr. Bannon has earned 10 First Step Act (“FSA”) time credits. These credits would typically be applied toward early transfer to supervision pursuant to 18 U.S.C. Section 3624 (g) (3). However, Mr. Bannon does not have a term of supervision following his term of imprisonment. Thus, his 10 FSA time credits can only be applied toward prerelease custody placement in a Residential Reentry Center or on home confinement.”

According to attorney R. Trent McCotter, who represents Bannon, “Those credits mean that Mr. Bannon could have been released to home confinement two days ago on October 19, 2024 (i.e., 10 days before the end of his sentence) – yet the BOP declined to do so, citing its view that there is ‘insufficient time’ remaining on Mr. Bannon’s sentence ‘to process’ the referral to home confinement.”

Bannon’s attorneys filed the letter as part of an effort to secure an earlier release but it was sent to Bannon’s lawyers by the Acting Warden at the Federal Correctional Institute (FCI) in Danbury, Connecticut, where Bannon is serving a four-month sentence after he was convicted in 2022 for refusing to comply with a congressional subpoena from the House select committee that investigated January 6. ...

Will the police officers encouraging the public to enter the premises be charged with aiding and abetting entering the premises AS  the videos have shown?  Lets see real justice, not just democrat awhoring justice and law enforcement on their {democrats] side.

Steve's a classic political prisoner.

And yet the feds gladly let him stay at large for the entire primaries so he could be part of the disinformation brigade against DeSantis.

Bannon's part of the psyop, like the rest of Trumpland.

I share your dislike of Trump, but you really think now is the time to give cover to Harris?

I think its time to realize that as much as we don't like him, we won't be jailed by him.  I hope you realize that.

So what happens if Bannon wins his appeal?  How do they make him whole after serving a sentence?

No, the J6ers are classic political prisoners.  Held without charges or trials.

??? Obviously, I misunderstood -- I thought he was supposed to be released?

Once again:
If he wins, Mr. Trump should offer a full pardon to ALL the Jan. 6 prisoners (even those who did in fact engage in destructive mischief). ALL of them.

He should do this as a part of his inaugural speech, emphasizing that his actions represent a repudiation of political prosecutions by the federal government.

Again, ALL of them -- immediate release.

You can't be serious. Who assaulted the over one hundred police officers who got injured?

Why should the thugs who assaulted the police be pardoned? They're guilty as hell and deserve the punishment they're getting.

I don't believe you when you say over 100 police officers were injured.

Who died?  Other than Ashli Babbitt and Rosanne Boyland?

That may be.  But is that deserving of a prison sentence?

[Weird Tolkienish Figure]

Without charges or trials? C'mon, that's patently false.

[Cyber Liberty]

Without charges or trials? C'mon, that's patently false.

Oh, they finally got around to charging them.  I did not know that they got around to it....it had to have been a year or two before they were charged, and that's not timely.

And any trials would have been in 90% Democrat DeeCee.  Political prisoners.

[goatprairie]

I don't believe you when you say over 100 police officers were injured.

You don't have to believe me. You can check the records.
But I do wish you would stop believing that ridiculous liar Trump who wants to sue the police for fighting his thugs.

[goatprairie]

Who died?  Other than Ashli Babbitt and Rosanne Boyland?

During and subsequent to the riot five people died and many cops were seriously injured. Four Trump supporters-rioters and police officer Brian Sicknick who suffered two strokes after being chemically assaulted by Trump's thugs.

Steve Bannon Released After Serving 4 Months in Federal Prison

Simon Kent 29 Oct 2024

Former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon was released from prison early Tuesday after serving a four-month sentence for defying a subpoena from the January 6 Select Committee.

He is now free one week before the 2024 election is decided.

Bannon, the host of the War Room podcast, reported to the Federal Correctional Institution in Danbury, Connecticut, back in June to begin his sentence, as Breitbart News reported.

That move into custody came after the Supreme Court denied his request to remain out of jail pending the outcome of his appeal.

In October he was sentenced to serve four months in prison on two counts of contempt of Congress for defying a subpoena from the Democrat-run January 6 Select Committee that was created to investigate the riot at the Capitol on January 6, 2021.

When he began serving his sentence in July, Bannon called himself a “political prisoner.”

“I am proud of going to prison,” he said at the time, adding he was standing up to Attorney General Merrick Garland and a “corrupt” Justice Department.

AP reports Bannon has now left custody, according to Kristie Breshears, a spokesperson for the federal Bureau of Prisons.

The 70-year-old  planned to hold a news conference later in the day in Manhattan, his representatives said. He’s also expected to resume his podcast Tuesday.
