Prison Just The Start of Bannons Problems as He & TRUMP Reup Retribution Vows
OLD Indicted HAS-BEENs - Bannon Put on Notice That Prison Sentence May be The Least of His Problems
Jail or dictator? Ari Melber's breakdown on Trump & Bannon reupping retribution vows
MSNRAW 7 JUN 2024
Steve Bannon's trial tribulations may have only just begun as he readies himself for prison and the district attorney who secured former President Donald Trump's criminal conviction prepares to take him to court in New York, a former federal prosecutor said Thursday night.
Glenn Kirschner appeared on MSNBC to discuss with Lawrence O'Donnell a Washington D.C. federal judge's decision to put Bannon in a federal prison for four months for ignoring a congressional subpoena from the Jan. 6 investigative committee.
"Ironically," Kirschner said, "a four-month prison term might end up being the least of Steve Bannon's problems."
Kirshner then pointed to Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's criminal indictment of Bannon on money laundering charges and a trial slated to begin in the courtroom of Justice Juan Merchan — the same judge who oversaw Trump's hush money trial — on Sept. 23.
Bannon stands accused of fleecing thousands of Trump supporters upwards of $15 million through the Florida nonprofit corporation WEBUILDTHEWALL, promising a border security project that never materialized, court records show.
Bragg brought the indictment alongside New York Attorney General Letitia James, the prosecutor behind Trump's $450 million civil fraud lawsuit.
"Bannon lied to his donors to enrich himself and his friends" James said of Bannon's indictment in 2022. “There cannot be one set of rules for everyday people and another for the wealthy and powerful."
This remark served as a direct jab at Trump, who in January 2021 granted Bannon a presidential pardon in the federal court case brought by the Southern District of New York on parallel charges.
"Trump did that enormous favor for Steve Bannon," Kirschner said Thursday. "Fortunately, the New York state authorities then began their own investigation."
Donald Trump is repeating his vows to abuse power if he wins in 2024, but now claims it’s a response to his conviction. Ari Melber reports on Trump’s continued threats following his guilty verdict.
