Steve Bannon, a longtime ally of Donald Trump, vowed investigations and prosecutions of those who have probed the former president and his political allies, declaring at a conservative gathering Saturday that Inauguration Day in 2025 will be “accountability day.”
Pointing to Trump’s recent conviction in New York, Bannon told a crowd at Turning Point Action’s “The People’s Convention” in Detroit, hours before Trump was scheduled to speak, that the former president’s allies are going to “get every single receipt.”
“You are going to be investigated, prosecuted and incarcerated,” he said. “This has nothing to do with retribution. It has nothing to do with revenge. Because retribution and revenge might be another order of magnitude. This has to do with justice.”
Bannon was referring to recent comments by Trump vowing to be his supporters’ “retribution” and saying that “sometimes revenge can be justified.”
How is this vampire ghoul not in prison?
He has to report by July 7th IIRC
Just curious, does it work this way for regular people? It seems like the justice system really puts on the kid gloves for these right wing shitbags.
Over 90% of cases end in plea bargains, with convicts reporting directly to prison from the court room. Others are remanded into police custody immediately following the verdict.
If you have money, you can delay imprisonment during the appeals process. And that process can be dragged out indefinitely with enough friendly judges.
As far as I am aware, yes you have a small amount of time to get your affairs in order and then you report.
I’m sure there are plenty of cases when they just take you away immediately and let your outside life fall apart. I think that’s an exercise for the sentencing judge and you can imagine how well it goes for poor people, PoC, etc.
