Prosecutors requested the judge overseeing ex-Donald Trump adviser Steve Bannon's criminal contempt of Congress case to order he begin his four-month prison sentence.
My dad got sentenced to jail for 4 months and he asked the judge if he could do it starting November because his job was seasonal and the judge said sure, gave him an exact date.
Its weird, but for once this isn’t a “rich people ignore the rules everyone else has to follow” thing.
This is different because it wasn’t like his jail time was delayed at sentencing.
Instead, unlike standard sentencing, he was allowed to ignore the sentencing until AFTER his appeals.
You know how every criminal in prison spends their free time in prison working on appeals? They would all be free if the US justice system treated them like Steve Bannon.
That’s normal.
