(CNN) Steve Bannon won't be detained before trial on charges of contempt of Congress after he failed to comply with subpoenas from the House committee investigating January 6.

Bannon, a former adviser to former President Donald Trump, appeared in federal court for the first time Monday. He will be arraigned on Thursday.

Prosecutors did not seek to detain Bannon before trial. Under conditions approved by the judge, Bannon agreed to weekly check-ins, to surrender his passport, provide notice of any travel outside the district and seek court approval for travel outside the continental United States.

Each count carries a minimum of 30 days and a maximum of one year in prison and a fine of up to $100,000.
Before his court appearance, Bannon turned himself in Monday morning at an FBI field office in Washington. He was met by a swarm of media and was defiant when addressing TV cameras outside the building, saying, "We're taking down the Biden regime."

Political persecution?

 

[BidenPresident]

Bannon is lucky he does not live in an authoritarian country that he admires--he would have been beaten in jail.

Who thought that? he is rich and connected. I know nobody he did not think he would be out in a couple of hours. Do you think it is all over now?

I don't believe you.

WHEN WILL ERIC HOLDER AND OBAMA'S IRS CHIEF BE ARRESTED FOR THE SAME EXACT "CRIME"?

duh

Did you read the thread where he turned himself in? Clearly there were many who thought it would be immediate and swift jail time for Bannon.

 

[Micawber]

Did anyone here think a non violent offender with no record would be denied bail?

Another person who pretends he never saw what they were saying in the "Bannon turns himself in" thread. Yawn.

No, people are just disgusted that your side plays 4 corners offense and abuses our judicial system like tissue paper.

Like who? I know nobody who thought he was going directly to jail.

I know nobody who thought he was going directly to jail.

So you said already. I still don't believe you.

Not a lawyer but I was curious on what would happen. Aren't the rules on this unused for a 100 years or something? Seems kinda new territory.

Plus it lets Steve go home to commit seppuku. LOL

Remember Rommel? Bannon is certainly a die-hard believer but it's not Trump's agenda he's following. If anything, he and a few others have steered Trump to this point using the roar of crowded arenas as bait.

How this all plays out will be the next "All the President's Men" for the 21st century. Should be fucking awesome....and a damn good mini-series!

Funny how these supposed and so-called "patriots" and "law & order" right-wingers always side with and defend traitors and criminals.

Your side? Dude, the Democrats do the same thing. In fact, wasn't the Obama administration the first Democratic President without a sex scandal since Jimmy Carter? I voted for Ford, but it was my first election.

Both sides use whataboutism to keep pushing their shit and it's the American public which suffers by two political parties that put party politics ahead of the best interests of the nation.

That said, Bannon is a die hard. He'd rather go out as a martyr. I think he does look bad and is the type to go out with a bang, not a whimper. Trump is a whimperer. He'll die whispering "Daddy, daddy"

Of course you don't. That's what you do.
