Unfortunately he could actually do time for that. When you think about how crooked Congress is it really makes me sick. Just about all of those crooks get inside stock information.

How much time did Eric Holder serve for contempt of Congress?
I forget.

So did Obama's AG Holder after Fast and Furious. Nothing ever happened.
It is worth noting that no one, until now, is ever charged by the U.S. Justice Dept in a “contempt of congress” issue, including former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder who was similarly found in contempt of congress. The current DOJ and FBI are fully compromised political tools of a corrupt DC system of justice.

I think Bannon is a blowhard and wouldn't want him as a close advisor to anybody, but he sure got railroaded here.
Look at the difference between his verdict and Sussman's.
Wonder why?

With antics like this any rational person should have a healthy contempt of congress.

He faces a minimum sentence of 30 days and a maximum of one year in prison for each of the two counts.

Most intelligent people hold all of congress in contempt for being a collection of dishonest, feckless, power hungry greedy assholes. Maybe a handful are decent but the vast majority are worthy of contempt.

I don't care if you think he's a blowhard or any such crap. I'm completely sick and disgusted with all the one sided dim political antics by shit faced shiff and ilk like him. They need to all attend a necktie party for treason.

Steve Bannon is a stallion. I was a bit leery of him at first but he is a true patriot and a fighter.
"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown

Contempt doesn't begin to describe what I feel toward congress.

Exactly right.
Calling him a blowhard is quite undeserved and misplaced.

One imagines a lot of people, upon seeing this news, will wonder "I don't get it. What's remarkable, much less illegal, about contempt for Congress?"
