The Sixth Amendment gives the accused the right to a speedy trial. Steve Bannon decided not to testify before the Congressional January Six Committee instead of taking the Fifth Amendment protection of self incrimination as others have done. Of course, choosing to do so indicates you think you committed a crime.

            It only took a few weeks between the Grand Jury indictment to trial and three hours to conviction. The penalty for avoiding testifying is a maximum of two years and $200,000 fine. The judge is holding off sentencing for over two months. Why the wait? Is he hoping that some politically controlled appeals court will overturn his conviction or keep delaying carrying out the sentence until the committee dissolves in January and a potential flip of the house could maybe get the subpoena revoked and maybe override the reason for the trial?

            My opinion is Steve Bannon was one of the people who helped to incite, if not aid, the insurrectionists. He was one of the people who kept telling Trump he won while his Justice Department, Staff and children said he lost. If I were the judge Bannon would get the maximum in a medium security prison. He warrants being made an example of what can happen to those who do not cooperate.
