He faces up to a year for each count, so 2 years max is possible.

Good to know.  Let's keep going at this--go after Mark Meadows next.

The decision will probably be quicker for Meadows since they just went through a lot of the work.

I couldn't find anything on the Fox website about it all day. Usually these types of stories are buried but still exist on there.

I don't think it helps Bannon if he drags it out until the midterms. Congress can ask for the case to be dropped, but Garland doesn't have to comply. He'd have to drag it out until the next administration and hope it's Trump, so the Justice Department drops the case or he gets a pardon or something.

Trump ally Steve Bannon surrenders after his indictment on two counts of contempt of Congress

Steve Bannon, a former adviser to former President Donald Trump, turned himself in to the FBI Monday morning after being indicted on criminal contempt charges for refusing to cooperate with the House committee investigating January 6.

Bannon was defiant when addressing TV cameras, saying, "We're taking down the Biden regime."

Bannon, 67, was charged last week with one count related to his refusal to appear for a deposition and another related to his refusal to produce documents to the House committee investigating January 6. Each count carries a minimum of 30 days and a maximum of one year in jail, the Department of Justice said.
