Steve Bannon, a longtime ally of Donald Trump, vowed investigations and prosecutions of those who have probed the former president and his political allies, declaring at a conservative gathering Saturday that Inauguration Day in 2025 will be “accountability day.”
Pointing to Trump’s recent conviction in New York, Bannon told a crowd at Turning Point Action’s “The People’s Convention” in Detroit, hours before Trump was scheduled to speak, that the former president’s allies are going to “get every single receipt.”
“You are going to be investigated, prosecuted and incarcerated,” he said. “This has nothing to do with retribution. It has nothing to do with revenge. Because retribution and revenge might be another order of magnitude. This has to do with justice.”
Bannon was referring to recent comments by Trump vowing to be his supporters’ “retribution” and saying that “sometimes revenge can be justified.”
Isn’t this dipshit supposed to be in prison right now?
He’s currently pleading that he shouldn’t have to report to prison because he’s too busy campaigning for Donald Trump.
The courts are taking this objection seriously.
Must be nice to have this kind of privilege
this is the guy who’s supposed to be getting his affairs in order so he can report to prison on july 1st. he’s just butthurt he’s gonna miss the fireworks in new york ten days later.
Nah that won’t end badly for the country as a whole. This won’t be used when democrats get back into power. Nah.
Their idea is that democrats won’t get back into power.
If Trump gets in, it may very well turn into a totalitarian single party system.
Very true
You are playing checkers and the opponent already called checkmate.
How do people not see the parallels with other fascist regimes??
“Because this time its MY people owning the power! So that makes it okay!” - Average Conservative voter, assuming they were capable of thinking long enough to create a coherent thought.
Because they don’t know what a “fascist regime” is. They’re dumb.
Confirmation bias makes an incredible set of blinders.
How is this vampire ghoul not in prison?
He has to report by July 7th IIRC
Just curious, does it work this way for regular people? It seems like the justice system really puts on the kid gloves for these right wing shitbags.
Over 90% of cases end in plea bargains, with convicts reporting directly to prison from the court room. Others are remanded into police custody immediately following the verdict.
If you have money, you can delay imprisonment during the appeals process. And that process can be dragged out indefinitely with enough friendly judges.
As far as I am aware, yes you have a small amount of time to get your affairs in order and then you report.
I’m sure there are plenty of cases when they just take you away immediately and let your outside life fall apart. I think that’s an exercise for the sentencing judge and you can imagine how well it goes for poor people, PoC, etc.
What makes Bannon so sure he would be one to benefit from a second Trump presidency? He could just as well be persecuted. Trump shows no allegiance to anyone and is happy to throw his supporters under the bus when expedient.
Trump was happy enough to pardon a host of Republican donors and political allies before he left office in 2020.

Bannon is at least as likely to get a pardon as Roger Stone was.
Fine. Remember to bring evidence this time.
Professional shit-stirrer.
You can tell us that from your prison cell, you felon.
Just because you’re going to jail doesn’t mean you should dress like johnny cash.
and someone will be quoting him from jail
