Steve Bannon's trial tribulations may have only just begun as he readies himself for prison and the district attorney who secured former President Donald Trump's criminal conviction prepares to take him to court in New York, a former federal prosecutor said Thursday night.
Glenn Kirschner appeared on MSNBC to discuss with Lawrence O'Donnell a Washington D.C. federal judge's decision to put Bannon in a federal prison for four months for ignoring a congressional subpoena from the Jan. 6 investigative committee.
"Ironically," Kirschner said, "a four-month prison term might end up being the least of Steve Bannon's problems."
Kirshner then pointed to Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's criminal indictment of Bannon on money laundering charges and a trial slated to begin in the courtroom of Justice Juan Merchan — the same judge who oversaw Trump's hush money trial — on Sept. 23.
Bannon stands accused of fleecing thousands of Trump supporters upwards of $15 million through the Florida nonprofit corporation WEBUILDTHEWALL, promising a border security project that never materialized, court records show.
His bigger problem might be... more prison?
Could be much more.
Headline: prison sentence may be the least of his problems
The quote, 4 sentences into the article under the headline: actually he's just looking at a longer prison sentence
I was like damn, what can they do to him that's worse than prison and the answer is "more prison". Clickbait headline.
He would make a nice cell buddy for Donald, wouldn't he?
Nah, I'd prefer someone with a bigger dick.
(I am totally against our penal system being okay with rape as basically capital punishment. For the record. Just making a joke here)
Love to hear it!
Trump really does know the best people, doesn't he?

Didn't Trump pardon him for this already? Or are these state charges?
Alvin Bragg is the Manhattan District Attorney like on Law and Order. They deal with a lot of financial crimes because a ton of financial things happen on Manhattan. Also, a lot of famous people visit Manhattan, so a lot of famous crime happens to be committed there.
That's the funny thing about Trump acting like he's being targeted by the NYC legal system. He is just one in a long line of famous people convicted by NYC prosecutors. They have P Diddy coming up next and Giuliani later this year. Sprinkle in some organized crime and some standard homicide, and the Trump trial is honestly small potatoes.
