Cat Turd is taking a few days off to attend the funeral of his mother. Elon Musk has a 75% stake in Tesla. Steve Bannon gets a sentence that could land him in prison for 4 years. And more!
00:06:04.280Judge says it cuts in Mr. Bannon's favor that the committee didn't go to court to enforce its subpoena but sought out prosecution.
00:06:14.160Judge notes Bannon has been compliant with terms of release in case after noting Bannon's background, Navy service, and work on Trump campaign in his podcast.
00:06:24.200Judge Carl Nichols sentences Bannon to four months in prison, a $6,500 fine.
00:06:31.000Technically, it's a pair of four-month prison sentence that run concurrently simultaneously.
00:06:39.320So Steve Bannon will be permitted to voluntarily surrender to serve his prison term.
00:06:45.320If he doesn't appeal, Bannon will have to report to prison no later than November 15th.
00:06:50.600As investigative journalist Julie Kelly pointed out, the Department of Injustice extended Steve Bannon's jail sentence
00:07:01.160because he mocked the Democrat Party's January 6th committee and he mocked Democrats Adam Schiff and Eric Fang Fang Swalwell.
00:07:11.640Okay, in America today, you can now be sent to prison for months on end for mocking illegitimate government committees and Democrat lawmakers.
00:07:19.220In case you didn't know, you are obviously not entitled to make fun of them in any way.
00:07:24.180You will be kicked off of social media as a result, too.
00:07:27.140I can tell you right now how many times I have been thrown in the tank over there in Facebook, as have all of you.
00:07:35.440You are like prisoners and we don't even have parking tickets.
00:08:58.360He just wants to show what's wrong here with the system.
00:09:02.160When you look at what happened with Eric Holder and so many others, and I can play you clips of the outrage, how they felt like it was a political attack, etc.
00:09:12.880Look at what they are doing to President Trump and his administration.
00:09:17.700Look at what they're doing to January Sixers.
00:09:20.660Look at what they're doing about to journalists that are reporting on them.
00:09:42.320Look at what happened when A.G. Eric Holder was held in criminal contempt.
00:09:47.560News this hour, the Republican-led House of Representatives has voted to hold the Attorney General of the United States, Eric Holder, in criminal contempt of Congress.
00:09:56.320We heard Eric Holder live on CNN call the vote, in his words, misguided and politically motivated.
00:10:03.400It all stems from the failed, fasted, furious gun-running sting operation and the administration's refusal to hand over certain documents related to it.
00:10:11.860Some Democrats, a lot of them, in fact, simply walked out of the House in protest just before the contempt vote.
00:10:21.080What we have seen is a shameful display of abuse of power by the Republicans in the House of Representatives.
00:10:28.300Instead of bringing job-creating legislation to the floor, the transportation bill, they are holding the Attorney General of the United States in contempt of Congress for doing his job.
00:10:44.000It's really important to note how this is connected with some of their other decisions.
00:10:51.000It is no accident, it is no coincidence, that the Attorney General of the United States is the person responsible for making sure that voter suppression does not happen in our country,
00:11:04.780that issues that relate to the civil liberties of the American people are upheld.
00:11:10.820These very same people are holding him in contempt, are part of a nationwide scheme to suppress the vote.
00:11:19.500Okay, what's so interesting about all of that is that they always say the opposite of what is actually happening.
00:11:26.440They blame Republicans and conservatives for what they're actually doing.
00:11:31.580So you can learn a lot by what they deny and what they are planning on doing by what they offer.
00:11:36.640That's just the way it goes in this clown world that we live in right now.
00:18:57.360The sentence he came down with today is his decision.
00:19:00.660I fully respect him and totally respectful of this entire process on the legal side.
00:19:06.080I also want to make one other statement before I talk about a broader topic.
00:19:10.880More than any person in the Trump administration, I testified before the Mueller commission for more hours.
00:19:18.860I testified in front of a shift in the House Intelligence Committee more than any other person in the Trump administration.
00:19:27.560I testified in front of the Senate intelligence, I think more than any, all about the issues related to Russiagate and to all of that, okay?
