“America First” advocate and renowned Donald Trump’s ally, Steve Bannon is anticipated to confront an uneasy period of confinement in a Connecticut low-security prison, a source with intimate knowledge disclosed to us today.
Steve Bannon, a 70-year-old political strategist, previously held senior roles in Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign and short-lived White House administration, is significantly uneasy with the reality of being confined alongside criminals convicted of violent offenses and sexual crimes. This insight, unveiled on Friday, comes in the wake of the final court decision to refuse Bannon’s last-ditch plea for a deferral.
Bannon is predicted to serve a four-month sentence inside the Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) in Danbury. He was found guilty for repeatedly defying a subpoena issued by the House committee significantly invested in investigating the infamous Capitol incursion. Bannon’s refusal to adhere to the subpoena resulted in severe charges, sparking a two-year-long fight against the law, which saw him attempt numerous legal extraction methods.
Bannon’s defense argued that he was merely obeying the directives of his legal advice, which recommended that he rely on the previously invoked executive privilege by Donald J. Trump during his tenure. This argument was rebuffed by multiple courts due to the simple fact that Trump no longer held office at the time of the event in question.
Steve Bannon has publicly maintained his unswerving stance, insisting he has zero remorse and fortifies his present predicament, championing it as a symbol of his political imprisonment and his continued activism. He is recorded stating, “My voice will not be suppressed when I’m there.” Going further to proclaim his perceived victory, he bravely states that his impending prison sentence is the catalyst needed to delegitimize the J6 committee.
According to sources, Bannon told his supporters not to engage him in written correspondence while serving his sentence, indicating his intention to focus exclusively on his prison job and strategizing towards what he calls a “total and complete victory”.
Bannon has employed the expertise of prison consultant Sam Mangel to facilitate his anticipated shift into prison life. The same consultant also represents other figures associated with the Trump administration who also find themselves behind bars, like Peter Navarro. Bannon has been designated the federal inmate number 05635-509 by the Bureau of Prisons, according to inside sources.
Unlike others going through similar predicaments, Bannon also has the additional legal burden of a separate criminal detainer amid his trial in Manhattan over defrauding supporters of the “We Build the Wall” movement. This supplementary detainer mandates that he be placed in a low-level federal facility as opposed to a prison camp, which operates under less stringent regulations.
While others might find the most discomforting aspects of life in confinement as sheer boredom or slow communications, Bannon is to adhere to a more rigid daily routine coupled with minimal freedom of movement and frequent check-ins with authorities. His new neighbors are expected to be more dangerous inmates.
In conclusion, Steve Bannon stands on the brink of an uncertain future. His imminent prison sentence is only one of his many hurdles on the horizon. Battling accusations of defrauding supporters promises to add more intrigue to his narrative. With a track record of unyielding defiance and resilience, Bannon’s next chapter holds keen interest for both his supporters and critics alike.
