After being ruled that he must go to jail by July 1, Bannon tried his best to spin, telling reporters: “Nothing can shut me up, and nothing can shut me up.” No prison can lock me up . We’re going to win this, win the Supreme Courtand more importantly, we will win on November 5th.
One protester yelled at Bannon: “Your coup failed. You’re going to jail.”

Steve Bannon could be going to jail this summer. He may not be released from prison before Election Day. Bannon’s Chinese moneymen were indicted for money laundering and bank fraud. Bannon will also face a state fraud trial for allegedly defrauding Trump supporters of funds to “build the wall.”
Bannon is another example of an associate of convicted felon Donald Trump who will eventually serve prison time. Voters can learn a lot about a candidate from the companies they own, and in the case of Donald Trump, that company suggests criminal activity.
