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.

      People who get raped deserve it

      As a man who has experienced it…I honestly hope you do as well. That will shut your disgusting fucking mouth.

        “you deserve to be in pain and traumatized for a long time”

        Right, on what basis? Is it race? Gender? Ideology? Religion?

        I can tell you rn if it’s because of one of those, you are arguing on the same level is Hitler. And if not, your justification will make less sense and be none more justified.

          …what? I’m not sure if you even responded to the right person? And what the fuck is this about Hitler? Is this parody?

              What this person said may honestly be one of the single dumbest things I’ve seen on the internet in my entire life. And we’re in a thread where somebody said every single person in prison who’s ever been raped deserved it.

              I don’t know why I’m still on social media. I keep telling myself I’m going to give up on websites like this.
