Not weird at all. Corrupt and unjust, but very common.
I explained this in other comments, but it's not because he's Steve Bannon, it's because he's wealthy and the wealthy have an advantage in the American legal system.
The wealthy can hire a better lawyer, pay their bonds so they don't have to go to jail while the outcome of their trial is decided, and have a better life in jail if they do have to go to jail while their trial is decided.
There are a lot of advantages to being wealthy.
This wasn't a bond. He was found guilty. But another judge stepped in and said the court was wrong to dismiss his executive privilege defense so he's allowed to be free until the appeal.
The original trial dismissed his claim of executive privilege because the timeframe was wrong and Trump never said Bannon had executive privilege for the issue.
So yeah, a sovcit gets called crazy for throwing around irrelevant legal terms but Bannon got to stay out of jail doing the same.
What did he pay the appeal bond for? And why is he appealing his conviction?
The appeal is ongoing right now, right?
Could easily be out of date with Bannon, I only knew about his appeal
Martha Stewart is worth 10x Steve Bannon. Yet she went straight to jail following the guilty verdict instead of being allowed to be free while appealing.
This is a great point and a fantastic analogy, she is worth 10 bannons
