The Holder comparison is really interesting. He was AG at the time, and Obama asserted executive privilege.
Bannon and his defense seemed to think they had the same immunity even though he wasn't employed by the White House during the time for which his testimony was sought (J6). Trump's lawyer claimed that he did not have executive privilege, for which Bannon's lawyer called him a thug, among other things.
I wonder if that'll shake out any more, and what Trump, who pardoned him earlier, will have to say about the ruling and whether or not he had immunity.
Bannon is probably the ONLY person I've ever seen held accountable for ignoring or lying to Congress. Everyone else gets a pass, unless you're aligned with the bad Orange Man. This is BS!
just like Dinesh D'Souza was the only one held accountable for a minor campaign finance donation. Right after he released an awesome hit piece on a clinton.
It depends on how long his appeal takes. If it's months he won't be going to jail. If they fast track it to before the midterms play out then I think he probably will.

They did to Rittenhouse. For almost a year.
Fake news media is purposefully misleading the public though as usual and most normies do not understand.
