Re the DU OP "question", the reason Steve Bannon is not in prison is that he hasn't committed a crime.
Were "Contempt for Congress" a crime, 3/4 of the US would be in prison.
It's a trite observation at this point, but liberals actually believe that "anything I don't like, including the person themselves" is punishable by prison time. Not only that, but they have a very Merrie Melodies concept of the penal system, wherein at 8am someone is accused of a "crime", at 9am that person is arrested and frogmarched to the onanistic delight of onlookers, at 9:05am a sentence is pronounced, and at 9:30am the newly-minted inmate is placed in the penitentiary. Then we cut to 9:30pm, where the inmate is repeatedly anally raped, again to the delight of "liberals" who otherwise abhor prison violence, and who otherwise decry the innocence of the large black men they imagine will do the gang raping.
If, after 20 years of reading DU, I have this wrong, someone please correct me. I think the only possible deviation from the timeline above is when someone is allotted a period of time to appear for his frogmarch. This period of time is somewhere between 23 and 25 business hours - I forget.
