BREAKING: Steve Bannon is charged with one contempt count involving his refusal to appear for a deposition and another involving his refusal to produce documents, despite a subpoena from the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6 Attack on the U.S. Capitol, per feds

Atty General Merrick Garland, "I have promised Justice Department employees that together we would show the American people by word and deed that the department adheres to the rule of law, follows the facts and the law and pursues equal justice under the law"

Each count of contempt of Congress carries a minimum of 30 days and a maximum of one year in jail, as well as a fine of $100 to $1,000

"Bannon refused to produce documents and
communications, provide a log of any withheld records, certify a diligent search for records, and comply in any way with a subpoena dated September 23,2021

===>

I'll note... because it's relevant with jail time potentially looming for Bannon ==>

The feds believe the conditions inside the DC jail are so abjectly substandard (sewage, water, food problems) -- they've evacuated/transferred 137 inmates to a new facility since Tuesday

Steve Bannon faces 30 days in jail on each criminal count.

Just flagging .... here's what some Jan 6 defendants say it's like inside the DC jail right now ====>

(DC deputy mayor this week said fixes are being made, some problems are *caused* by inmates)

Inmates in the jail claim they are underfed, awoken at 230am, subject to sleep deprivation, living in claustrophobic conditions, existing near standing sewage

Noting this, in case Bannon faces time in the DC jail
