Well, that only took three weeks.
In the meantime, Mark Meadows (who was allegedly cooperating) decided to skip out on his deposition, so I supposed we're, what, a month now from him being indicted too?

"The defendant is entitled to a fair jury trial and an appeals process. The whole thing could take years, even if Bannon is found guilty of criminal contempt. Which itself is not a sure thing: The last official who was indicted for criminal contempt was acquitted."
And here's me on (checks notes) Tuesday:

Lol. Bannon is going to turn himself in on Monday. Right. Cause, you know, wouldn't want to interrupt his weekend.
Whatever. This is good. It is good that, after a 3 week delay, we are back on track for holding Steve Bannon accountable for brazenly flouting the law and Congressional oversight. Good. I AM HAPPY THIS FINALLY HAPPENED.
