Idle thought ... What if Bannon doesn't report to prison on Monday? What if he stages a stunt, forcing the US Marshals (or whomever) to handcuff and drag him in front of right-wing TV cameras?
#MAGA, after all, is all about performance art.

Warrant issued, more jail time
Which for Bannon would mean being in jail past the Election instead getting out of before. I fully support his choice to do that if he wants.
also could hurt him when he starts his trial for "build the wall" fraud in september
@Kinnison I wonder if the court issuing an arrest warrant could trigger an entirely new round of appeals. Just thinking out loud.
I'd hate to be the marshals who have to drag his sorry butt to prison, on right-wing TV no less.
If Bannon wanted to amp it up, he could con some #MAGA rubes into making a protective circle around him.
the warrant issued when failing to report to jail is one of those "Go directly to jail, do not pass Gao, do not collect any Foreign Rubles" type warrants. at best he gets to spend some time out of his sell to show up in front of the judge and give his lawyer more billable hours.
you can try to appeal. But by the time the appeals courts even gets area to read it, the penalty is passed. Most Judges are very very frowny towards anyone who does not show respect the courts.
@WordsmithFL
I say he should go for it!
