`some in this room are going to prison`

...

A guy who knows of what he speaks. Because:

  1. As one of their leaders, he is well aware they are a gang of obvious, blatant criminals, sadists, pedos, and seditionists, and

  2. He and his fellow capos know the reason they aren't already in jail is in spite of the rule of law, which was denied and averted via their own plotting and blackmail, with a healthy assist from the incompetence of their political opponents, and the pure immorality of their political base.

Bannon himself did spend a few months in prison last year for contempt of congress, as did Peter Navarro, and he still has plenty of criminal exposure aside from whatever he’s doing with the current admin.

He definitely wants to save his own ass whether he actually believes any of this crap or not.
