Rick Wilson is afraid Steve Bannon will flee the country and wants his passport seized

Folks over at The Lincoln Project are pretty psyched at the news that Steve Bannon was indicted and there’s reportedly a warrant signed for his arrest:

Rick Wilson, however, thinks he’s a flight risk and the DOJ should seize his passport right now:

Steve Bannon is an immediate flight risk and must have his passport sized before he sneaks on to the yacht of his sugar daddy and slips the net of justice.

But why would he flee?

Bannon will enjoy playing the martyr and raise tons of money off this. Further, the full court press on Jan 6, especially as time goes on, is neither as politically helpful as Democrats think it is nor are these contempt charges a clear-cut victory for rule of law.

Now, as amusing as this would be and, tbh, good for page views. . .

I 100% want Steve Bannon to flee and broadcast from a ship in international waters just to add some entertainment to the story.

. . .there is a report that Bannon will self-surrender on Monday:

ALERT: Law enforcement expects Steve Bannon to self-surrender on his criminal charges in DC on *MONDAY*

Buzzkill alert as many libs were hoping Bannon would have to spend the weekend in jail. Whoops.
