Steve Bannon

I watched 99% of the hearing and don't remember seeing Bannon, or even hearing his name mentioned. Was it one of the 15 second videos or something? Does that rise to the level of a "feature segment" of the hearing?

Maybe less than 15 seconds.

Bannon lawyer Evan Corcoran is now attempting to signature match Bennie Thompson, suggesting the signature on the subpoena isn't legit.

"You could ask yourself if one of those things is different from the other."

...and we're in a sidebar after a government objection.

I am so sorry we won't see video of this. SNL, I hope you're listening

It was actually a highlight: Bannon on tape in early Nov 2020 saying that if TFG lost, he would say he one. Bannon reviewed various scenarios of what say at various times the night of the election and the next day, depending on what the count was. He noted that TFG should take advantage of the expected late-arriving, blue mail-in vote.

When I heard/saw it, I immediately thought, well, this will be used by the defense as a NEWEST shiny object, better known as a motion to dismiss. I thought it had nothing to do with his charges (he will announce he has won, blah, blah, blah). Actually, just a little side show to the question of when were the plans devised to steal the election created. Certainly not relevant to this contempt charge.

Bannon, thankfully, has a much more…robust… opinion of himself than most of the rest of the world. He thinks he’s famous or at least infamous but yeah, no. He thinks people think about him a LOT more than they actually do.

Since the jurors were ordered NOT to watch any coverage of the hearing, are any of them dumb enough to admit they watched it, (hopefully they did not)?

Now I'm really confused

Verdict incoming...

Hope he's got enough shirts on to take the fat G.

As the Bannon Jury files back into the courtroom I think this would be a good moment to review all the members of the Obama Administration who faced criminal prosecution...

Huh, that's weird. None.

Guess I'll use the opportunity to take a piss instead.

[Kendra]

Good thing it's a slow work day. I have three twitter tabs open and hitting refresh a lot. I think last update has judge in the courtroom.

Couldn't happen to a nicer Anarchist.

[MN-Skeptic]

The folks I follow on Twitter say that Bannon is certain to appeal this.

[Kendra]

Peter Navarro, if he’s watching, will note that his trial in November is in same courthouse. Also in front of a DC jury

Does Bannon get to keep on doing his podcast thing
