Steve Bannon Promised ‘Hell’ at Trial, but Punked Out Instead

Rightwing media personality Steve Bannon, on trial for ghosting Congress, was a no-show on the witness stand Thursday and passed on even putting up a defense—a lame end for the guy who promised to make his criminal case the “misdemeanor from hell” for the U.S. government.

On Thursday morning, Bannon’s defense lawyers told a federal judge they would present no defense—nothing at all—to try to convince jurors that he wasn’t somehow guilty of ignoring a congressional subpoena.

The Jan. 6 Committee subpoenaed Bannon last fall demanding that he turn over documents and testify about his role in trying to help former President Donald Trump overturn the 2020 election results as well as the part he played in beating the proverbial war drums in the run-up to the 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol building.

“You are not intending to put on any evidence to the jury?” asked U.S. District Judge Carl J. Nichols.

“Correct,” said David Schoen, an attorney on Bannon’s team. “We're not putting on a defense case.”

What the Justice Department insisted would be a remarkably short trial has instead stretched nearly all this week, as prosecutors charged forward while Bannon’s defense lawyers used every opportunity to slow it down.

Should be easy to decide. Guilty.
 
Trump adviser Steve Bannon and former chief of staff Mark Meadows are in "deep doo-doo" after the Supreme Court rejected the former president's claims of executive privilege regarding White House records related to Jan. 6, according to former acting U.S. solicitor general Neal Katyal.

"It's a real problem for them," Katyal told MSNBC. "Remember, Steve Bannon has been indicted already for contempt for not giving these answers to Congress, so he's facing criminal charges. Mark Meadows is on his way to the same thing. Both of their defenses to contempt is executive privilege, and the Supreme Court today blew that out of the water."

"So that means that these two individuals really do have to go and talk to the investigators in Congress, but it also more significantly means the Trump signature move – which is not just to hide these documents, but all these people from testifying on live televised hearings in Congress, he was going to invoke executive privilege for all that — that's now decimated by the Supreme Court's ruling."

"So it's going to be very hard for all these folks, not just Bannon and Meadows, but (Trump lawyers Rudy) Giuliani and (John) Eastman and the whole cast of characters, to avoid having to testify," Katyal said. "They can try other arguments, like the Fifth Amendment and so on, but today is a real nail in the coffin for them."

OMG I just spit tea out when I saw that cartoon. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

So... say he is found guilty. Doesn't he *still* have to turn over the requested documents and appear for testimony? Can they hold him in a cell until he does?

Yes, Trump's executive privilege was always irrelevant.

LMAO @ the 'artist's rendition'.

They're all the same. They make grand claims to win the day's news cycle, but always back down.
 
Failure to comply with a Congressional Investigative Indictment, or turn over evidence requested by a Congressional Investigative Committee, can bring Obstruction Of Justice charges filed on you by the Justice Department!

WOW- LAW AND ORDER ACTUALLY WORKS AGAIN- WHO WOULD HAVE THUNK IT COULD HAPPEN IN THE TRUMP ERA? :laugh:
 
:laugh: So much for Going on Offense :laugh:

All these Grifters are the same, All Talk and NO Action … just like their GOD Trump :rolleyes:

Except that now they don't have pardons in their back pockets. Bannon literally stole millions from donors who were tricked into believing that they were funding a border wall.

Bannon has been a grifting POS at riding on the ass of tRump, the Koch bros and foreign enemies, particular, in the gutter to wage war on democracy and civilization. In Bannon's own right, he has accomplished that of basically being a filthy, stinking and dirty parasite.
