Federal prosecutors accused Steve Bannon and his lawyers of attempting to try in the media the contempt of Congress charges the former White House strategist faces for defying subpoenas from the House committee investigating the Jan.6 attack on the Capitol.
In a court filing submitted Sunday night, the D.C. U.S. Attorney's office pushed back on the defense's effort to unseal all evidence in the case, including grand jury testimony. The prosecutors argued that the move would be unusual and extreme in a criminal case.
"The defense’s misleading claims, failure to confer, unexplained wholesale opposition, and extrajudicial statements make clear the defense’s real purpose: to abuse criminal discovery to try this case in the media rather than in court," the prosecutors wrote.

Its a Soviet show-trial
Never allow the enemy to pick the battle ground.
Imagine that! Hahaha. Go Steve Go!
Accusing Bannon of what the idiotic Fed “prosecutors” a la
Roland Friesler (late of the Nazi German judicial purges)-— are themselves doing.
Trying the completely fedgov infiltrated and organized “invasion” of the Capitol building to PLACE THE BLAME on Donald Trump who did NOT organize this... what so ever.
Numbers tell all, the numbers who came to hear his speech vs. the miniscule number of agent provocateurs who roped in bystanders and idiots into the OPENED DOORS of the Capitol, and even instigated a moron Capitol policeman wannabee to MURDER one of these swept in naifs.
Well that hardly ever happens. Or “rare”. 😊
Ya, only the Feds get to do these things with impunity!
That pesky Free Speech again?
Funny, that’s exactly what the Hollywood 10 did during the House Un-American Activities Commission trials of the 1940s. Of course, our intellectual elites honor them for it today because they were all America-hating commies.
“consent of the governed”
If they withdraw consent - and many are - than, yeah, contempt is a byproduct of the ruling bodies own stupidity.
Asymmetric warfare sucks, doesn’t it Dems?
Are they also gonna hold their breath and stamp their feet because they are not getting their way?
re: “Prosecutors say Bannon seeking to ‘try this case in the media rather than in court”
Like, Kenosha?
And the mediavomits didn’t to Rittenhouse? These evil people think we are effin stupid!
re: “House committee investigating the Jan.6”
Illegitimate committee.
Ha! This is what the Govt does every single time. Trial by press.
When you charge rich people with a crime, they can afford to fight back.
DNA is handled very carefully after the O.J. Simpson case.
Too bad..... lets expose it all!!
The whole Jan 6 farce is being tried in the democrat press by the government.
What’s fair is fair.
