Steve Bannon—the right-wing media personality turned adviser to Donald Trump turned right-wing media personality again—became the first person in nearly 40 years to be indicted on a charge of criminal contempt of Congress last month after he refused to cooperate with the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection. Now, Bannon appears to be using his criminal case to go after the committee that went after him.
Bannon is attempting to force investigators to potentially expose who they’ve talked to and what they’ve said, peek into secret communications on the committee, and create a playbook for other resistant witnesses, according to several legal experts.
“There's no cost to opposing Congress if you can give Congress a black eye for even daring to ask you questions,” said Kel McClanahan, an attorney who specializes in national security matters.
As Bannon faces criminal charges, he’s entitled to the evidence against him. And in a typical galaxy-brain, Bannon countergambit, Trump’s former senior adviser is trying to make some of that evidence public.
According to a Sunday night court filing by federal prosecutors, that includes secret witness interviews by law enforcement and internal communications between House committee staff members. The Justice Department claims this material that, were it exposed to the public, would cause “specific harms” like “witness tampering” or making it impossible to find impartial jurors at a future trial.
In a court filing on Tuesday, Bannon’s lawyers said the government’s argument was “festooned with hyperbole… perhaps designed to score points with the media.” That same day, a “press coalition” of 15 news organizations—including Buzzfeed, CNN, and The Washington Post—sided with Bannon and asked the judge overseeing the case to make documents available and reject what it called “this broad gag order.”

Since President Biden took office in January, federal courts across the country have ruled against his administration time and again, finding many of his policies violate the Constitution. The Biden legal defeats have extended nationwide, impacting a wide range of leftist issues........
Translation: “He’s trying to expose our Kangaroo Court as a Kangaroo Court! Can you believe this guy?”
They fear Bannon more than anyone else. They may regret their decision to go after him.
For sure......Bannons going after all the Congressional parasites.
Aha......govt collusion against we, the people, rears its ugly head.......
“a Sunday night court filing by Bidens federal prosecutors includes secret witness interviews by l/e (FBI?) and internal communications between House committee staff members”........
We, the people got a dog in this hunt. Let’s use it.
The public.......that’s we, the people.
Another huge clue that Biding, Piglosi and Schi! are colluding against “the government.”
The government. .......that’s we, the people.

A Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruling has set a formidable precedent for judicial scrutiny of Biden administration policies concerning Covid, as well as constitutional questions in general.
It was with scorn and constitutional alarm that the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals on November 12 turned aside the Biden administration’s attempt to require Covid vaccinations for the nation’s workforce. The ruling has set a formidable precedent for judicial scrutiny of Biden administration policies concerning Covid, as well as constitutional questions in general. Snip
Bravo.
Its all in the “discovery” and Bannon knows it.
It has to be dirtier / worse than that in my opinion.
Indeed. It is the inverse "John Galt" question of our times.
He IS the Kraken!
He was the one telling everyone to breach the building
You are quite right, what happened to Bannon was that he became the “first person in nearly 40 years to be indicted on a charge of criminal contempt of Congress last month”
