After the first day of his trial, Steve Bannon unloaded on the establishment and the crooked January 6th Committee outside of the courthouse.
The former Trump advisor was charged by the January 6th Committee with contempt of Congress after claiming executive privilege and refusing to “cooperate” with them and their sham trial. Now, he faces a trial of his own as they move forward with the charges.
Day one of the trial consisted of opening statements from both the prosecution and the defense, as well as the questioning of a January 6th staffer by the Department of Justice.
The prosecution all but admits that this is a vendetta against Bannon for his refusal to give the Committee the information they are “entitled to.” Meanwhile, Defense claims that he is innocent of this while leaning into the fact that the trial is a political witch hunt.
Outside, after his appearance, Bannon blasts Bennie Thompson and the committee, as well as the whole political establishment, for their cowardice and crookedness.

“They won’t bring in any testimony,” he continues, “any testimony about FBI involvement, any testimony of DHS involvement. The total and complete illegitimacy of Joe Biden. Trump won, Joe Biden is illegitimate–50% of the American people believe that.”
“We have a constitutional crisis in this nation right now and they’re charging me with a crime. Have the guts and the courage to show up here and say exactly why it’s a crime. Bennie Thompson is a total, absolute disgrace and this show trial they’re running is a disgrace. And I will promise you one thing: When the Republicans have a sweeping victory on November 8th, starting in January, you’re going to get a real–you’re going to get a real committee with a ranking member who will be a Democrat. You will have a minority counsel that will be a Democrat. And this will be run appropriately and the American people will get the full story,” Bannon finishes.
Steve Bannon is being subjected to an illegitimate and overreaching committee’s political persecution of perceived threats. The committee’s tyrannical and Jupiterian persecution of opposition is not something you find in the types of Democracies they claim to be defending. It belongs to a dictatorship.
Beyond Cromwell
and he dint dignify the charges with present a defense... they reated
Just in: Bannon is not presenting a defense. I guess he figures the entire thing is a sham. He’ll fight this one in the media.
Must not be going well for him in court.
History, what is left of it, will not be kind to the Biden or the 0bama or Clinton crime families . . .
You really have to wonder how they will be described fifty years from now.
He's being tried for contempt of Congress for ignoring the subpoena. All those subjects, while of interest to him, has nothing to do with what he's been charged with so it's not surprising it's not being introduced.
How history portrays Brandon, Clintoon, Obola crime families will solely depend on who is running the country in 50 years. If the communists win, it will be like China and how they view the biggest mass murderer in all of human history Mao.
If the communists take over, it won’t matter. There will not be a United States of America then.
Depends on who wins, since they will write the history.
I don’t think the Democomms want such a prominent political prisoner
You really have to wonder how they will be described fifty years from now.

As the saying goes... “history is written by the victors.”
They are not taking over.
Bullets over ballots
“Bannon is not presenting a defense. I guess he figures the entire thing is a sham.”
Well, Trump kind of cut his defense off at the knees, so he doesn’t have much choice.
“and he dint dignify the charges with present a defense... they reated”
Wut?
Oh BS.
This is a kangaroo court political show trial - and Bannon is absolutely spot on correct in pointing out these omissions.
He is absolutely spot on correct in pointing out what this is really about: the illegitimacy of the stolen Biden Residency.
The phony charges against him are what is irrelevant.
Troll
and on appeal.
