The unselect was permitted to submit papers without having to appear. Bannon could not face his accusers.
Appeal will focus on violated rights of due process and separation of powers.
Yes, there will be an appeal.
Reason for not presenting defense is because DC Court wouldn’t allow arguments and evidence regarding the above.
DC Appeals will need review if lower court erred in denying due process and not allowing arguments pertaining to Executive Privilege.
When Bannon was first summoned to testify, he declined to testify citing Executive Privilege. He was arrested.
After his arrest, Trump waived Executive Privilege for him. Then Bannon signaled he would testify. At that point, DOJ idiots (yeah idoots!) should have dropped charges, but they didn’t. Now Appeals will need to grapple with following facts:
1. Declined to testify citing EP.
2. Willing to testify when EP waived.
Appeals will scratch their heads at government argument that he intended NOT to cooperate. Lower court should have dismissed based on his intent to testify once EP was waived.
But this is DC Appeals, so who knows?
If DC Appeals blows it off, then Bannon lawyers file with SCOTUS.
In the meantime, Bannon rots in the DC Gulag for months, possibly years. Leftists will run victory laps and call for Trump’s head. If they get Trump arrested, they come for us.
For all the DeSantis ‘24 folks. Put that on hold for 4 years and elect Pres Trump. If for no other reason, just to see what he does to them
n00b, no way was Bannon going to get a real and fair trial for anything in DC. The outcome was determined on day 1 .
Just the right time to enrage and motivate the War Room Posse for the November election.
The judge disallowed the evidence Bannon wanted to use.
They will sentence him to the maximum 2 years.
Trump will be indicted at just the right time after the nomination to inflict the most political damage.
I love folks who don’t think the system will crush them, given half a chance.
Now this guy will spend 366 days in a federal camp.
Wait, it was okay for Hillary and her ilk...
Results of any lawsuit in DC
Republican - Guilty
Democrat - not guilty!
I guess that’s why Dems can do anything in DC and Republicans plead guilty even when innocent.
That's the problem. We knew we were dealing with a Democrat run city, and we knew they had pulled this in the past, yet some of us stormed in anyway. We should have known better.
You think they wouldn’t have found something else?
If the real Trump supporters had refrained from stepping into the Capitol, the Democrats would have been in the position of either having to arrest the leftist instigators, or sweeping the whole thing under the rug.
The fact that we didn't fall for this a year later shows that we learned our lesson, but we should have learned it well before then.
My guess if they sent you a subpoena you would get a lawyer and respond.
Banon had no privilige. And he ignored them.
This was a farce on both sides. He won’t win on appeal. And there is no basis to go beyond the next level.
He WILL end up a federal felon and he will go to prison.
And by the time he gets out…the world will have moved on.
Who is ‘we’?
Leave me out of your crap
Ray Epps, the FIB and Antifa opened the doors to let them in.
I’m think’ Bannon wants to be a political prisoner.
A whole bunch of street cred comes from being imprisoned by communists. Especially if your already have name recognition and reputation.
It puts him in a position to be, at least, a General when the trials and hangings start.
I believe he’ll give a news conference where he publicly says “EFF YOU, COME AND GET ME” lol
A man who knows the swamp and who has always been a fighter - yes.
A martyr - I don't think so!
Just like Term #1, the swamp will not let Trump drain the place in Term #2.
They’re never going to shut Bannnon unless they murder him. And I wouldn’t put that past them.
So?
Does that matter?
Any thing or action that exposes the communist tyranny that we now endure is "good"...
