Bannon plans on appealing of course. I heard one of his lawyers talking on CNN this morning. Their case seems to be entirely based on this blurb which I found in a Washington Post article.

5. Have other witnesses refused to cooperate with the Jan. 6 inquiry?


Yes. Trump’s attempts to use executive privilege claims have been cited by other witnesses to keep information from the committee, as well. President Joe Biden has supported the release of documents requested by the committee. A former president’s claims of executive privilege over the objections of the current president is an issue courts haven’t resolved before.

Once again, for the people in the back, Trump never invoked it - such as he is capable of doing so as an ex-president under the Unitary Executive doctrine - for Bannon, and Bannon was not working at the White House during this period. He has less than no leg to stand on.

It will be interesting to see if they can get a Judge to listen anyway. Would not shock me in the slightest at this point.
 
Tom Cotton can't be bothered with what happened on January 6th 2020.

Rep. Liz Cheney
@RepLizCheney
Hey @SenTomCotton
- heard you on @hughhewitt
criticizing the Jan 6 hearings. Then you said the strangest thing; you admitted you hadn’t watched any of them. Here’s a tip: actually watching them before rendering judgment is more consistent with “Anglo-American jurisprudence.”

Hugh Hewitt is a worthless scumbag as well.

All of these people should be in prison under 18 USC Ch. 115.

18 U.S. Code Section 2384 - Seditious conspiracy

If two or more persons in any State or Territory, or in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspire to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States, or to levy war against them, or to oppose by force the authority thereof, or by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States, or by force to seize, take, or possess any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof, they shall each be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both.

Well, yeah, of course they should all be in jail. Forever. But, that's not going to happen. Conspiring against the United States is now a new normal for our political class.

Doesn't have to be. Take back the means of political production: the Democratic party today, the offices we can win with it tomorrow.

I am hopeful Democrats can do that. It would be nice to codify gay marriage, interracial marriage, Roe vs. Wade, etc. Then reverse Citizens United, and put in real voting rights reform. Then after that tackle, and reimagine the immigration system while at the same time actually fighting climate change.

Unfortunately I think the Orcs have way too much control. Best way to combat that is take control of the legislature, and Presidency to such a degree that they can take back the Supreme Court. And then never relinquish it.

A handful of Senators and we can fix the Court overnight. The norms are gone, we are fighting Nazis. All lawful remedies are now on the table, and there is nothing illegal about adding six SCOTUS justices and/or impeaching three of them for lying under oath at their hearings.

I say we do both. 12-3 would reflect the synaptically active population.
 
MAGA Haberman Reviews Emails From Trump's Team

I gotta admit, despite her and her family being full on Trump Lovers she does a good job here...

In emails reviewed by The New York Times and authenticated by people who had worked with the Trump campaign at the time, one lawyer involved in the detailed discussions repeatedly used the word “fake” to refer to the so-called electors, who were intended to provide Vice President Mike Pence and Mr. Trump’s allies in Congress a rationale for derailing the congressional process of certifying the outcome. And lawyers working on the proposal made clear they knew that the pro-Trump electors they were putting forward might not hold up to legal scrutiny.

“We would just be sending in ‘fake’ electoral votes to Pence so that ‘someone’ in Congress can make an objection when they start counting votes, and start arguing that the ‘fake’ votes should be counted,” Jack Wilenchik, a Phoenix-based lawyer who helped organize the pro-Trump electors in Arizona, wrote in a Dec. 8, 2020, email to Boris Epshteyn, a strategic adviser for the Trump campaign.

In a follow-up email, Mr. Wilenchik wrote that “‘alternative’ votes is probably a better term than ‘fake’ votes,” adding a smiley face emoji.

The emails provide new details of how a wing of the Trump campaign worked with outside lawyers and advisers to organize the elector plan and pursue a range of other options, often with little thought to their practicality. One email showed that many of Mr. Trump’s top advisers were informed of problems naming Trump electors in Michigan — a state he had lost — because pandemic rules had closed the state Capitol building where the so-called electors had to gather.

When asked for comment Sicatoka was quoted as saying "but what about the manila envelope?"
 
So Trump's in jail because someone (Liz Cheney?) with "the goods" left the manila envelope on Garland's stoop and I missed it?


Shamelessly stolen from @ScottAdamsSays ... his timeline of the Jan 6 committee's findings.

Trump attempted a planned insurrection.
Okay, loosely planned.
Okay, not planned, but he encouraged it.
Okay, he didn't encourage it, but he didn't try to stop it.
Okay, he did try to stop the violence, but he should have done more, and sooner, during fog of war.

And mentioning "should have done more", also stolen ...

Tell a Democrat the Jan6th hearings cleared Trump by producing no evidence of wrongdoing except "should have done more," which is a generic truth that applies to Pelosi just as much. Then watch their faces.
 
If anyone has a finger on the correct way to interpret things going on in the world, it's MRA bitch boy who was relevant for a few comic strips 25 years ago and predicted he'd be dead within 6 months of Biden taking office. Dipshits of a feather flock together.
