This is a small, seemingly unimportant detail but, for Bannon, it might as well have been a bell tolling.
He was just trying to get the missing texts back.

Iâd like to report a murder.
Who was the âgentleman from Texasâ that provoked that?
Chip Roy.
Proof that history is not a subject encouraged to be studied in Texas. Also because Texans think it is easy to secede from the Union.
Fucking idiots.

Is there any R congressperson with more than two brain cells?
Two witnesses and done.
Witness 1: the subpoena was valid
Witness 2: Bannon was all over social media waving his dick in the committeeâs face
Prosecution rests.
Apparently the defense is going to argue that Bannon thought the dates of the subpoena were negotiable. The prosecution pre-butted that, so Iâm not sure where they go from here.
Big J6 hearing tonight, where they will lay out in excruciating detail Trumpâs actions and inactions on the day in question.
Apparently, they have the unairable video statements Trump made before they settled on the âgo home, we love youâ take. If that was the best oneâŚ
Bannonâs not putting up a defense.
I donât know if this is performative bollocks for his listeners, setting up grounds for an appeal or simply because - with âflooding the zoneâ off the table - theyâve got nothing.
Closing arguments then the case goes to the jury. This could be over by the end of the day.
This is them setting it up as a âshow trialâ.
Heâs basically forcing Congressâ hand, knowing that they donât have the balls to do anything to him, let alone Trump. This plays right into his hand thatâs itâs a partisan show trial AND deomonstrating that itâs toothless theater that Trump should not fear.
How is this forcing Congressâ anything? This is a separate trial for criminal contempt that could see him spend 1 to 12 months in jail. Even if he turned around and agreed to testify tomorrow, heâs still guilty of the original crime so, at best, he might get sentence leniency.
But Bannon and his lawyers have pissed off the judge on a regular basis, and now are just wagging their dicks at him/her. Itâs too late for him to actually comply with the subpoena, so heâll almost certainly be found guilty and receive a punishment.
And then I hope Congress subpoenas his ass again.

Thatâs going to be red meat to his listeners, but it means diddly on appeal.
If Bannon receives any punishment other than âweâre very disappointed in your behavior, young manâ, Iâll eat my words (but not my new hat). Until then, I remain unconvinced.
