In case you missed it, here was the first day from last week:
I’ve been passing on the televised hearings.
I’m tired, boss. Mostly I’m tired of people being ugly to each other.
Naturally, even an event as serious as these hearings is able to birth a meme…
Apparently saying “ok, ok, I’ll cooperate” a day before things really get rolling on your trial for ignoring a congressional subpoena doesn’t really help things much. Who knew?
The House of Representatives had voted to hold Bannon in contempt of Congress, after he ignored a legal and valid subpoena from the U.S. House Select Committee on the January 6 Attack. The DOJ is prosecuting the case.
Bannon’s attorney David Schoen was apparently extremely frustrated by the end.
“What’s the point of going to trial if we don’t have any defenses,” he told Judge Nichols, as The Guardian’s Hugo Lowell reports. Lowell called it a “heavy defeat” for Bannon.
Cheney reports DOJ won “virtually every motion … leaving Bannon with almost no conceivable defense except, perhaps, that he misunderstood the date of the subpoena deadline.”
So sad. Jeffrey Dahmer felt the same way.
I would love to hear Yakko Warner sing all the crimes to the tune of “Old MacDonald” or something like that.
This is a few months old, but I hadn’t seen it before:
It’s almost like you can’t trust the Pretorian Guard.
