MAGA Martyr Bannon Goes to Trial
by Gloria Christie
Steve “Two Shirts” Bannon’s trial has begun. He ended up at trial, because he refused to comply with a subpoena for his documents and his body to appear before the House’s January 6 Select Committee. Officials found him hanging out on a billionaire Chinese expat’s bigger than a yacht but smaller than an aircraft carrier vessel.
Bannon has managed to drag it out, walking us in slow motion and dragging his heels throughout. Milking his situation for every drop of information and then regurgitating it on his syndicated radio show.
His case is simple. Just contempt of Congress, and the sentence can be as little as one month in jail. And now the event is in the jury selection phase. The ex-president appointed US District Court Judge Carl Nichols in Washington, D.C. He ruled that Bannon’s attorneys had no cause for executive privilege. Why? Well, for one, he did not work for Donald Trump—officially that is.
Bannon has been an informal adviser to the former president for years, and he is no dummy. He has an MA in national security studies from Georgetown and an MBA with honors from Harvard.
He tried the old my-attorney-made-me tactic to no avail. And excuse after excuse until Bannon’s defense attorney David Schoen in frustration asked the judge as The Business Insider reported:
‘What's the point of going to trial here if there are no defenses?’
Judge Nichols agreed, why indeed? The nihilist promised to make this the “misdemeanor from hell.”
Ever since 2019, Bannon has hosted War Room on the Real America's Voice television network and in radio syndication. He also bought a former monastery to house a Gladiator school in Italy. But when the church found out, they revoked the deal.
University of Michigan law professor and former US attorney in Detroit, Barb McQuade explained:
‘What we used to call this in my day was a slow-motion guilty plea. We all know how this is going to end, which is a conviction.’
Steve Bannon said this about Trump, according to The Guardian:
‘[He] would say anything, he would lie about anything. [And Trump lies] "to win whatever exchange he [is] having at the moment.’
It seems that Bannon intends to become the “MAGA martyr.”
