because he was following the advice of his lawyer, a federal judge ruled Wednesday.
A federal grand jury indicted Bannon in November on two counts of contempt of Congress for refusing to answer questions from the House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot. One count accused him of refusing to appear for a deposition, and the other was for declining to produce documents requested by the committee.
“A layperson has to follow his attorney’s advice, in my view at least, when he’s faced with a subpoena — he doesn’t know anything about legal process otherwise. He relies on a lawyer, and the lawyer gave the advice,” Schoen said. “All that is needed … is a deliberate intention to do the act,” it said. “Advice of counsel does not immunize that simple intention.”
Oops!
Bannon is bizarre. All these Trumper characters look like a malevolent version of the cast of Kesey’s Cuckoo‘s Nest.
In the meantime. This has been reported. Texas Governor Greg Abbott says he is sending illegal aliens to the U.S. Capitol: “Texas is providing charter buses to send these illegal immigrants, who have been dropped off by the Biden administration, to Washington D.C.'
The man is unwell.
Loopholes disappearing before his eyes. 😂
No shit😂
Who cares. They will never get Trump. And that's all Pelosi wants. 😊
As if that wasn't already known. Rookie law students are falling over backwards laughing at such a nonsensical claim. Serious overhaul of our institutions is essential. Absurd there are those still so gullible as to believe such an antiquated sys can function 21st century.
Wouldn't THAT be convenient!
Keep it up.
Steve Bannon committed seditious conspiracy against the United States & then has obstructed & delayed the deliverance of justice. He needs to be indicted for seditious conspiracy. It has been 15 months since the insurrection. NoOneUnscripted
The judge ruled his other contempt charge is that of soap
Laws are laws
So what else is new? Disbar BIG LIAR lawyers. They are toxic to democracy.
