Steve Bannon is scheduled to appear before Judge Juan Merchan on Monday morning for a hearing on discovery.

during the final hours of his presidency. Presidential pardons do not apply to state charges, such as the ones filed by the Manhattan D.A.on Dec. 6 of a combined 17 counts related to criminal tax fraud. An attorney for the corporation, Susan Necheles, said the judge's restriction against arguing political bias hampered the defense."These are political cases.

That was apparent during early hearings in both the Trump Organization and Bannon proceedings, when Merchan made rulings designed to limit the defenses' ability to drag the cases out. "One of the accusations is that the defense is trying to stall, you know, it's starting to feel that way a little bit," Merchan said. On Oct. 4, Bannon's attorneys asked for a year to go through four terabytes of data and documents collected by prosecutors, before filing their first motions in the case. Merchan gave them four months.

But of course our legal system is not biased. No one in the Establishment will ever admit to it but I would bet there exists a Cadre of anti-Trump federal judges who get assigned to hear cases involving Trump and his supporters

Ο Πάριος δεν είναι αυτός?

Bannon was convicted of another crime and has yet to see the inside of a prison so a different set of justice for these people.

Throw his REAR END in the slammer already!!! Bannon's had enough freedom, enough opportunities to spew propaganda on his podcast! Steve Bannon is dangerous to our Country's national security!!
