'A Desperate Play for Time': Lawyers Dismiss Steve Bannon's 'Nonsense' Refusal to Comply

Congressional Subpoena

Former chief White House strategist Steve Bannon has rebuffed a congressional subpoena related to the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol Complex by claiming executive privilege through his attorney.

The refusal came by way of a letter sent to the select committee by Robert Costello. In the letter, Bannon’s lawyer said that former president Donald Trump asked his former aides to assert privilege and deny the subpoena requests for documents and testimony.

“It is therefore clear to us that since the executive privileges belong to President Trump, and he has, through his counsel, announced his intention to assert those executive privileges enumerated above, we must accept his direction and honor his invocation of executive privilege,” Costello wrote. “Until these issues are resolved, we are unable to respond to your request for documents and testimony.”

Bannon, however, was not working in the executive branch when the pro-Trump mob attacked the national seat of legislative government.

1. Bannon

The House needs to use its perfectly legal “Inherent Contempt” authority to detain scumbags like Bannon. The House Sergeant at Arms needs to arrest and detain Bannon and the other trumpsters, just as was done during the TeaPot Dome Scandal of the 1920s. At the very least, this would shift the burden of time consuming appeals from the House to Bannon and the other seditionists as they go into Federal Court to try to gain their freedom.
