July date for Steve Bannon's contempt of Congress trial
Doesn't mean the 1/6 hearings are doomed. House has reams of testimony and video. It can proceed w/o Bannon, Meadows and many others very successfully and later on double back and bring contempt charges. I seriously doubt the House expected all the Trumpnazis to turn on him. DU worriers need to unclutch their pearls.

2. Focus here
"
Mike Pence staffer who Trump banned from the White House is cooperating with January 6 committee The congressional panel looking into the January 6 insurrection is getting "significant cooperation from Team Pence," a source told CNN on Monday, with the former vice president's ex-chief of staff reportedly complying with the committee's investigation. Marc Short, the Pence aide, could provide key testimony concerning both the lead-up to the attack on the US Capitol and events on January 6 itself to the committee, which is led by Rep. Bennie Thompson, a Mississippi Democrat, and Rep. Liz Cheney, a Wyoming Republican. As Insider previously reported, Short was critical of the legally dubious effort, spearheaded by right-wing attorney John Eastman, to have Pence block the certification of President Joe Biden's victory in the 2020 election. One constitutional law expert described the plan as a "proposed coup cloaked in legal language." Short himself called it "boneheaded analysis." |

3. It is an interesting and postive development.However history would suggest
that getting over confident that the GOP will be held accountable for their misdeeds is a losing bet.
