Testify. Say nothing helpful. Criminal charge goes away.

close, does ANYTHING that helps someone else unless it helps him.

Never.

So is this a setup, is Bannon gonna lie nonstop?

can be disseminated. If the J6 committee wants to hear from him at all, which I doubt, they'll insist on a closed-session deposition.

do not give that idiot live camera time!

That shit will boomerang on us so hard.

If the committee thinks that they can control his mouth, they are woefully mistaken.

Sworn deposition under oath behind closed doors.

Any usable footage can be used when needed.

No way the committee should let him testify on live TV.

Fuck that shit!

at the table..Trump is shitting bricks..he needs a spy, a defender, and he sees Bannon as that guy...(Trump's meaningless gesture of waiving non existent executive privilege)

if the J6 committee did agree to a behind-closed-doors sit down, it would be more for entertainment value rather than information gathering...and Bannon, like Navarro is neck deep in the plot to overthrow the United Stat government and more than likely facing federal sedition charges...

He will try to hijack the J6 Committee hearings if allowed to speak live.
