Bannon lawyers hit with four sustained objections in 'truly remarkable' closing statements: reporter

[William769]

Lawyers representing former Trump White House political strategist Steve Bannon on Friday repeatedly drew the ire of both the judge and prosecutors during their closing arguments.

Bannon, who led Trump's successful 2016 presidential election campaign, was among dozens of people called to testify about the storming of Congress by Trump supporters.

Bannon was indicted on two charges of contempt of Congress after refusing to testify to a House of Representatives committee probing the violence.

Politico reporter Kyle Cheney describes the Bannon legal team's closing arguments as "truly remarkable" on the grounds that they were hit with four sustained objections while making them, which is an unusually high number to have for a closing argument.

1. Grasping at straws -

the ONLY chance they had......

2. And the truth dangling the straws a little bit higher, each time.

3. Right...

Trying to get their shit in whether lawfully per court rules or not.

Go figure.

4. CRAZY thing is......

there is reason to wonder if ANY of these attorneys will even be paid by their 'trustworthy' (HA!) clients...
After all, look at who their 'leader' is......

5. Like throwing ketchup against the wall

to see if it sticks...

6. I saw what you did there.

7. Hoping to make the judge appear prejudiced against Bannon

8. Bannon's attorneys tried to argue that ... Thompson (D-MS) didn't put a valid signature on the ...

... subpoena.

If they had a valid argument on this, my guess is that they could have raised it in the defense part of the trial. But they chose not to put on a defense. I guess they don't believe it (and their other claims) would not stand up to cross examination.

9. The judge disallowed a whole lot of arguments Bannon wanted to make. NT

10. "was among dozens called to testify" ...

Dozens??

Umm, there have been over 1,000 people testify to the J6 committee.

I bet that part came from the Politico reporter.

11. Sounds like his lawyers are as dumb as their client.

12. JFC

Trump "never has to go to a voter again" ... "he's done his last election"....

What the holy fuck. We don't know how lucky we really are.

They need to seriously round up all the traitors and get them locked up or the USA isn't going to be around much longer.

Edit: should probably explain the article had a link to the leaked Bannon tape --
