Won't Cooperate

[The AntiDonald]

Steve Bannon has sent a message to the 1-6 committee saying he will not cooperate with the subpoena. Who in the flying **** do these people think they are?

It's time for the committee to start locking people up. If they don't, and just play these games with criminals, our way of government is finished.

Was Bannon a white house advisor on Jan 6th? As far as I know, he was a private citizen and not part of the administration.

Lol what did you expect? It's Steve Bannon.

They are people who refuse to take part in a political dog and pony show.

The committee won't. Plain and simply. They'll just bitch and moan and their propaganda specialists...the media...will help them.

 

[soap box]

But Trump loves Rule of Law, as long as we're talking about his enemies. Law and order, remember that, seems quaint now

The fact that he wasn't part of the administration deoesn't mean he wasn't talking to Trump or other administration officials. He may have evidence to give.

"i know nothing"
"i plead the 5th"
or the democrats can hand out blanket immunity to every member of the GOP

your choice

In any future hearing, can we count on your support when democrats refuse to testify?

 

[BlueTex]

But it would affect executive privilege...

Where was your outrage when the generals refused to answer the questions regarding what they said to Biden regarding their input on the Afghan retreat? Instead, they punted and would only respond with what their personal thoughts were. Why didn't somebody on the panel have the balls to demand an answer to the question as asked. Who the flying **** do those people think they are?

"Law and Order," "Character matters"...added to the GOP dustbin of abandoned principles.

BUT LIBRULZ

A lot of people 'talked to Trump or other administration officials'. What does that have to do with either those who rioted at the capitol, or the security failures that allowed the breach of the building?

If they REALLY thought Bannon 'might have evidence' they would send investigators to talk to him, or ask the FBI to do so. Calling him to testify in front of a committee to 'see if he might have evidence' without any effort to establish this is clearly just for show.

At least the generals showed up. That's more than we can say for Mark Meadows, Bannon, et al

Where is the story you are referring to? Link?

That's because the generals aren't traitors.

So? That does nothing to allow him to refuse the subpoena.

 

[Craig234]

There is no "executive privilege" involved. That is a legal doctrine that belongs to the *current* president. trump is saying he'll try to use it, which legal experts say is simply a baseless attempt to try to cause a delay while the courts rule against him. The president who has executive privilege, Biden, has said through his press secretary that he will not claim it for this evidence.

 

[The AntiDonald]

Where is the story you are referring to? Link?

Everywhere. All major news outlets have reported it this morning. Except maybe for Fox. I wouldn't know about them.

We won't know any of that until they testify.

So, you’re a Steve Bannon supporter?

Alt-Right, white supremacist hero. Committer of wire fraud and money laundering. Advocate of deconstructing the administrative state. Hero of the KKK and American Nazi Party. Roy Moore supporter. Misogynist. Etc.

Nice.

 

[dcsports]

If they were really interested in conducting an investigation, they would find out. You don't bring someone to court to find out if they have evidence of a crime.

That's right. The committee has asked for documents first. Bannon has obviously refused all of it. It's called stonewalling.

The bottom line, this is not a criminal investigation. It's a fact finding investigation. If they come across a crime, it gets referred for prosecution. The congress of the United States is well within it's authority to call people to testify. Ignoring a subpoena is a criminal offence. It can be dealt with three different ways.

I await the committee's response to this blatant obstruction.

If bringing them to court is the only way to find out you bring them to court. What do you think subpoenas are for? If they want to plead the 5th they can do it in court.

In the meantime it's amusing to watch Trumpettes, dissemble, dissimulate, compromise their principles and otherwise run around like it's Watergate II.

You don't ever subpoena someone to testify in court without talking to them first. (Actually, if someone presented this subpoena to a court, it would be laughed out). You have investigators interview them, or conduct a deposition.
