Federal prosecutors told a court they could try their case against Steve Bannon in one day, but the former White House strategist's attorneys want to delay a possible trial for nearly a year.

Bannon was indicted last month on a contempt of Congress charge, after he defied a subpoena in the Jan. 6 investigation, and prosecutors said Monday in a court filing the case "very straightforward" and would need only one day of testimony, while defense attorneys estimated they would need about 10 days -- and asked for an October start date.

"In our view, this is not the average criminal case on the docket – because it will take more time to obtain discovery, and more time to fully brief the issues," defense lawyers said in the filing.

3. They should have had a court date of Jan 6, 2022

This is a straight legal argument, they sure as hell should not require that long to put it together on either side.

5. 7 months rather than 10. What complete fucking bullshit.

This is why we are done. We can’t get a traitorous piece of shit who paid people to try to kill Pelosi and pence and STOP the legit peaceful transfer of power.

We’re all standing around and watching them burn it all to the ground. But hey let’s get out there and vote. I’m sure the 30 states who passed laws giving them permission to decide which votes to count will care about liberal voters. NOT.
