1. As esteemed Mr. Kirschner predicted

yesterday.

Frickin' coward - typical bully.

[kentuck]

2. He's hoping he mentioned the word "Democrat" enough to persuade a jurist to vote not guilty.

That is all that is needed with many people today.

[Takket]

3. seems to be a theme with these bozos

they are all talk but in a court room, where no one has to listen to your shit and only facts matter, they have nothing to say.

[PJMcK]

6. Just like Giuliani

He never alleged voter fraud in court because he knew he couldn’t produce it.

All BS.

4. Bannon is calling no witnesses. Presenting no defense. Nothing. This aged as poorly as he did.

5. I thought it was going to be medieval?

[PJMcK]

9. Yeah, me, too

Bannon has always been all talk and then BS.

Bye, Stevie. Have fun in the can.

10. Definitely no Kraken either (nt)

[Botany]

7. Steve Bannon is a blowhard because as much as he likes to gab he goes silent when ...

... given a chance to get sworn in and have a chance to "chat up" a US Attorney.

8. I kind of think the jury is not going to want to go into the weekend arguing about this

11. Is the fix in or has Bannon gone belly up?

Seem pleading guilty would have been much less expensive.

12. If I were on the jury I'd be pissed at having been dragged into this taxpayer funded waste

Of time then have the defense fail to put on a defense because we all know there is no defense. He is guilty of contempt of Congress. The attorneys should be sanctioned.

13. Not sure you can sanction the lawyer... when the client is a moron.

This is probably how the conversation went down...

Lawyer: Steve you should take a plea deal. Get two for one. You'll be out in a month.

SB: Nope I am going to go medieval.

Lwyer: If you lie under oath, they'll add a charge of perjury. One charge for each lie. You really should plea.

SB: Nope. Only back dudes take plea deals. White guys like me get someone on the jury to hang it. I wanna testify.

Lawyer: Steve, I won't call you. I would be suborning perjury. The only thing truthful you might say is that your name is Steve Bannon and the correct web address of your podcast. I can't put you on the stand if you are going to lie. Do you think that you can tell the truth.


SB: They'll never know I was lying. I'll say I tried to cooperate and they didn't let me.

Lawyer: Did you try to cooperate before the deadline. Can you say that?

SB: Nope. I'll say I offered last week.

Lawyer; Steve, you will be admitting to the crime if you say that offered to cooperate last week. The deadline was almost 6 months ago. I cannot let you testify. You will definitely just convict yourself.

SB: I'll claim the system is rigged. The judge didn't let me say what I wanted to say.

Lawyer: Then you'll add contempt of court and get me sanctioned. Nope. I am not going to let you talk.

SB: Then why did we go to court.

Lawyer: Because you didn't take the plea deal.You are an idiot Steve.


The only way to prevent censure was not to allow stinky the clown to testify

[onecaliberal]

14. I hear you, my point is everyone knows he guilty, but we wasted how much money on this.

These people are radioactive.

[JT45242]

16. I feel sorry for the lawyer, jurors, and judge

I hope the hit him with double max -- time and fines.

Short deliberation.

It is a colossal waste of resources.

[Johnny2X2X]

15. Swift justice

I want to see a verdict and sentencing on the same day, but alas, they'll probably delay sentencing for several months.

[tinrobot]

17. I wonder how much he paid that one juror?
