I know that we can all get het up from time to time, and I am not immune myself, but there is a process, and we have to give the process time to play out. And yes there are delaying tactics, but that is baked into the system for a reason. So everyone take a deep breath, and lets see how this plays out in the appropriate amount of time allotted for by the process.

Yeah, I bet Bannon can’t even sleep at night, so consumed with fear is he over the House’s 1/6 committee threats.

I’m expecting a three stooges slap at the very minimum.

Only until the Reinstallation of Trump next month.

Patience. We aren’t the other side. We’re the grown-ups. We’re going to do it right.

Russians working in the Foreign Service do so because they got tired of smell of alcohol in the morning. If they had wanted to deals with drunks like Bannon they would have stayed in Russia.

Is it Fitzmas season again? Seems to come earlier with every administration.

When I was very young, I saw Herbert Hoover in an elevator on the Stanford campus.

If questioned about that incident, can I claim executive privilege?

Any word on from TFG on this ‘cooperation’ yet? I want these people to start tearing each other apart in the media—it will encourage others to rat him out.

I wonder who’s working on a deal with the Committee? First one in gets a deal - second one gets 10-20.

Between Bannon, Sidney Powell, Trump, Lindell, etc. and all of the televangelists, how much longer before the Trumpers run out of money?

Only if he instructed you to burn down the White House.

I believe someone somewhere once said ‘there’s a sucker born every minute.’

I’m fine with all of that. I’m not so fine with Schiff and others going on TV multiple times, saying how they’re about to get tough. That feeds a narrative that the Dems are all talk and no action. Why not just shut up and let it play out, one way or another?

I’m happy to be patient with the actual process. I’m not so patient with bragging about what’s about to be done, when it ain’t been done yet.

Schiff is in exactly the same place he has been since he got into this investigation and the same goes for Bannon.

Schiff has to change things for things to change. He has the power and simply talks to Bannon? wtf?

There are 100 million people they can grift for cash through various fund raising schemes. Their revenue sources are essentially limitless when you consider the intellect and gullibility of those they appeal to.

Unless I’m mistaken, Costello wrote the letter to Bannon and the others saying that Trump was instructing them not to cooperate. But this piece states that Costello is Bannon’s lawyer. Is he representing both Trump and Bannon? If so, that’s probably not very smart from Bannon’s perspective, since Trump will throw all four of these turkeys (and everyone else) under the bus to save his own fat ass which, as we know, is much more important to him than Bannon’s fat ass, pardon notwithstanding.

Say what you want about Bannon, but he’s not a loser or a mindless drunk.
He’s still worth 48 million.
He co-founded Breitbart News in 2007.

Bannon started his career as an investment banker at Goldman Sachs. In 1990, he set up his own company, Bannon & Co, a boutique investment bank specializing in media.

His foray into media didn’t end there either, in the 90s, he went onto become an executive producer in Hollywood, producing 18 films including Sean Penn’s The Indian Runner.
Interestingly, some of his wealth comes from TV show Seinfeld. After advising Westinghouse Electric on a sale, Bannon was reportedly paid in shares of five shows. Seinfeld has generated an estimated $3.26 billion in global syndication.

He just looks like a drunk and a loser.

Nope.

J6 Committee refers to DC US Attorney, who makes a presentment to a grand jury, which issues an indictment.
