One of the committee members said he did not plead the 5th and they got answers to all questions they could which probably means he did say executive or attorney-client priviledge on some questions.

Steve Bannon, ahead of his contempt trial, is saying he is now willing to testify but only if it is on a live broadcast. This seems to be the new strategy. Go live and play to the public.

Some pundits on Twitter were seeing this as a defense for Trump in any upcoming trials for him. See I waived executive priviledge for Bannon (even though he doesn't have any now). Not sure how the Committee is going to respond to it. With such an anti democracy and Democratic party stance as he usually has, it would not surprise me if he used it just to continue what was started on the 6th. I can't see them allowing him to do it live.

I think they ought to invite him
Put together a really slick package of videos, and statements from the members and never ever ask him a question but just make him sit there and watch the overwhelming amount of evidence… Maybe even put people next to him that will talk about him and the things he said and never ask him any thing or give him the floor the whole time Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

that would kinda defeat the whole fair and balanced approach they have been taking to these hearings wouldn't it? As much as I would like to see that. If it they were going to do it live, they would have to be ready to mute his mic, and make crystal clear before hand that his was a Congressional hearing not his podcast or a trial, and that he was there to answer their questions only.

I think they should ship him to Guantanamo and have him answer after water boarding. He's a repugnant vile traitor.

It's crazy how far the election fraud nonsense has gotten with zero evidence despite multiple opportunities to do so in court. We had the Wisconsin Supreme Court openly question the validity of the 2020 election and Nebraska, a state that isn't going Dem any time soon, is pushing a resolution requiring all ballots to be hand counted under video surveillance.

Actually, a filing after midnight from the DOJ gives us another reason. Bannon and Trump wanted to curtail the contempt hearing set for Wednesday because Bannon's attorney lied to the January 6th committee in their filing for refusal to testify. The DOJ wants to the hearing to proceed, and believes Bannon's reversal is in bad faith.

Trump appointed judge shot down all of Bannon's defenses today, except one and ordered the trial to go as scheduled next week, leaving his lawyer to say: “What’s the point of going to trial if we don’t have any defences” Also Lindsay Graham lost his appeal to not testify before the GA Grand jury today too, though he still says he's going to fight it.

I always make sure to watch Cheney's final statements, cause she always throws a ringer in there-can't wait to see which witness he tried to tamper with.
3 comments about this hearing: 1) Cippolini is still trying to protect the President too much-he was not Trump's lawyer, but White House Counsel-executive priviledge be damned 2)I thought the two witnesses today were effective and wish they had been given more time to speak-I think many of us, myself included have family and friends who were and still are much like the man from Ohio who marched on the Capital thanks to Trump's words. I wish we could have learned more about the OathKeepers as a group and less about its leader. 3)Wishful thinking perhaps, but I was hoping they had direct evidence of Trump meeting with the Proud Boys and other far-righters. 4) Glad the one Congresswoman read the list of Republicans at that meeting. Glad they named the main players in the Rally, wish they had included Ginni Thomas

I think the witness he called is likely the former CEO of Overstock. Seems like someone Trump would feel close enough to call and he is probably smart enough to not take the call.

Saw on Twitter that after the hearing Ayres shook hands with the Capitol Police witnesses that were there and apologized for what he did on Jan 6.

He said that and didn't even address the statement from Tapper. Anyone can attempt anything, including a coup, with minimal effort. It takes a lot of planning if you want to have a coordinated, efficient, successful coup. If you want it to happen organically, you make sure all the ingredients are in the pot, stir it, and hope it turns out the way you want. Trump was hoping for a combination of the crowd, Pence, GOP state legislatures, and the GOP on the ground in the Capitol to make it happen. This was never going to be a special forces operation, especially "masterminded" by Trump.

I have another candidate on who Trump tried to intimidate-Deputy press secretary Sarah Matthews, who was subpoenaed recently and before the change in schedule, testify this week I think:

According to a tweet I just read, the person Trump called is a WH support staff not accustomed to receiving calls from Trump. It happened after Cassidy Hutchinson's testimony.

I don't follow. It's his actions that matter, not whether the guy accepted his apology.

I think his actions might have something to do with an upcoming sentencing hearing. I think we saw his true colors before he potentially faced a year in prison. The guy showed no remorse until he plead guilty and even tried to blame innocent people for his actions.

Meh, I think the sheer national view of it meant that it was pretty sincere. There's no way his fellow (former?) Trumpites would accept "I was just trying to avoid jail" as a reason to apologize so publicly after saying the election wasn't stolen to congress. Forgive? Yes. Forget? No. He still has to face his punishment, but I'm thinking that was general remorse

The problem with the butt dial theory is that every time someone small like a WH staffer says something Trump doesn't like, he automatically says he didn't know the person. So why would he have their phone number if he barely knew them?

It doesn't explicitly say any of them voted for Trump or Clinton/Biden. Likely because they didn't vote Trump - or haven't publicly said who they voted for - and that would invariably draw the "Never Trump" argument against them, making this entire exercise look biased in the minds of those who need the most persuading.

I do wonder if after the mid terms the party will make a concerted effort to make him as irrelevant as possible. They have to know the effect he has on the party.

They absolutely do. They've supposedly talked him out of announcing a 2024 run a couple of times because they're worried about it hurting them in the midterms. They guy has lost the popular vote twice and lost a senate that is completely stacked to favor their party. The GOP would very likely be in far better shape if he had lost in 2016 and just faded away. They're a minority party that's only holding on because of gerrymandering and electoral college advantages. |

Supposedly Trump is now looking at a September announcement that he's running for President, which I assume would be great news for Dems coming just before midterms. Of course, we also heard he was going to be announcing on July 4th and that didn't happen.

I've never quite sure when Trump is playing checkers or when he's just following his basest impulses and picking up a pawn and chewing on it. But every time he threatens to run, does the RNC slip him some money or bend to kiss the ring so he doesn't so he just keeps threatening to do it to get that response? SI
