So, I’m suspecting we need to expect two steps back.
Of course, it’s just an indictment. It will be years before any of this is ever litigated. Hey, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton earned a felony criminal indictment six and half years ago and he’s still the damn attorney general and pals around with a former president.
It’s beautiful in southeast Texas. Have a great weekend.
Welcome to The World's Most Dangerous Beauty Salon, Inc.
My name is Susan DuQuesnay Bankston. I live in Richmond, Texas, in the heart of Tom DeLay's old district. It's nuttier than squirrel poop here.
I am honored and privileged to know Miss Juanita Jean Herownself, hairdresser extraordinary and political maven. Since she does not have time to fiddle with this internet stuff, I type her website for her and you can read it if you want to. If you don't, she truly does not give a big bear's butt.
A lot of what I post here has to do with local politics, but you probably have the same folks in your local government.
This ain't a blog. Blogs are way too trendy for me. This is a professional political organization.
Bannon is probably breathing a sigh of relief on this beautiful day, here too, that it’s an just an indictment. Not Double Secret Probation.
1Apparently not all indictments are equal nor are the states uniform as to their delivery. But what good is smash and grab justice when a scofflaw like Bannon is given advance notice and an extra couple of days to destroy evidence, if there’s anything remaining he hasn’t already destroyed?
Or, maybe the local SWAT Team simply refused to deliver on a Friday as they didn’t want to spend the weekend in quarantine delousing themselves and their equipment.
2One hopes that the DOJ can take the Bannon paperwork, do a find/replace of “Bannon” for “Meadows”, and get the next indictment quickly.
I’m surprised Bannon didn’t just say that he’d shredded all his files right before the new Congress was convened, gone to the deposition, and played the Reagan Defense of “I don’t recall…”
3Bannon’s claiming executive privilege (on orders from der trumpf) when he wasn’t actually working for the White House at the time. How fast this question gets to the supremes will determine if he’s successful in avoiding testifying. Then of course he’ll just take the 5th for hours if/when he does testify.
4Such a pity they won’t send a SWAT team with flashbangs and gas grenades at 2:AM to arrest him.
5Something tells me that dawdling on this isn’t an option. Mark Meadows is up next. And, all this is apparently about the campaign and not the running of the government–which gets executive privilege off the table. There’s no such privilege for campaigns.
6BarbinDC, such good news. Dimwit Jr. tRump and the kids are about to experience daddykin’s version of ‘loyalty’ as are many of his loyal sycophants/co-conspirators. What we wouldn’t give for an 8×10 colored glossy of Princess Sparkletwat and Jughead Kushner when they discover how valuable they are to the ***king moron**.
Time for Homeland Security or some alphabet soup of govt. agency to place a screeching halt on Donnie and Messy’s passports.
7It will be MONTHS – not years – before this is litigated.
8From the Borowitz report at the New Yorker:

The link itself suffices for the joke.
As for the (lack of) speed in litigating this, as I vaguely recall from the Watergate era courts seemed to take the view that it required expedited review for the good of the country. But with so many T**** Liberty University judges ensconced on the judiciary, they may try to play jurisdiction roulette to eventually get one of the Mitch McConnel Specials.
9Dirty Steve has already done time in service of the orange one. You would think he might learn before taking another for that snake charmer. Think he’s thinking that if he goes to the all the carbs you can protect jail just until the orange one can get him out free again that he’ll have proved he can be a loyal asshat to the grande asshatter ? Or do laws just roll off those rotund bellies as though they mean nothing?
10It’s a start. We’re a LOOOOONG way from the end, but it’s a start. To keep it going, of course, we’re going to have to have a Democratic administration, because letting a Republican back into the White House will stop it in its tracks.
11I see that bannon’s case was assigned to a trumpf federal judge who also clerked for sexual abuse justice thomas. Not a good prospect for justice in bannon’s case or others like meadows once a presence has been set. He’ll never go to trial. IMO
12Precedence. Fat thumb or spell changer
13The Watergate scandal took a lot longer to resolve than people seem to remember.
On May 28, 1972, G. Gordon Liddy’s team broke into the Democratic National Headquarters at the Watergate Hotel.
August 8, 1974 (more than two years later), President Nixon resigned. In the meantime, a bunch of people around him went down first.
The History Channel has a timeline of events from when Nixon was elected until his resignation.

“Executive privilege” is not dependent on the employment status of the advisor. It is the Executive’s privilege to be advised on his Constitutional work by whoever he or she wants to talk with.
However, this ought to be an open and shut case. As a judge memorably pointed out,
— “Presidents are not kings and plaintiff is not president” —
* Joe Biden is President, and he determines what ought to remain private. In this case, he’s decided there is no reason to shield the Presidency by claiming there ought to be a “privilege.”
* Bannon is not being asked how he advised Trump on any Presidential business, but on the campaign and its aftermath.
However it turns out, a message is being sent that ought to motivate those who cannot afford or fundraise for extensive work by a defense attorney. Non-millionaire young professionals are much more likely to be persuaded to talk with the J6 Committee staff.
15Thanks for the correction. Constitutional work of an insurrection. Guess the fux news mouthpieces he speaks with could claim executive privilege, too, because they were advising him on his constitutional work.
16Bannon turned hisself in early this morning to some authority. He is in federal hands, for now.
17Newsmax declared they are tired of pushing magat conspiracy theories and hired some straight news producers from Fake Noize.
This isn’t April Fool’s Day by chance?
