Prosecutors say Bannon seeking to 'try this case in the media rather than in court'
By Harper Neidig - 11/29/21 10:37 AM EST

Federal prosecutors accused Steve Bannon and his lawyers of attempting to try in the media the contempt of Congress charges the former White House strategist faces for defying subpoenas from the House committee investigating the Jan.6 attack on the Capitol.

In a court filing submitted Sunday night, the D.C. U.S. Attorney's office pushed back on the defense's effort to unseal all evidence in the case, including grand jury testimony. The prosecutors argued that the move would be unusual and extreme in a criminal case.

"The defense’s misleading claims, failure to confer, unexplained wholesale opposition, and extrajudicial statements make clear the defense’s real purpose: to abuse criminal discovery to try this case in the media rather than in court," the prosecutors wrote.


Bannon pleaded not guilty earlier this month to two counts of contempt of Congress, both misdemeanors, for refusing to comply with select committee subpoenas for documents and testimony about his involvement in the events of Jan. 6 and his communications with the Trump White House.

He told reporters that the case against him would be the "misdemeanor from hell" for President Biden and Democratic leaders, vowing to "go on offense."

You can lie to the media - that's not a crime.

What the hell is wrong with you Bannon? Don't you know only the FedGov is allowed to do that?

You puerile, insignificant serfs and plebes do not have such privileges.

You are expected to die Mr. Bond.

As well he should...Bannon is simply playing by the rules set forth by the left in cases like this.

the headline should read ‘Bannon seeks to defend himself in the court of public opinion, where the media hopes to try his case’

This coming from the people who sought to try this case in the legislature.

That would be an honest headline if it were printed.
