Corrupt Politicians Overseeing Jan 6 Committee Are Scared of the Truth – Bannon’s Subpoenas Scare Them to Death

The Daily Beast, a far-left publication, put out a piece this morning about Steve Bannon and the strategy behind not showing up before the Jan 6 Committee.  The article starts off in the right direction.

Steve Bannon—the right-wing media personality turned adviser to Donald Trump turned right-wing media personality again—became the first person in nearly 40 years to be indicted on a charge of criminal contempt of Congress last month after he refused to cooperate with the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection. Now, Bannon appears to be using his criminal case to go after the committee that went after him.

Bannon is attempting to force investigators to potentially expose who they’ve talked to and what they’ve said, peek into secret communications on the committee, and create a playbook for other resistant witnesses, according to several legal experts.

“There’s no cost to opposing Congress if you can give Congress a black eye for even daring to ask you questions,” said Kel McClanahan, an attorney who specializes in national security matters.

As Bannon faces criminal charges, he’s entitled to the evidence against him. And in a typical galaxy-brain, Bannon countergambit, Trump’s former senior adviser is trying to make some of that evidence public.

According to a Sunday night court filing by federal prosecutors, that includes secret witness interviews by law enforcement and internal communications between House committee staff members. The Justice Department claims this material that, were it exposed to the public, would cause “specific harms” like “witness tampering” or making it impossible to find impartial jurors at a future trial.

In a court filing on Tuesday, Bannon’s lawyers said the government’s argument was “festooned with hyperbole… perhaps designed to score points with the media.” That same day, a “press coalition” of 15 news organizations—including Buzzfeed, CNN, and The Washington Post—sided with Bannon and asked the judge overseeing the case to make documents available and reject what it called “this broad gag order.”

From there the Daily Beast goes left in its reporting insinuating what Bannon is doing is illegal.  But is it?

Americans deserve to know what actions Congress took before, during, and after the January 6th protest at the Capitol.

** Why were Trump’s calls for the National Guard ignored by Pelosi?
** How many FBI informants were at the rally that day? Did they foment the violence? How long were these informants working with patriot groups beforehand?
** Who is Ray Epps? Why was this government informant leading calls to ransack the US Capitol?
** Why did the Capitol Police walk away and leave the door unguarded before Ashli Babbitt was murdered in cold blood?
** Why was Babbitt’s killer allowed to walk free?
** Why are they ignoring Rosanne Boyland’s murder by Capitol Police?
** Will AG Merrick Garland face justice for lying about a Boyland investigation that never took place?
** When will Philip Anderson be called in to testify after Capitol Police nearly killed him along with Boyland?
** Why were the 1,000+ legal affidavits of fraud ignored following the 2020 election?
** Why did the FBI and DOJ ignore all accusations of fraud?
** Why is the government withholding 14,000 hours of security videotape from that day?
** What are they hiding?

And why are Congress and the DOJ withholding information from those they prosecute who have every right to this information?

Americans deserve the truth.  Bannon is right to ask for it and to make it transparent.  Congress was wrong to create a corrupt committee whose only purpose is to destroy Trump loyalists while ignoring the truth.
