The schedule puts the high-profile case front-and-center as the 2022 midterm campaign is full swing, though Bannon was seeking to delay the trial even later -- proposing that it begin in mid-October."It seems to me you don't need 10 months to do this," Nichols said at a Tuesday status conference in the case, while concluding that that the Justice Department proposal for a mid-April trial would move things along too quickly. Nichols is blocking off two weeks for the trial.

Amanda Vaughn, a Justice Department attorney, said Tuesday that the release of that evidence and public commentary around it could inappropriately influence witness testimony at trial. "We do believe the committee's discussions about Mr. Bannon's subpoena...is the business of the public," David Schoen, an attorney for Bannon, said. Nichols sounded somewhat skeptical of Bannon's arguments, but also had pointed questions for the DOJ's position.

Remember this: Bannon, Trump and alllies conduct is actually the conduct of destruction and fear; lies are told because one is afraid of the consequences should one tell the truth; thus, the liar is inevitably a coward, the coward is inevitably a liar. —

Dude always looks like he just walked out of a homeless camp and woke up in the drunk tank

Resist the hypocrisy.

He is requesting time to cook up a scheme to get away with this… and the judge is *check notes* allowing it? 🤦🏾‍♀️

Bye bye Bannon

🙄

What a joke

Congress is useless and powerless.

July 18th…GREAT…then they’ll be another delay bc someone’s shoes are untied… ENOUGH OF THIS CRAP- WHEN WILL WE SEE JUSTICE SERVED?

How about January 18th?

Who’s gonna run out the clock here…

Is there a reason this trial can’t start next week. Does anyone really need 7 months. Talk about a dysfunctional view of Washington and politics overall. SpeakerPelosi SenSchumer

الحمدلله.. فوز منتخبنا الوطني للناشئين على نظيره الأردني بثلاثة أهداف مقابل هدف وحيد ويصبح متصدراً للمجموعة الثالثة من بطولة غرب آسيا برصيد ثلاث نقاط. ألف ألف مبروووووووك💪🏼🔥🇾🇪

Are you joking? Only for the rich! My court date would have been set for one week from now!

How the hell is there even anything to try?! He was required to show... and he didnt... case closed!

If he deigns to show up.

He should sit in jail until then

He should be home with a ankle bracelet until then ?

July 18th!? I give up! Looks like we're going thru another Trump term in 2024! Just come out n say we won't do anything about January 6th! Simple! July 18th! Give me a break!

Lock him up

Trial by jury For contempt of congress? Where can I buy tickets! Holy hell. Discovery is going to be insane. I hope they don't drop charges, but we all know they can't allow discovery.

What about Donald's court date? 🤔

Who is the judge on this case? This is unacceptable at best. Bannon needs no preparation for a defense. You are either Guilty, or Not Guilty, for refusing to testify. These benches need to be cleared of obstructive, weenie-assed justices.

The sense of urgency is outstanding! Not…

Eight months, to do what? To delay. To buy time. Easy as eating a cupcake. By then it's election time..., 'Sorry, bad timing, folks. Too busy now.' Of course Mr. Bannon. Our apologies. Go ahead. We'll find another time that's more at your convenience.

What a joke.

July...

Might as well be in 2025 wtf

Not that this investigation is important or anything, why does the court system loved to be played by wealthy people. Normal guy steal a slice of pizza sit in jail for months or years waiting for a court date.

He'll get a slap on wrist, at the most.
