Date in his case. and heres how this works, according to our friends at "the washington post." quote, prosecutors proposed a one-day trial in april to answer what they suggested was an open-and-shut question of whether bannon was guilty. bannons defense countered by asking for a ten-day trial in october, beginning just before next years midterm congressional elections. that is what less fancy people call running out the clock. weve also learned that trump adviser roger stone plans to plead the f...

Communication as january 6th unfolded. he -- didnt assert some privilege about, that he sent it over to us. we would like to ask him questions about it, and it is ridiculous that he is now sending it to us and refusing to answer questions about it. >> on the right side for meadows, his new book is out today, you could read all about his time at the white house and his tails of being that close to power. so you might wonder, when the committee hold someone in contempt, what does that mean? well, ...

From non-appearance or non-testimony but, i think bannon is up to his eyeballs. i think hes a vital witness. i think he could lead to trump or those closest to trump and i do believe that the indications are that trump is much more involved in this whole thing than we think he was. >> do you think this committee will ultimately get access to the documents and testimony they want and if so, by the time the next election rolls around? every cynic in washington is just shaking their heads and sayin...
