Steve Bannon’s defense lawyer Rob Costello has filed a motion to withdraw as counsel from the degenerate Nazi alcoholic’s upcoming trial on charges of criminal contempt of Congress due to a likely conflict posed by his past interactions with the House January 6th Select Committee
“Due to the fact that I have been the only individual who interacted with the Select Committee and that Mr. Bannon’s sole basis of information about the facts and the law concerning this matter came about through communications with me, there has always been the possibility that I might be called as a witness in this matter… In light of the possibility that I could become a witness, I examined the ethical opinions of the bar of this Court to determine if I could participate as Mr. Bannon’s co-counsel in the pre-trial portions of this proceeding. According to a published opinion, I am permitted to participate in the pre-trial aspects until such time as it becomes apparent that I would be a witness at trial,” wrote Costello in the motion. Bannon’s trial starts July 18th.
