Just before closing arguments were set to begin Friday, alcoholic Nazi degenerate Steve Bannon’s defense team filed a motion on whether the House January 6th Select Committee’s “inflammatory” inclusion of the October 31st, 2020 audio clip of Bannon, who told his pals fat former President Trump planned to declare victory on election night no matter what happened, in the Thursday night prime time hearing may have tainted the jury, Politico’s Kyle Cheney reports.
“Now that we know that it included a highly inflammatory segment featuring Mr. Bannon, the question arises as to whether jurors should be questioned about any exposure to the piece. An associated concern is whether a juror might be reticent to acknowledge having seen the broadcast or having heard about or discussed it if she or he believes she or he might have run afoul of a rule and be in trouble with the Court. The Defendant respectfully requests, subject to the Court’s experienced view on how best to address the matter, that there should be some inquiry, while assuring the jurors of the importance of candor and that they will not suffer negative consequences if they acknowledge exposure to the broadcast or its subject,” wrote Bannon’s lawyers.
