Has Bannon been indicted yet? nt

2. No, he's not a democrat. Different rules for republicans who are generally above the law

3. Has 45's claims of executive privivlege been finally refuted yet? No. Bannon's free ...

... until 45's appeals are done. He's lost all the way up to Federal District court, I believe he's got just one more level and then the SCOTUS gets it.

Can you wait until the legal process is gone through? Or should we just lynch them?

6. So far 45 has lost three(?) appeals as well as the sitting President's thumbs down on ...

... privilege. 45 claims whatever conversations he had on January 6 or about Jan 6 are covered by executive privilege. Within a month or so, depending on whether the SCOTUS decides to take the case and when it gets put on the calendar he'll have played out his string.

Once it's decided to either not take the case leaving the last court ruling against 45 stand, or they take and rule against 45 - then Bannon's got no cover and if he again refuses, he's actually in locked into Contempt of Congress and Garland will go after him (no doubt in my mind). Right now his claim hinges on 45's claims.

Personally, I can't wait till stinky gets hauled in front of the committee and he has to explain himself.

7. Not as simple of a question as one might presume:

Apparently there are prior DOJ/OLC legal opinions that may be complicating this process, and the committee’s subpoena language may have been too vague and broad, and could be interpreted as encompassing a president’s official duties, in addition to personal/political activities.

13. Fourteen months until a Republican House shuts down the 1/6 committee, and another 24

until they re-install TFG in the White House. Then we’ll start seeing subpoenas enforced.

The DUmmies are so incredibly short-sighted. Don't they realize that this sets the precedent to have Biden's conversations unprotected by executive privilege?  Do they really want that?

Those conversations will primarily consist of "opps, I crapped my pants" and "pull my finger"
