Steve Bannon was totally on-brand after the first real day of his trial on contempt-of-Congress charges yesterday. He went on a rant, inveighing against House January 6 committee chairman Bennie Thompson (D., Miss.), whom he called “gutless” for failing to show up in court to testify about the subpoenas that Bannon is accused of flouting.
The only conclusion to be drawn from this is that Bannon knows he’s going down in flames, but figures he’s probably looking at no more than a month or two in the slammer, so he might as well get his money’s worth by defiantly playing to his base.
