Above is a still that I took off the video. Watch the coup plotter sign follow Bannon in this 1:20 clip from this page:
https://www.cnn.com/2021/11/15/politics/steve-bannon/index.html
When Bannon walked through the throng of reporters, this person walked alongside him the entire way, holding this sign up. Very clear, in black and white, it said "Coup Plotter." It was, in effect, a label that followed Bannon throughout his entire time on that tv clip.
So Bannon, known for his tv stuntsmanship, has been outclassed coming out of the starting gate. Thank you Coup Plotter person!!
Here's what's on the agenda for Bannon, the Coup Plotter, today:
routine booking questions
fingerprinting
dna swab
headed to the district court this p.m.
he will face the judge, who will tell him the maximum punishment
the judge will tell him to get attorney
He is facing 2 counts.
It appears he may be going for an advice of counsel defense, which is why he is getting a new attorney.
He will have to waive attorney client privilege, but if an attorney actually told him to ignore the subpoena, this is a defense.
They will set a trial date; the reporter remarked the courts are very backed up. This may play out over an extended period of time.

(16,856 posts)Bannon and any others who get indicted need to be top priority for the courts. I think a new coup is being plotted now, and letting these trials drag out is exactly what Trump needs to happen. If the truth comes out about the first coup, it will be harder to accomplish a second coup. Also, this needs to happen before a GOP majority gets elected next year and all of this ugly business is covered back up.

(16,856 posts)We've already heard a lot of evidence that there was a coup, Trump was the ringleader, and the names of the other principals involved. I'm not sure, however, if there is enough hard evidence to prove that there is another one afoot, although I'm sure there is. Maybe the FBI is compiling that evidence now. But Trump needs and deserves to be locked up. He has been involved in seditious activity before and I believe he still is. Get that testimony from those witnesses ASAP and put him away!
