Why the FUCK does bannon get to continue so spew his bullshit

[demtenjeep]

Jesus christ


He has Gaetz
Green
Cawthorn and the other Qberts?

WHY

[SoCalDavidS]

1. Because Our Justice System Is A Joke? nt

[NurseJackie]

5. Nonsense.

[dem4decades]

8. Oh he's gonna pay...................................... as soon as pig's fly

[Archae]

2. Because "da rulz..."

Are only for "leftists," "libs," the other guy.

Bannon has no intention of ever playing by the correct rules, that most of us follow.

Like his buddy Trump, he does what he wants when he wants to.

[NurseJackie]

6. No. He has rights too.

[Archae]

12. Rights come with responsibilities as well.

If I wrote or said on a radio show or podcast that John Doe was a pedophile and wife-beater, I could easily and rightfully so get sued for libel or slander.

Much of what Bannon says on his shows is false, and he can be sued.

[NurseJackie]

15. In an ideal world. What are you suggesting as the solution?

Maybe he will be. Let's hope. Checks and balances, eh?

[Grasswire2]

16. Dunno why anyone would be defending a traitor.

And I don't know why this traitor was treated like a gentleman upon his arrest -- allowed to turn himself in after the weekend, allowed to broadcast sedition freely across the land.

Elmer the one-eye is in federal custody.

Bannon is even more dangerous.

And yet someone let him walk free, and he doesn't go before a judge until July.

[NurseJackie]

17. Defending horrible people has GOT to be the worst job in the world...

... but someone's got to do it.

[Grasswire2]

18. well, WE don't.

Horrible people can hire someone. Or be appointed a public defender.

SMDH

[NurseJackie]

19. Who is the "we" you're referring to?

[Grasswire2]

21. we who aren't appointed or hired to protect him. nt

[NurseJackie]

22. Nobody here is doing that.

we who aren't appointed or hired to protect him. nt

Nobody here is doing that.

[Grasswire2]

23. LOL done here. nt

[NurseJackie]

24. I figured that was the response I'd get...

... after all it's easier to walk way from unfounded accusations than it is to have to back them up. Nobody here is "defending" him.

[TreasonousBastard]

3. Because he has the same rights we have. The spewing of...

bullshit is simply competition with the truth.

Unfortunately, bullshit wins too often.

[SoCalDavidS]

9. We Have The Right To Defy A Congressional Subpoena? nt

[TreasonousBastard]

10. We do. We also must accept the consequences. If he gets...

away with it, there are other questions to answer.

[Grasswire2]

25. He did get away with it.

They let him turn himself in after the weekend, and then let him go a free man.

NO BOND REQUIRED
No consequences but a court date seven months down the road.

An instigator of the worst crime in American history and still allowed to spew sedition and violence.

Sickening.

[emulatorloo]

11. His trial is in July

[dwayneb]

13. 1st amendment is a strength and a weakness

We've learned that to our dismay during the age of disinformation and the Internet.

Democracies are fragile, once we lose our moral underpinnings a determined anarchist movement can take them down.

All it takes here in the USA to destroy it is to keep repeating lies and spreading hate and division.

[Grasswire2]

20. He could just as easily NOT have those rights, under the law.

But he's being treated as a gentleman by TPTB, not as the sedition-talking traitor he is.

The state has the power to charge him, lock him up, with a gag order, to await trial.

[onenote]

26. What would be the grounds for a gag order that would prevent him from commenting

on Pence?

[Grasswire2]

27. a gag order can just be a gag order.

It can be anything authorities want it to be.

In the case of Paul Manafort and Gates, Judge Amy Berman Jackson opined:

"In order to safeguard defendants' rights to a fair trial, and to ensure that the court has the ability to seat a jury that has not been tainted by pretrial publicity, all interested participants in the matter, including the parties, any potential witnesses, and counsel for the parties and the witnesses, are hereby ordered to refrain from making statements to the media or in public settings that pose a substantial likelihood of material prejudice to this case," Jackson wrote.

A gag order on Bannon could, ergo, protect him from a tainted jury pool. Arguably.

[onenote]

28. It can't be "anything authorities want it to be"

Your own example proves otherwise. There has to be a risk to a fair trial of the defendant. Nothing Bannon said about Pence was about Bannon's trial or posed a risk to his getting a fair trial or posed a substantial likelihood of material prejudice to Bannon in his trial for defying Congress' subpoena.

[dchill]

4. Because he has destroyed the administrative state, that's why!

[Chainfire]

7. Bannon is just serving his masters.

[pwb]

14. I haven't heard or read a word from him?

Even here I try to pass over posts with his message and the other freaks you mentioned, but it is hard.
