One struck prospective juror who said he thinks Steve Bannon is guilty said it was “preposterous” for Bannon to say he’d turn this into a “medieval battle.”

He said he watched all of the Jan. 6 committee hearings, and that he didn’t like people who lied about the 2020 election.

1. Personally, I am glad he's been watching the J6 hearings and dislikes Big Lie proponents.

[H2O Man]

2. Recommended.

This reminds me of many years ago, one of my uncles saying if one wants to avoid jury duty, simply say, "Bring the guilty SOB in, and let's give him a fair trial."

3. I had been told to...

go in wrapped in the American flag and shout "USA - USA - USA!!!!!"

But now I see that one might actually think it was a 'normal tourist visit.'” *

6. I like "All cops are liars" myself.

[plimsoll]

10. I just say:

I don't assume cops are telling the truth.

16. A friend's dad was asked, as a prospective juror, if he thought the accused was guilty.

He said, "If he wasn't guilty why would he have been arrested?"

17. My favorite go-to:

I watch MSNBC from the time I wake up to when I go to bed. I really like Rachel, Lawrence, Joy, and Chris. And as I'm in NYC, I add that I listen to WBAI, a Pacifica radio station that has a program called "On the Count" regarding prisoners' rights or lack thereof. And I'm an FDR Democrat. Sometimes I say Democratic Socialist.

That usually gets me excused.

4. Attorneys are Nit picking.

[Chainfire]

5. At least the person was honest...

Personally I hope that Bannon get a fair trial before he is imprisoned for two years. Of course, we could follow his wishes to take it medieval and give him the same punishment ruled out to traitors at the time. While I would not prefer to watch such punishment, it wouldn't soil my soul in hearing of it after the fact.

[ProfessorGAC]

7. Ditto

Every word you said!

[Justice matters.]

11. With the bunch of r-w installed incompetent judges...

He's going to get 2-times 30 days.

[Emile]

8. So what kind of jurors will they end up with?

I fear a bunch of lying republicans willing to let him off.

[SunSeeker]

14. The kind of dimwit doesn't have an opinion on Bannon...

...or a liar. Probably a liar.

[certainot]

15. all jurors who listen to rw radio need to be excluded

[Novara]

9. I just read a tweet. They have 14 and need 22 and it's going briskly

[aeromanKC]

12. Reverse Psychology. That guy is a Bannon mole.

Bannon will say, "see, I can't get a fair trial."

[Evolve Dammit]

13. Let's double down and reserve for Bannon true medieval punishments if he's guilty.

[The Wizard]

18. I can tell

a guilty person on sight.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

19. This trial is going to prove that America has ceased to be.

Our justice system of checks and balances vs lying liars. Who wins our future?

[33taw]

20. This is why I don't believe Trump will ever be indicted. The chance of conviction zero

[Ford_Prefect]

21. Can you spell T-O-A-S-T Steve? You are so past done the crust is starting to burn at the edges.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

22. Cast him into the Holy Boiling Waters. If he be guilty, he shall rise 3 times!

[Marcuse]

23. Fortunately for Bannon, the Constitution prohibits the government from going medieval.
