Bannon Subpoenaed To Testify Before Russia Probe Grand Jury
https://www.yahoo.com/news/ex-trump-adviser-bannon-subpoenaed-special-counsel-russia-170414980.html
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Steve Bannon, a former top adviser to U.S. President Donald Trump, has been subpoenaed to testify before a grand jury as part of a special counsel's probe into alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 U.S. presidential election, the New York Times reported on Tuesday.
The New York Times, which cited a person with direct knowledge of the matter in its report, said it marked the first time Special Counsel Robert Mueller has used such a move against a member of Trump's inner circle.
A spokesman for the special counsel declined to comment on the report.
Bannon, who recently had a public falling out with Trump over comments he made to an author of a controversial book, was meeting on Tuesday with the U.S. House of Representatives' Intelligence Committee as part of its own Russia investigation.
Lock him up.
Bannen or Trump
of course
BOTH
that's what I'm here for
Same thing was said about Michael Flynn......what happened to him again?
it marked the first time Special Counsel Robert Mueller has used such a move against a member of Trump's inner circle
betting Bannon requested this, so he can say he had no choice
What does Michael Flynn know about Bannon's involvement that could put Bannon in jeopardy for perjury if Bannon tries to lie in order to protect Trump?
It is going to get interesting.
I'd have to guess
ALOT
Mueller's gradually tightening the vise around Trump's balls. I can't wait to see what the soon-to-be-sent right-wing chain email tells the Trumpettes to say.
I Can
I've missed your intelligent input.
are you implying you haven't missed my unintelligent output
cause
I would certainly understand.
I do respect your input though, for what ever that's not worth
I generate enough unintelligent input of my own. I don't need anyone's assistance.
just saying hello
no offense meant, hopefully none taking
I enjoy reading your correspondence to inferior debaters
No offense taken. I do not get insulted or offended easily.
That is very kind of you to say. I hope I can live up to that.
I sometimes do
I'm the little snowflake melting, while hiding in the corner
maybe you recall me from Newsvine, I was named after the current state of our country, igknorantzrulz
I do remember you.
I get very sarcastic and then often delete what I considered posting because others do not often share my appreciation for scathing sarcasm and satire.
whats that...
I prefer your old Avatar
My hipster Ariel avatar?
yep, that's how I recall you
as
am amphibious librarian, and I sort of pictured you SHHHHHSHHHSHHHHSHHHHing me often
just my no faulty memory I guess
I've used many different avatars in online forums.
I traditionally use a grinch at Xmas but I forgot to change it.
I'm using this avatar in another forum now,
I love the concept of an amphibious librarian. SSSSSh'ing people.
hey, we all have expectations about people on the anonymous spider net web
Good to have you here!
thank you Sandy
aren't you a Newsvine refugee as well ?
I am.
well it s good to hear and read you again and I'm very sorry
you can't say the same but is your avatar ?
the same
It's the same cat, just in a different pose. In my NV avatar, he was laying on his back all twisted up like a pretzel. Cobalt asked if he gave yoga lessons
CobaltBlue I liked her, but moi' and ole Queen B JennCelli tended to butt heads a tad
didn't I see they were members here somewhere or other >?
I've seen CB's avatar, but I've never seen her comment. I haven't seen Jen Celli here, but I'm friends with her on Facebook.
I just joined this site Friday as well as Minds I saw Cobalt for sure somewhere
was never exactly chummy , but believe ole Jenn wouldn't allow the SIN a stirs, to ever accept me, and you know me, that's what I'm here for G Damn Exceptance !
I'm sorry you felt that way. I never really had a problem with Jenn.
I'm on Minds.com, too, but good grief the amount of white supremacist crap there is insane. I think I spent two weeks blocking the worst of it, and then I was left with boosted material over and over again. I drop in sometimes, but not very often.
I tend to have a slight problem with authority, and authority figures, though I do find Perrieto be fair.
we're both gonna be introuble if we keep gossipin here
Bannons guilty damnet !
Trumps Guilty as well Impeach E Keen
Interesting, John.
Someone that you have no respect for and have never believed a word he said is testifying against a person that you have no respect for and have never believed a word he said.
I'm looking forward to seeing what you decide to cull from that testimony.
Someone else who doesn't understand what a grand jury does.
Bannon will be under oath, he will not know what Mueller already knows, so if he lies about something odds are Mueller will know then it's off to jail for Bannon.
Trump on the other hand has never testified under oath about this yet, odds are that if he does, he will be looking at perjury charges since he is not smart enough to do anything but lie.
And if the House staffers questioning him today do their job, the transcript can be used to show that he has already talked about the event or that he is either lying to the FBI or lied to the Congress.
Good times....good times
Could always pull a "Susan McDougal"
Then get a Pardon...............
do you think Bannon is loyal enough to go to jail for someone he describes as a child ?
I think not
by the way, big Skynyrd fan here as well
And you dont think that McDougal wasnt "Compensated" for her time?
they supplied her with Metamucil ?
of course she was, by someone
Bannon is a multi millionaire without the "convictions' so to speak, of a McDougal, who actually had respect for those she most likely was protecting I've stated many many times, no fan of Hillary just less a fan of Trump
Lynyrd Skynyrd 'Junkie' is one of my favorites
Queen, RUSH top my favorites.
Did you ever see his Barcelona video? Amazing stuff. Freddy was the real deal, no doubt of it.
Are you looking forward to his life story coming out? The actor who plays Mr Robot is doing him.
No doubt there..........
Though he really never got "Credit" for it Roy Orbison had an outstanding voice.
Saw Queen live twice, a show you will never forget!
Speaking of which, Ol Joe Assholepaio is surprised to learn that his acceptance of the Shitbag's pardon is admission of guilt. Stupidity is once again shown to be a pre-requisite for any rethuglican office holder, candidate and above all president.
Hmm could that also be why Susan McDougal was Pardoned?
Someone who is pardoned can no longer plead the 5th because they are no longer in danger of self incrimination.
Insert hilarious laughter emoji.
Per the New York Times,
"Mr. Bannon has limited firsthand knowledge about two key issues within Mr. Mueller’s purview — the president’s firing of James B. Comey as F.B.I. director, a decision made without Mr. Bannon present, and the drafting of a misleading statement about the subject of the June 2016 meeting with Russians, in which they promised damaging information about Hillary Clinton."
Nothing about collusion, again.....
how about obstruction or the Hatch act ?
Trump just lied through his teeth at a woman's event, bet you many won't hang out for the post meat and grab
how about obstruction or the Hatch act
Investigate him first and worry about probable cause later..
is that the Hillary approach ?
Do you seriously think that our legal system requires probable cause BEFORE they investigate?
Right. It's obstruction of justice -- a much more solid charge to both try and convict than collusion.
Well, it's better than the imaginary "Trump colluded with the Russians" lie the left has been peddling for a year, at least.
You do realize Mueller and the majority of the FBI investigating any Collusion possibilities are Republicans who have guilty pleas by two of Trumps administration, one being the former National Security Advisor, correct ? Two others will be going to court over your so called 'lie' as well. Sessions, the Attorney General was caught lying about any meetings with Russians, and was forced to recluse himself. Jared Kushner is required to update his lying about Russia meetings on a bi-monthly basis. Trumps' son , Manafort his former Campaign manager, Kushner, and another who escapes my mind, met with half a dozen Russians in Trump Tower to get Dirt on Trumps' then opponent Hillary Clinton.
What did I lie about here. Please, do correct me I thank U in advance
How do you know it's a lie?
yea, but Trump said NO ONE from his Administration had met with Russians
so that paltry list is obviously
'Fake News'
Here is the problem these people are going to have. Mueller has 400,000 emails from everyone in trumps admin from the last 18 months. If people like Bannon lie, and Mueller has proof of it in one of Bannon's emails...He's screwed. Same with all these people's interviews. Lying to a grand jury is not a good idea.
