He just ran out of option not to….
Trump won’t try to cover him , he ain’t the President anymore….
He was looking at fines with a Congrssional contempt charge…
He’ll stop mouthing off and come in from the cold….
With his criminal trial for contempt of Congress approaching, Stephen K. Bannon, an ally of former President Donald J. Trump’s who was involved in his plans to overturn the 2020 election, has informed the House committee investigating the Capitol attack that he is now willing to testify, according to two letters obtained by The New York Times.
His decision is a remarkable about-face for Mr. Bannon, who until Saturday had been among the most obstinate and defiant of the committee’s potential witnesses. He had promised to turn the criminal case against him into the “misdemeanor from hell” for the Justice Department.
But with the possibility of two years in jail and large fines looming on the horizon, Mr. Bannon has been authorized to testify by Mr. Trump, his lawyer told the committee late on Saturday in a letter, which was reported earlier by The Guardian….
Let me preview his testimony…
Lie,Lies, and More Lies!
BINGO ‼️
But?
Ya get sworn in don’t ya?
FBI agent’s in attendance means ya get caught?
That’s are open/shit case

Nope
I’ve seen people lie themselves into trouble….
I assume in ur job it happens…..
The 5th?
Sure Bannon could cop it….
But u and I KNOW every question he’s asked?
The committee KNOWS the answer ALREADY….
The guy is an insurance asset…..
What do you think about a broad conspiracy try?
Easier burdens of proof and intent?
I still think his problem is the NY cases
The guy is on the hook for at least a half dozen other cases
I think Bannon will testify and tell the truth.
TRUTH?
If he does?
He’s lost a friend….
Bannon IS probably in Deep Shit…..
Steve Bannon’s Gambit Put Him in New Legal Jeopardy
“What started as a Steve Bannon public relations stunt may have just ended as a spectacular self-own,” the Daily Beast reports.
“After nine months of refusing to answer the House Jan. 6 Committee’s questions—and fighting off related criminal contempt charges in court—the right-wing provocateur is suddenly dangling an offer to finally testify. The gambit is supposed to make the Justice Department look bad. But doing so on the eve of trial risks having him incriminate himself before Congress, then get convicted the very next week.”
“Now Bannon is barreling toward a trial while dangling potential testimony before the congressional panel—a prime opportunity to perjure himself or explain why he broke the law—and lawyers say there’s practically nothing he can do that won’t land him in even more legal jeopardy.”
Again?
Bannon IS in deep shit…..
