bannon indicted, arrest warrant issued

[pecksniff]

It is when the Democrats are using it to force the public exposure of private conversations of a President of the United States.

Any privilege attached to that ended with Trump's term.

He was asserting that this was an illegal subpoena.

Now fuck off.

Careful, there may be speed bumps on the way to the restroom.

The SCOTUS has never ruled on that to my knowledge. Classified info is classified info until declassified.

Federal authorities released Steve Bannon on his own recognizance Monday afternoon
hours after he surrendered to face charges of contempt of Congress—though they
confiscated his passport and limited his ability to travel.

(Does Steve Bannon have a secret identity, and passports to match ?)

Wouldn't you?

They are more than just classified. Under what concept of law would Nancy Pelosi have to reveal her private conversations, or those of the SCOTUS?

He's getting his due process. And Bannon is not somebody you want to choose as a martyr -- that would do the RW cause no good at all.

If Pelosi were under investigation for some sort of malfeasance in office, any "private conversations" connected with her official duties would be discoverable.

She would never be under congressional investigation for anything regardless if guilt.

What, you think the Pubs will never control Congress again?

So what is the penalty for contempt of Congress and how many people have been imprisoned for it?

The House would determine that

The criminal offense of contempt of Congress sets the penalty at not less than one month nor more than twelve months in jail and a fine of not more than $100,000 or less than $100

Executive privilege

Executive privilege is the right of the president of the United States and other members of the executive branch to maintain confidential communications under certain circumstances within the executive branch and to resist some subpoenas and other oversight by the legislative and judicial branches of government in pursuit of particular information or personnel relating to those confidential communications. The right comes into effect when revealing information would impair governmental functions. Neither executive privilege nor the oversight power of Congress is explicitly mentioned in the United States Constitution. However, the Supreme Court of the United States has ruled that executive privilege and congressional oversight each are a consequence of the doctrine of the separation of powers, derived from the supremacy of each branch in its own area of Constitutional activity.

thnx, wiki, though there are plentiful sources that state the same thing

executive privilege is not there to protect a president–an individual–but the functioning of the government. how will t's attempts at invoking ex.priv protect the current administration and the 3 branches of government? *crickets*

Let's see how a claim of executive privilege works out when the executive was trying to conduct a coup against the United States. What happens is what happens. No Trumpette whining will change that.

Let's go Bannon.

Nothing will happen. Nothing ever does. The US is too corrupt.

I think the appropriate one is "Let's See Brannon"

There's that possibility, yes. Trump, in fact, is still running above the law. He should have been taken down decades ago.

That’s the difference this time. Shouldn’t be able to hide given 1/6.

It’s not going to happen like you think it’s going to happen. It’s going to be extraordinarily different. And all I can say is: Strap in. Let’s get ready.
