And true to form, Bannon merely unleashed his incoherent rage in bursts of insults and nonsense. After disingenuously <em>&#8220;thanking&#8221;<\/em> the jury that convicted him for <em>&#8220;whatever they did,&#8221;<\/em> Bannon babbled&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I only have one disappointment.

Who wants to tell Bannon that the members of the House Select Committee investigating the insurrection that Trump incited, had no obligation to appear before that court? They had no relevant testimony to contribute. They weren&#8217;t even asked to show up. The crime that Bannon was charged with was his failure to comply with a lawful subpoena. The evidence of that was obvious and undisputed. Bannon even bragged about it.<\/p>\n<p>Bannon is actually lucky that Committee members weren&#8217;t witnesses at his trial. It would only have made things worse for him as they could have supplied more testimony and documentation of his obvious guilt. And yet, he somehow believes that their absence is his sole disappointment? Yeah, right.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, Bannon&#8217;s hysterical post-verdict venting was a display of Olympic-grade hypocrisy. It was, after all, Bannon who <em>&#8220;didn&#8217;t have the guts&#8221;<\/em> to <em>&#8220;testify in open court&#8221;<\/em> at his own trial. Nor did he have the guts to testify before the January 6th Committee in support of his almighty messiah Trump. Why is that all of Trump&#8217;s most devoted disciples have been too scared to take the oath and tell the truth about him? Which Trump has whined about, despite being the reason for it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=53329\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Crybaby Trump Slams the January 6th Committee For Nixing His Witnesses \u2013 Who Refused to Testify<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It was Trump who pretended that he could grant executive privilege to potential witnesses so that they would not have to testify. But why would anyone want to prevent testimony from those who they allegedly believed would exonerate them? Even so, Trump eventually released Bannon from that imaginary constraint by waiving the privilege that he didn&#8217;t have to begin with. And Bannon still refused to comply with the subpoenas.
