Did anyone see that under oath in the Dominion case Hannity said he never believed a word of his own reporting on rigged voting machines?
Does that surprise you?
Lol that he admitted it absolutely. Nobody could prove otherwise. He must have been real scared of losing all that money.
Under oath, with the potential of perjury, and potentially spending 10 days in jail? With the “other?” Damn right he was scat. “Looking mighty fine in those jeans, boy!”
If I was a scum bag and I was under oath, I would just lie and say yes absolutely I believed it. Seriously I would lie all day if nothing could be proved. I don't think they can pry into your mind to find out what you believe yet. Someone must have had him on tape talking shit about it, or he isn't as big of a scum bag as we think he is and actually has some respect for the court system.

What the Jan. 6 probe found out about social media, but didn’t report By Cat Zakrzewski, Cristiano Lima and Drew Harwell January 17, 2023 at 6:00 ET The Jan. 6 committee spent months gathering stunning new details on how social media companies failed to address the online extremism and calls for violence that preceded the Capitol riot. The evidence they collected was written up in a 122-page memo that was circulated among the committee, according to a draft viewed by The Washington Post. But in the end, committee leaders declined to delve into those topics in detail in their final report, reluctant to dig into the roots of domestic extremism taking hold in the Republican Party beyond former president Donald Trump and concerned about the risks of a public battle with powerful tech companies, according to three people familiar with the matter who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the panel’s sensitive deliberations. Congressional investigators found evidence that tech platforms — especially Twitter — failed to heed their own employees’ warnings about violent rhetoric on their platforms and bent their rules to avoid penalizing conservatives, particularly then-president Trump, out of fear of reprisals. The draft report details how most platforms did not take “dramatic” steps to rein in extremist content until after the attack on the Capitol, despite clear red flags across the internet. “The sum of this is that alt-tech, fringe, and mainstream platforms were exploited in tandem by right-wing activists to bring American democracy to the brink of ruin,” the staffers wrote in their memo. “These platforms enabled the mobilization of extremists on smaller sites and whipped up conservative grievance on larger, more mainstream ones.”

So much for there not being any weapons at the Capitol. Sure, a "peaceful tourist visit." Sure. And somebody on here wants to talk about respecting the police? Sure. Oh, and once again, a whole lot of responsibility going on, as it relates to possession of firearms. What a country. Page(s) 640-642.
The Secret Service set up magnetometers to screen for weapons and
other contraband, but many rally-goers chose to avoid the screening altogether.
At 6:29 a.m., Stewart Rhodes, the leader of the Oath Keepers, reminded
his group’s members that DC prohibited blades over “3 inches” and
encouraged them to “[k]eep [the knives] low profile.”9 Others were thinking along the same lines. At 7:25 a.m., the National Park Service reported
that a significant number of attendees ditched their bags in trees, rather
than have them inspected.10 Cassidy Hutchinson told the Select Committee
she heard that thousands of people refused to walk through magnetometers
to enter the Ellipse because they did not want to be screened for weapons.11
According to Hutchinson, the Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations whose
responsibilities included security-related issues, Tony Ornato, told the
President that the onlookers “don’t want to come in right now. They—they
have weapons that they don’t want confiscated by the Secret Service.”12
When he arrived at the Ellipse that morning, President Trump angrily said:
“I don’t [fucking] care that they have weapons. They’re not here to hurt me. They can march to the Capitol from here.”13
Approximately 28,000 rally-goers did pass through the magnetometers.
The Secret Service confiscated a significant number of prohibited items
from these people, including: 269 knives or blades, 242 cannisters of pepper spray, 18 brass knuckles, 18 tasers, 6 pieces of body armor, 3 gas masks,
30 batons or blunt instruments, and 17 miscellaneous items like scissors,
needles, or screwdrivers.14
At 8:07 a.m., Secret Service countersurveillance agents reported that
“members of the crowd are wearing ballistic helmets, body armor and carrying radio equipment and military grade backpacks.”15 By 9:45 a.m., the
Secret Service noted people openly carrying pepper spray as they strolled
the streets.16
President Trump’s mob was itching for a fight. National Park Service
officers arrested a man who had entered the restricted area around the
Washington Monument. Immediately, about 100 people started forming a
circle around the officer, “threaten[ing] law enforcement,” as the officer
later recounted.17 The officer retreated into the Washington Monument
with the man in custody.18 The crowd responded angrily, punching the
Monument’s glass windows and continuing to threaten officers.19 Law
enforcement around the Washington Monument felt so unsafe that they
“locked themselves in a security box by the mall.”20 Rioters nevertheless
“scaled the sides of the security box and climbed on top of the structure.”21
It was a harbinger of things to come.
MPD monitored and responded to a stream of threats that morning.
Three men in fatigues from Broward County, Florida brandished AR-15s in front of MPD officers on 14th Street and Independence Avenue.22 MPD
advised over the radio that one individual was possibly armed with a
“Glock” at Fourteenth Street and Constitution Avenue, and another was
possibly armed with a “rifle” at Fifteenth Street and Constitution Avenue
around 11:23 a.m.23 The National Park Service detained an individual with a
rifle between 12:00 and 1:00 p.m.24
Far-right extremists brought guns into Washington or the surrounding
area. Christopher Kuehne, a member of the Proud Boys, met up with friends
on January 5th to discuss their plans for the following day. One person in
attendance said he did not travel to Washington just to “march around”
and asked, “do we have patriots here willing to take it by force?”25 Kuehne
told them he had guns, and he was ready to go.26 During the attack, Kuehne
helped prop open Capitol blast doors as besieged law enforcement retreated
inside.27 Guy Reffitt, a Three Percenter from Texas, attended the rally at the
Ellipse, and then carried a loaded firearm onto Capitol grounds.28 Jerod
Thomas Bargar lost his gun—that he’d carried from the Ellipse in a ‘We the
People’ holster29—while scuffling with police on the west side of the Capitol around 2:30 p.m.30 Bargar wanted to be armed, he said, when he went
into the “belly of the beast.”31
Mark Andre Mazza drove from Indiana, bringing a Taurus revolver, a
.45-caliber weapon that he loaded with both shotgun and hollow-point
rounds.32 After assaulting a police officer, he lost the weapon,33 dropping it
or losing it on the steps of the lower West Plaza leading to the Capitol’s
West Front Terrace.34 The Select Committee reviewed Mazza’s social media
accounts before they were taken down, finding that he shared multiple
conspiracy theories, including QAnon material.35 Mazza later indicated that
he intended to target House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, telling authorities that
“you’d be here for another reason” if he had found the Speaker inside the
Capitol.36
Lonnie Leroy Coffman from Falkville, Alabama, parked by the Capitol
building before walking nearly 2 miles to the Ellipse to hear the President
speak.37 In his car, he had stocked a handgun, a rifle, a shotgun, hundreds
of rounds of ammunition, large-capacity ammunition-feeding devices,
machetes, camouflage smoke devices, a bow and arrow, and 11 Mason jars
filled with gasoline and styrofoam, as well as rags and a lighter (tools
needed to make Molotov cocktails).38 Police found two more handguns on
Coffman when he was arrested later that day.39
Many in attendance were aware of Washington’s prohibition on carrying a concealed weapon and made plans accordingly. The Oath Keepers left
their guns stowed away in their cars or across State lines for easy access
should they be needed.40 The group staged a “quick reaction force” across the river in Virginia, amassing an arsenal to come to DC “by land” or “by
sea,” as Florida State-chapter lead—and defendant convicted of seditious
conspiracy—Kelly Meggs said.41Oath Keeper Jason Dolan testified at the
seditious conspiracy trial that the “quick reaction force [was] ready to go
get our firearms in order to stop the election from being certified within
Congress.”42 Dolan further testified that the Oath Keepers came to
Washington, DC “to stop the certification of the election. . . . [b]y any means
necessary. That’s why we brought our firearms.”43
Garret Miller—a January 6th defendant who traveled from Richardson,
Texas—posted on Facebook that “he was bringing guns with him but
‘might just keep 1 hidden one and store the rest in Virginia’” after learning
about the DC law.44 He also threatened to assassinate Congresswoman
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and predicted a “civil war could start.”45
Many members of the crowd decided against bringing firearms into the
nation’s capital, and armed themselves in other ways. Alex Kirk Harkrider
from Carthage, Texas, and his co-defendant, Ryan Nichols, left guns in a
parked car just outside the district before attending the rally.46 Harkrider
still brought a tomahawk axe.47 During the march to the Capitol, he yelled
“[c]ut their fucking heads off!”48 One rioter told the Select Committee he
saw another carrying a “pitchfork.”49

Bannon gets 4 months behind bars for defying 1/6 subpoena
By LINDSAY WHITEHURST
21 Oct 2022
WASHINGTON (AP) — Steve Bannon, a longtime ally of former President Donald Trump, was sentenced Friday to serve four months behind bars after defying a subpoena from the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.
U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols allowed Bannon to stay free pending appeal, a potentially lengthy process, and also imposed a fine of $6,500 as part of the sentence. Bannon was convicted in July of two counts of contempt of Congress: one for refusing to sit for a deposition and the other for refusing to provide documents.
Nichols handed down the sentence after saying the law was clear that contempt of Congress is subject to a mandatory minimum sentence of at least one month behind bars. Bannon’s lawyers had argued the judge could’ve sentenced him to probation instead. Prosecutors had asked for Bannon to be sent to jail for six months.
“In my view, Mr. Bannon has not taken responsibility for his actions,” Nichols said before he imposed the sentence. “Others must be deterred from committing similar crimes.”
The House panel had sought Bannon’s testimony over his involvement in Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election. Bannon has yet to testify or provide any documents to the committee.
Prosecutors argued Bannon, 68, deserved the longer sentence because he had pursued a “bad faith strategy” and his public statements disparaging the committee itself made it clear he wanted to undermine their effort to get to the bottom of the violent attack and keep anything like it from happening again.
“He chose to hide behind fabricated claims of executive privilege and advice of counsel to thumb his nose at Congress,” said prosecutor J.P. Cooney.
“Your honor, the defendant is not above the law and that is exactly what makes this case important,” Cooney said. “It must be made clear to the public, to the citizens, that no one is above the law.”
The defense, meanwhile, said he wasn’t acting in bad faith, but trying to avoid running afoul of executive privilege objections Trump had raised when Bannon was first served with a committee subpoena last year. The onetime presidential adviser said he wanted to have a Trump lawyer in the room, but the committee wouldn’t allow it.
In imposing the sentence, the judge noted that Bannon did have a lawyer, and while his advice might have been “overly aggressive” he did appear to be following it.
“Mr. Bannon did not completely ignore the fact he had received the subpoena nor did he fail to engage with the committee at all,” Nichols said.
Many other former White House aides have testified with only their own counsel. Bannon had been fired from the White House in 2017 and was a private citizen when he was consulting with the then-president before the riot.
Before the judge handed down the sentence, Bannon’s lawyer, David Schoen, gave an impassioned argument railing against the committee and saying Bannon had simply done was his lawyer told him to do under Trump’s executive privilege objections.
“Quite frankly, Mr. Bannon should make no apology. No American should make any apology for the manner in which Mr. Bannon proceeded in this case,” he said.
Schoen also defended Bannon’s public remarks about the committee: “Telling the truth about this committee or speaking one’s mind about this committee, it’s not only acceptable in this country, it's an obligation if one believes it to be true,” Schoen said.
As he walked into court on Friday, Bannon told reporters, “This illegitimate regime, their judgment day is on 8 November when the Biden administration ends.” Bannon did not speak during the hearing, saying only, “My lawyers have spoken for me, your honor.”
Leaving the courthouse after the sentencing, Bannon said he believed Attorney General Merrick Garland would be impeached.
When President Joe Biden, for his part, was asked about the sentence as he left the White House he said: “I never have a reaction to Steve Bannon.”
Prosecutors had pushed for the maximum fine, saying Bannon refused to answer routine questions about his income and insisted he could pay whatever the judge imposed. The judge, though, found the short answers were an effort to spare court staff a lengthy effort of tracing Bannon's finances and imposed a smaller fine.
Bannon has also argued that he had offered to testify after Trump waived executive privilege. But that was after the contempt charges were filed, and prosecutors say he would only agree to give the deposition if the case was dropped.
Bannon is also facing separate money laundering, fraud and conspiracy charges in New York related to the “We Build the Wall” campaign. Bannon has pleaded not guilty.
Prosecutors say Bannon falsely promised donors that all money would go to constructing a wall at the U.S.-Mexico border, but instead was involved with transferring hundreds of thousands of dollars to third-party entities and using them to funnel payments to two other people involved in the scheme.

The Jan. 6 committee spent months gathering stunning new details on how social media companies failed to address the online extremism and calls for violence that preceded the Capitol riot.
The evidence they collected was written up in a 122-page memo that was circulated among the committee, according to a draft viewed by The Washington Post. But in the end, committee leaders declined to delve into those topics in detail in their final report, reluctant to dig into the roots of domestic extremism taking hold in the Republican Party beyond former president Donald Trump and concerned about the risks of a public battle with powerful tech companies, according to three people familiar with the matter who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the panel’s sensitive deliberations.
Congressional investigators found evidence that tech platforms — especially Twitter — failed to heed their own employees’ warnings about violent rhetoric on their platforms and bent their rules to avoid penalizing conservatives, particularly then-president Trump, out of fear of reprisals. The draft report details how most platforms did not take “dramatic” steps to rein in extremist content until after the attack on the Capitol, despite clear red flags across the internet.
“The sum of this is that alt-tech, fringe, and mainstream platforms were exploited in tandem by right-wing activists to bring American democracy to the brink of ruin,” the staffers wrote in their memo. “These platforms enabled the mobilization of extremists on smaller sites and whipped up conservative grievance on larger, more mainstream ones.”

"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
The Secret Service set up magnetometers to screen for weapons and other contraband, but many rally-goers chose to avoid the screening altogether.
At 6:29 a.m., Stewart Rhodes, the leader of the Oath Keepers, reminded his group’s members that DC prohibited blades over “3 inches” and encouraged them to “[k]eep [the knives] low profile.”9 Others were thinking along the same lines. At 7:25 a.m., the National Park Service reported that a significant number of attendees ditched their bags in trees, rather than have them inspected.10 Cassidy Hutchinson told the Select Committee she heard that thousands of people refused to walk through magnetometers to enter the Ellipse because they did not want to be screened for weapons.11 According to Hutchinson, the Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations whose responsibilities included security-related issues, Tony Ornato, told the President that the onlookers “don’t want to come in right now. They—they have weapons that they don’t want confiscated by the Secret Service.”12 When he arrived at the Ellipse that morning, President Trump angrily said: “I don’t [fucking] care that they have weapons. They’re not here to hurt me. They can march to the Capitol from here.”13
Approximately 28,000 rally-goers did pass through the magnetometers. The Secret Service confiscated a significant number of prohibited items from these people, including: 269 knives or blades, 242 cannisters of pepper spray, 18 brass knuckles, 18 tasers, 6 pieces of body armor, 3 gas masks, 30 batons or blunt instruments, and 17 miscellaneous items like scissors, needles, or screwdrivers.14
At 8:07 a.m., Secret Service countersurveillance agents reported that “members of the crowd are wearing ballistic helmets, body armor and carrying radio equipment and military grade backpacks.”15 By 9:45 a.m., the Secret Service noted people openly carrying pepper spray as they strolled the streets.16
President Trump’s mob was itching for a fight. National Park Service officers arrested a man who had entered the restricted area around the Washington Monument. Immediately, about 100 people started forming a circle around the officer, “threaten[ing] law enforcement,” as the officer later recounted.17 The officer retreated into the Washington Monument with the man in custody.18 The crowd responded angrily, punching the Monument’s glass windows and continuing to threaten officers.19 Law enforcement around the Washington Monument felt so unsafe that they “locked themselves in a security box by the mall.”20 Rioters nevertheless “scaled the sides of the security box and climbed on top of the structure.”21 It was a harbinger of things to come.
MPD monitored and responded to a stream of threats that morning. Three men in fatigues from Broward County, Florida brandished AR-15s in front of MPD officers on 14th Street and Independence Avenue.22 MPD advised over the radio that one individual was possibly armed with a “Glock” at Fourteenth Street and Constitution Avenue, and another was possibly armed with a “rifle” at Fifteenth Street and Constitution Avenue around 11:23 a.m.23 The National Park Service detained an individual with a rifle between 12:00 and 1:00 p.m.24
Far-right extremists brought guns into Washington or the surrounding area. Christopher Kuehne, a member of the Proud Boys, met up with friends on January 5th to discuss their plans for the following day. One person in attendance said he did not travel to Washington just to “march around” and asked, “do we have patriots here willing to take it by force?”25 Kuehne told them he had guns, and he was ready to go.26 During the attack, Kuehne helped prop open Capitol blast doors as besieged law enforcement retreated inside.27 Guy Reffitt, a Three Percenter from Texas, attended the rally at the Ellipse, and then carried a loaded firearm onto Capitol grounds.28 Jerod Thomas Bargar lost his gun—that he’d carried from the Ellipse in a ‘We the People’ holster29—while scuffling with police on the west side of the Capitol around 2:30 p.m.30 Bargar wanted to be armed, he said, when he went into the “belly of the beast.”31
Mark Andre Mazza drove from Indiana, bringing a Taurus revolver, a .45-caliber weapon that he loaded with both shotgun and hollow-point rounds.32 After assaulting a police officer, he lost the weapon,33 dropping it or losing it on the steps of the lower West Plaza leading to the Capitol’s West Front Terrace.34 The Select Committee reviewed Mazza’s social media accounts before they were taken down, finding that he shared multiple conspiracy theories, including QAnon material.35 Mazza later indicated that he intended to target House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, telling authorities that “you’d be here for another reason” if he had found the Speaker inside the Capitol.36
Lonnie Leroy Coffman from Falkville, Alabama, parked by the Capitol building before walking nearly 2 miles to the Ellipse to hear the President speak.37 In his car, he had stocked a handgun, a rifle, a shotgun, hundreds of rounds of ammunition, large-capacity ammunition-feeding devices, machetes, camouflage smoke devices, a bow and arrow, and 11 Mason jars filled with gasoline and styrofoam, as well as rags and a lighter (tools needed to make Molotov cocktails).38 Police found two more handguns on Coffman when he was arrested later that day.39 Many in attendance were aware of Washington’s prohibition on carrying a concealed weapon and made plans accordingly. The Oath Keepers left their guns stowed away in their cars or across State lines for easy access should they be needed.40 The group staged a “quick reaction force” across the river in Virginia, amassing an arsenal to come to DC “by land” or “by sea,” as Florida State-chapter lead—and defendant convicted of seditious conspiracy—Kelly Meggs said.41 Oath Keeper Jason Dolan testified at the seditious conspiracy trial that the “quick reaction force [was] ready to go get our firearms in order to stop the election from being certified within Congress.”42 Dolan further testified that the Oath Keepers came to Washington, DC “to stop the certification of the election. . . . [b]y any means necessary. That’s why we brought our firearms.”43
Garret Miller—a January 6th defendant who traveled from Richardson, Texas—posted on Facebook that “he was bringing guns with him but ‘might just keep 1 hidden one and store the rest in Virginia’” after learning about the DC law.44 He also threatened to assassinate Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and predicted a “civil war could start.”45 Many members of the crowd decided against bringing firearms into the nation’s capital, and armed themselves in other ways. Alex Kirk Harkrider from Carthage, Texas, and his co-defendant, Ryan Nichols, left guns in a parked car just outside the district before attending the rally.46 Harkrider still brought a tomahawk axe.47 During the march to the Capitol, he yelled “[c]ut their fucking heads off!”48 One rioter told the Select Committee he saw another carrying a “pitchfork.”49

While Wren originally expected Jones, Roger Stone, and retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn to march to the Capitol, Stone did not attend the Ellipse rally and so he was not present to accompany Jones on the march as planned.113 Additionally, while President Trump was delivering his speech, Wren asked Flynn if he was going to march with Jones. Flynn responded, “Hell, no. It’s freezing.”114

WASHINGTON (AP) — Steve Bannon, a longtime ally of former President Donald Trump, was sentenced Friday to serve four months behind bars after defying a subpoena from the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.
U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols allowed Bannon to stay free pending appeal, a potentially lengthy process, and also imposed a fine of $6,500 as part of the sentence. Bannon was convicted in July of two counts of contempt of Congress: one for refusing to sit for a deposition and the other for refusing to provide documents.
Nichols handed down the sentence after saying the law was clear that contempt of Congress is subject to a mandatory minimum sentence of at least one month behind bars. Bannon’s lawyers had argued the judge could’ve sentenced him to probation instead. Prosecutors had asked for Bannon to be sent to jail for six months.
“In my view, Mr. Bannon has not taken responsibility for his actions,” Nichols said before he imposed the sentence. “Others must be deterred from committing similar crimes.”
The House panel had sought Bannon’s testimony over his involvement in Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election. Bannon has yet to testify or provide any documents to the committee.
CAPITOL SIEGE

Defense rests at sedition trial for Proud Boys leaders

Prosecutors argued Bannon, 68, deserved the longer sentence because he had pursued a “bad faith strategy” and his public statements disparaging the committee itself made it clear he wanted to undermine their effort to get to the bottom of the violent attack and keep anything like it from happening again.
“He chose to hide behind fabricated claims of executive privilege and advice of counsel to thumb his nose at Congress,” said prosecutor J.P. Cooney.
“Your honor, the defendant is not above the law and that is exactly what makes this case important,” Cooney said. “It must be made clear to the public, to the citizens, that no one is above the law.”
The defense, meanwhile, said he wasn’t acting in bad faith, but trying to avoid running afoul of executive privilege objections Trump had raised when Bannon was first served with a committee subpoena last year. The onetime presidential adviser said he wanted to have a Trump lawyer in the room, but the committee wouldn’t allow it.
In imposing the sentence, the judge noted that Bannon did have a lawyer, and while his advice might have been “overly aggressive” he did appear to be following it.
“Mr. Bannon did not completely ignore the fact he had received the subpoena nor did he fail to engage with the committee at all,” Nichols said.
Many other former White House aides have testified with only their own counsel. Bannon had been fired from the White House in 2017 and was a private citizen when he was consulting with the then-president before the riot.
Before the judge handed down the sentence, Bannon’s lawyer, David Schoen, gave an impassioned argument railing against the committee and saying Bannon had simply done was his lawyer told him to do under Trump’s executive privilege objections.
“Quite frankly, Mr. Bannon should make no apology. No American should make any apology for the manner in which Mr. Bannon proceeded in this case,” he said.
Schoen also defended Bannon’s public remarks about the committee: “Telling the truth about this committee or speaking one’s mind about this committee, it’s not only acceptable in this country, it's an obligation if one believes it to be true,” Schoen said.
As he walked into court on Friday, Bannon told reporters, “This illegitimate regime, their judgment day is on 8 November when the Biden administration ends.” Bannon did not speak during the hearing, saying only, “My lawyers have spoken for me, your honor.”
Leaving the courthouse after the sentencing, Bannon said he believed Attorney General Merrick Garland would be impeached.
When President Joe Biden, for his part, was asked about the sentence as he left the White House he said: “I never have a reaction to Steve Bannon.”
Prosecutors had pushed for the maximum fine, saying Bannon refused to answer routine questions about his income and insisted he could pay whatever the judge imposed. The judge, though, found the short answers were an effort to spare court staff a lengthy effort of tracing Bannon's finances and imposed a smaller fine.
Bannon has also argued that he had offered to testify after Trump waived executive privilege. But that was after the contempt charges were filed, and prosecutors say he would only agree to give the deposition if the case was dropped.
Bannon is also facing separate money laundering, fraud and conspiracy charges in New York related to the “We Build the Wall” campaign. Bannon has pleaded not guilty.
Prosecutors say Bannon falsely promised donors that all money would go to constructing a wall at the U.S.-Mexico border, but instead was involved with transferring hundreds of thousands of dollars to third-party entities and using them to funnel payments to two other people involved in the scheme.
