Judge on Steve Bannon trial: 'We can't keep dragging this out'

Bannon is charged with defrauding donors to We Build the Wall.

Steve Bannon, a former adviser to Donald Trump, appeared in court Tuesday with a new crop of lawyers who promptly decried the "explosion" of evidence disclosures from the Manhattan District Attorney's Office and asked for additional time to review them.

The judge granted a 90-day reprieve and ordered Bannon to return to court May 25, citing a need to "move the case along" after Bannon's arraignment five months ago.

"Other than discovery being turned over, nothing has happened. Part of that is of Mr. Bannon's own doing," Judge Juan Merchan said. "We can't just keep dragging this out."



The judge, however, chided prosecutors over the true volume of discovery and the pace of its disclosure to the defense...........................

3. Trust the system, everybody!

This is true JUSTICE! Anything different would be chaos and mob rule!



PS: Isn't this fucker supposed to already be in jail for a fucking transparent contempt of Congress charge?

4. Ugh. If you or I stole millions...

This feels like Groundhogs Day. Nothing ever actually gets to the finish line.

The cell doors never actually lock.

5. It's even more than just dragging it out,

the arrogant bastard flat out said that he's not going to jail.

Say what you want about Steve Bannon but I believe he was higher up in the insurrection than people realize.
