Sure all this helps Bannon's "street cred" (and money raising).

Bannon could also be pulling an Oliver North - maneuver for a grant of immunity and then take the blame for everything.

But seeing someone actually prosecuted and jailed can motivate others with information not to withhold it.

on the livestream. That guy is peddling a book and looking for some significance now that his cash cow is out of office. He doesn't have much to offer either... not anything other than bashing a lot of people for profit that is. I've been skeptical of him from the start and nothing has persuaded me to think this guy is what he claims.
