In reply to the discussion: Steve Bannon says he's willing to testify before January 6 committee after Trump waives claims of ex [View all]Tactical Peek
(1,207 posts)37. Bullshit waiver for a bullshit artist from a bullshit ex-president with bullshit for executive power
The recognized privilege of the executive resides with the executive, Joe Biden, not with some has-been, and Biden waived the executive privilege for this months ago. It was reported in the press, so you would think the press would know better than to be reporting this tripe from the former guy now as "waiving" anything - except his tiny little hands in the air beseeching attention and coverage.
Fuck this lying "coverage".

There's an error in the OP headline, "testify" is spelled incorrectly, it should be "lie"

He would take an oath when he testifies, so if he lies he faces perjury charges

Let's hope the J6 committee isn't dumb enough to grant Bannon any sort of immunity.

He will just plead the fifth. His trial is coming up, and he knew he could get up to a year in jail

I agree, private testimony first before deluxe lying sack plays head games with the public again?
