Once again, it is not a good day to be a member of Team Trump.
1)
Steve Bannon faces legal issues as we all know. He's due to be dragged before Congress, either to testify or face contempt charges, his choice. Which is probably why he just took a loan on a $1.5 million estate linked to one of his nonprofits. Yes, Bannon has a nonprofit that at once point had a $1.5 million house attached to it, it was legal, go figure. No, not the nonprofit he was arrested for defrauding, a different one. This is one where he works with China. Er, kind of, he apparently left...look, it all makes no sense but it's in the article, Bannon at one point had an estate he took a loan against.
Had.
Bannon sougth the loan with a property he no longer owns. The estate was sold off Nov 2020 for a loss and...like I said, the whole thing makes no sense.
This is just a loan application of course. The loan could be denied for any number of reasons, from "you don't own the collateral" to "you're an insurrectionist and going to jail".
2)
Tucker Carlson and FOX News discuss Viagra as a COVID treatment.
No, really.
To be fair, we at least know it's not horse dewormer or bleach. But he discussed the story based on a nurse doing a study on one patient. Hey, at this point America is looking hard for a cure, but if you look for a cure longer than four hours, you might need a vaccine.
3)
Newsweek also reports how Trump spent his Jan 6th. He spent some of it golfing with Graham -- how appropriate, the guy who cheats on all his wives golfing with the guy whose wife I'm banging in the shower -- and then watching Biden's speech. Newsweek uses the term "fuming".
-- a source close to Trump
-- Breccia
4)
Dustin Thompson and his lawyers are arguing in court that Wood, Giuliani, and Trump should all be subpoena'd in his case.
"Oh, is this either NY investigation into his fraud, or are they prosecutors in some other trial?"
Thompson is one of the murderous insurrectionists.
--the insurrectionist's lawyer filed this in court
I mean...it should work but won't. "So-and-so told me to do it" seems like a pretty good reason to bring someone to the stand...but Trump might literally rather die.
5) As I previously guessed,
Raw Story agrees that Pence wants to testify, but fears backlash. And of course by "backlash" I mean "killed by Trump supporters". Incidentally, their state of mind won't matter. They could be convinced Pence is a coniferous tree, and they'd still face murder charges. Of course, if they're that delusional to be berift of objective facts or context, they might plead insanity.
