House Republican Invents Bonkers Reason Steve Bannon Should Go Free

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Republicans in Congress are desperately trying to save Steve Bannon from prison—and they’re coming up with some insane legal theories in the process.

Representative Barry Loudermilk filed a brief with the Supreme Court Wednesday not only asking them to throw out Bannon’s contempt of Congress case but also adopting the standard that if any witness in a congressional investigation thinks a subpoena isn’t valid, they can ignore it.

It’s a crazy thing to push in a legal filing, and it completely ignores the facts of Bannon’s case: He didn’t make any such legal arguments until after he had flouted the subpoena against him. Subpoenas are meant to compel someone to come to court and testify. The idea that a witness should be allowed to ignore one would defeat their entire purpose.

Loudermilk’s filing didn’t even come from House lawyers, but rather outside counsel: Stephen Miller’s America First Legal firm, to be exact.

The Repug House is disgracing themselves. But that is, sadly, nothing new.

3. Stephen Miller isn't a lawyer.

Here's an article explaining the origin and various workings of First Legal:

This is the group that wanted to argue before Aileen Cannon, which she denied. They do have lawyers on staff. I guess they're using the Congress Critter to advance their cause.

Add: I was able to read the entire article, but I see now that it is blocked. So, here's an alternate article:
