Steve Bannon's guilty verdict for misdemeanor contempt of Congress was probably less important than the developments in several other January 6 misdemeanor cases last week.

This post is dedicated to content and comments related to Day 8 of the House J6 Committee's public hearings — the last before August in-district break, scheduled for prime time television viewing.

If you want to panic about charges relating to January 6 that DOJ's election guidance might prevent, then panic about Doug Mastriano, who poses a more imminent threat to democracy.

A running timeline of the DOJ investigation into Trump's closest associates.

Back in 2018, Joshua Schulte allegedly wanted to encourage a global cyberattack using his stolen CIA hacking tools from prison. That's why some of his behavior associated with the trial alarms me.

At least a dozen January 6 defendants attributed their decision to go to the Capitol -- and in at least one case, to get angry enough to join the attack in the Tunnel -- to Trump's claim he would join his supporters walking to the Capitol. As Stephanie Murphy explained, that line was ad-libbed.

Yet another post noting that Cassidy Hutchinson's testimony is incredible valuable -- but for a prosecution of Donald Trump, its use thus far would be in securing the cooperation of witnesses who more directly interacted with Trump.

Steve Bannon needed to have more than thirty seconds of press coverage associated with the January 6 Committee in a bid to delay his trial. And multiple outlets obliged him by covering his stunt.

Some anonymous sources close to Donald Trump got the WaPo to repeat a bunch of false claims so as to float something that has not happened as news.
