On Friday, political strategist Steve Bannon, a former aide to Donald Trump who was not part of Trump's staff during the Capitol riots nearly 19 months ago, was convicted on two counts of contempt of Congress. At first, Bannon and his moronic lawyers decided, predictably, to file an appeal. That itself is a waste of time.
Of course, Bannon went on Fox Shmooze later that night, defiant as ever. Meanwhile, attorney Evan Corcoran, a graduate of the Dewey, Cheatham, & Howe Law School, is trying to claim that maybe, just maybe, Bannon should've testified in his own defense, ignorant of the fact that Bannon, now a right wing podcaster, was celebrating his defiance, as Yahoo! puts it, on social media.
If you're fishing for sympathy, Corcoran, you're wasting your time, just like wasting time filing an appeal that is going nowhere. You tried to gaslight the jury into thinking 1/6 Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson didn't sign documents on this case. That didn't work. You know you've got a losing battle, so just give up.
And, soon, there will be more, as the wall of support surrounding the former president crumbles.
