Former Trump advisor Steve Bannon indicted on 2 counts by a federal grand jury for refusing to comply with House Jan 6th Committee
Things to know:
- The counts are both criminal misdemeanor (2 U.S. Code § 192 - Refusal of witness to testify or produce papers)
- Charges are in the DC District, but Bannon should have the opportunity to contest responding the contempt charges in local US District Court; most likely the Southern District of Florida (SDFL)
- These types of Contempt of Congress charges are usually brought as civil cases if brought at all, not criminal. This represents an egregious escalation and further weaponization of the Dept. of Justice to target political opponents.
- The House Select Committee only has the power to subpoena information pertinent to drafting new legislation. The Jan 6th is not an Investigative Commission. That proposal was rejected by Republicans back in May.
- Bannon is exerting Executive Privilege. The privilege belongs to President Trump and is his alone to waive. It doesn't matter that Bannon was a private citizen. The President has the right to seek counsel from individuals outside of government without the contents of those discussions having to be disclosed to the other branches of government. This is a Separation of Powers issue.
- The privilege does not transfer from Trump to Biden simply when Trump leaves office anymore than hiring somebody's attorney as your own after the fact transfers their Attorney-Client Privilege to you.
Prediction: This will bounce around in a lower court for a year or more, and ultimately be dismissed. The SCOTUS might decide however to take up the case in order to clarify matters of Executive Privilege in the future.

Fifth Circuit Demolishes Biden’s ‘Sledgehamner’ Jab Mandate: Affirms Nationwide Stay, Orders OSHA to Take ‘No Steps to Implement or Enforce Mandate’
The Fifth Circuit delivers a Let’s go Brandon ruling on Xiden’s vaccine coercion ‘workaround.’ Excerpts from the ruling:
“On the dubious assumption that the Mandate does pass constitutional muster — which we need not decide today — it is nonetheless fatally flawed on its own terms. Indeed, the Mandate’s strained prescriptions combine to make it the rare government pronouncement that is both overinclusive (applying to employers and employees in virtually all industries and workplaces in America, with little attempt to account for the obvious differences between the risks facing, say, a security guard on a lonely night shift, and a meatpacker working shoulder to shoulder in a cramped warehouse) and underinclusive (purporting to save employees with 99 or more coworkers from a “grave danger” in the workplace, while making no attempt to shield employees with 98 or fewer coworkers from the very same threat). The Mandate’s stated impetus— a purported “emergency” that the entire globe has now endured for nearly two years, and which OSHA itself spent nearly two months responding to — is unavailing as well. And its promulgation grossly exceeds OSHA’s statutory authority.
[…]
Thus, courts have uniformly observed that OSHA’s authority to establish emergency temporary standards under § 655(c) “is an ‘extraordinary power’ that is to be ‘delicately exercised’ in only certain ‘limited situations.’” Id. at 370 (quoting Pub. Citizen, 702 F.2d at 1155).
But the Mandate at issue here is anything but a “delicate exercise” of this “extraordinary power.” Cf. Pub. Citizen, 702 F.2d at 1155. Quite the opposite, rather than a delicately handled scalpel, the Mandate is a one-size-fits-all sledgehammer that makes hardly any attempt to account for differences in workplaces (and workers) that have more than a little bearing on workers’ varying degrees of susceptibility to the supposedly “grave danger” the Mandate purports to address.
[…]
It lastly bears noting that the Mandate raises serious constitutional concerns that either make it more likely that the petitioners will succeed on the merits, or at least counsel against adopting OSHA’s broad reading of § 655(c) as a matter of statutory interpretation.
[…]
For these reasons, the petitioners’ motion for a stay pending review is GRANTED. Enforcement of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s “COVID-19 Vaccination and Testing; Emergency Temporary Standard” remains STAYED pending adequate judicial review of the petitioners’ underlying motions for a permanent injunction.
In addition, IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that OSHA take no steps to implement or enforce the Mandate until further court order.

The CDC Finally Reveals Its Estimate for How Many Americans Have ‘Natural Immunity’: 146.6 Million People | Becker News
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has quietly acknowledged that far more people have natural immunity than was earlier reported. After a five-month delay, the CDC revealed that a staggering 146.6 million Americans have been infected by the Sars-CoV-2 virus and have survived it.
Also released was a highly inflated “estimated total deaths” figure of 921,000. The CDC reports “Covid-related deaths,” and not deaths caused by Covid-19. That is because 94% of Covid-related deaths had serious underlying medical conditions, such as heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. While Covid-19 may have been a contributing causal factor to the timing of a patient’s death, the vast majority occurred in patients who were immunocompromised or elderly. The average age of Covid-related death in 2020 was slightly under life expectancy at 77 years old.

The Pentagon Sees Its First National Guard Unit Mutiny Over the Federal Vaccine Mandate | Becker News
The first state National Guard unit has made itself clear to the Department of Defense it has no intention of enforcing its Covid-19 vaccine mandate.
“The Oklahoma National Guard has rejected the Defense Department’s requirement for all service members to receive the coronavirus vaccine and will allow personnel to sidestep the policy with no repercussions, a potential blueprint for Republican governors who have challenged Biden administration mandates,” the Washington Post reported.
“Brig. Gen. Thomas Mancino, appointed this week by Gov. Kevin Stitt (R) as adjutant of the state’s 10,000 National Guard soldiers and airmen, on Thursday notified those under his command that they are not required to receive the vaccine and won’t be punished if they decline it,” the report added.
The Department of Defense is facing numerous lawsuits over the unconstitutional jab mandate order, including class action lawsuits from the members of all five military branches.

With COVID-19 Emergency Period Over Why Are Pharmaceutical Companies Still Given a Liability Waiver? | Conservative Treehouse
Many people have asked: how is the best way to stop the insanity behind the incessant vaccine narrative? The likely best approach is to start demanding the pharmaceutical companies have their liability waivers removed.
If the vaccine is safe and effective, why would the U.S. government still need to provide liability waivers from adverse vaccine outcomes?
Start pressuring legislators and elected officials to force the elimination of the waivers. Alinsky them… Make them live up to their own narrative; their own words, their own rules.
Eliminate those liability waivers and watch how fast every vaccine mandate is dropped.

Another Dem Bites the Dust: Senator Patrick Leahy Announces Retirement | Just the News
Democratic Sen. Patrick Leahy of Vermont, who serves as president pro tempore of the Senate and is the longest-serving member of the upper chamber, announced Monday morning that he will not seek reelection next year. First elected in 1974, Leahy has remained in the Senate for eight presidencies. He oversaw the second sham impeachment of President Trump.
Leahy's announcement sets up the first open Senate election in Vermont since 2006, when congressman Bernie Sanders became Senator Bernie Sanders. Because Sanders is technically an Independent, Leahy is the only Democrat to ever have been elected to the Senate from Vermont.
At least 13 Dem House members have also announced their intention to step down.

Gubernatorial Candidate Kleefisch Files Lawsuit Against Wisconsin Elections Commission | Newstalk 1130
Wisconsin Republican gubernatorial candidate and former Lt. Governor Rebecca Kleefisch has filed a lawsuit against the Wisconsin Elections Commission in an effort to force it to comply with state law in the runup to the 2022 election.
Kleefisch on Monday filed an original action before the Wisconsin Supreme Court, asking the Court to take up the suit without having it first go before lower courts.
“The rulemaking and policy authority of the Wisconsin Elections Commission (WEC) is in disarray and will remain so until this Court accepts jurisdiction and… answers disputed issues of law necessary for a fair and orderly 2022 election," the lawsuit states.
Kleefisch alleges that WEC has been violating state law in its guidance to local election officials on "the [legality] of unattended drop boxes, the role of special voting deputies at residential care facilities and qualified nursing homes, [and] the consolidation of polling places." These rogue 2020 WEC directives “remain on the books today” and must be resolved before 2022, Kleefisch warns in her lawsuit announcement.

Beware of Trifling With Trump’s Executive Privilege
The Democrats who are suing to break President Trump’s executive privilege in respect of January 6 might want to be careful for what they wish. The same constitutional lee in which Mr.Trump is trying to shelter might someday — even as early as 2023 — be invoked by a Democratic president, like, say, one Joseph Biden. The burden for the House Democrats is to avoid, in their zeal to get Mr. Trump, degrading the presidency itself.

Wyoming GOP Kicks Liz Cheney Out of the Party
The Wyoming Republican Party will no longer recognize Liz Cheney as a member of the GOP in its second formal rebuke. The resolution factored in her vote to impeach President Donald Trump, her participation in the partisan 1/6 witch-hunt committee, and her alliance with Nancy Pelosi.
The 31-29 vote on Saturday in Buffalo, Wyoming by the state party central committee followed votes by local GOP officials in about one-third of Wyoming’s 23 counties to expel Cheney from the Republican Party.

Wisconsin Senate Committee Issues Subpoena for Madison 2020 Election Records | Channel 3000
As we reported last week, a WI Senate committee has issued a subpoena to the city of Madison for election records. Channel 3000 has more details:
“State Republicans announced plans for their own investigation in late October after the non-partisan Legislative Audit Bureau shared a report outlining inconsistent administration of election law based on surveys of ballots from around the state.
The subpoena — issued by the Senate Committee on Elections, Election Process Reform and Ethics and signed by Senate Majority Leader Devin LeMahieu, Senate President Chris Kapenga and committee chair Senator Kathleen Bernier — calls for the city to turn over all physical absentee ballot certificates for the November 2020 General Election and the results of tests on electronic voting machines used for the election.
According to LAB’s report, Madison City Clerk Maribeth Witzel-Behl was the only clerk to decline to let the LAB physically handle absentee ballot certificates, citing chain-of-custody concerns.
‘Having to sign the third subpoena in the history of the Senate is not something I take lightly. It’s unfortunate and concerning that a few people running elections think they are more important than the electorate,’ Kapenga said. ‘I sign this with the full effect of the law behind it. We are not playing games, and there will be consequences if they don’t comply.’
Senate Republicans’ election investigation is being run simultaneously with a separate investigation led by former Supreme Court Justice Mike Gableman. Earlier this fall, Gableman sent subpoenas to the Wisconsin Elections Commission and the state’s five largest cities asking for election materials and interviews with election officials. A judge has set a hearing on whether or not to block that subpoena.”

Judicial Watch Warns 14 Counties and Five States to Clean Voter Registration Lists or Face Federal Lawsuits | Judicial Watch
Judicial Watch announced today that it sent letters to election officials in 14 counties and five states — Arkansas, California, Illinois, New York, and Oregon — notifying them of evident violations of the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 (NVRA). The letters detail how these states’ own reported data show that their counties removed an “absurdly low” or “impossible” number of inactive voter registrations under key provisions of the NVRA. The letters threaten federal lawsuits unless the violations are corrected in a timely fashion.
Robert Popper, Judicial Watch senior attorney and director of its voting integrity efforts, observed that “About 10% of Americans move every year. Those counties should generate hundreds of thousands of cancelled registrations. There is simply no way to comply with federal law while removing so few outdated registrations under its key provision.” Popper emphasized that these numbers come directly from state reports to the EAC. Popper was formerly Deputy Chief of the Voting Section of the Civil Rights Division of the Justice Department.
“These letters are just the beginning of another sweep, in federal court if necessary, to clean voter rolls throughout the country,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.
