Bannon’s Legal Team Hilariously Flips the Script on DOJ / Jan 6th Committee
Julie Kelly has great covereage.
DOJ wants protective orders on numerous categories of evidence including J6 committee comms, witness statements, law enforcement information.

Bannon team: Under protective order, Bannon limited how they can use evidence in the case. Points out this is govt employee material
"This case should be adjudicated in the court room not the media." – DOJ

WHAT ARE THEY HIDING?
Judge trying to split the baby–how evidence can be made available to defense but prevented from released to public/media. Bannon team objects to idea, notes media wants access, too.
DOJ claims dissemination to media will influence potential jury, witnesses, and outcome.

Team Bannon calls it "baseless." Judge Nichols suggests burden might be on Bannon to argue removal of protective order in each instance. pic.twitter.com/ntiUwdIPRT
It's clear Bannon's team is attempting to delegitimize the entire J6 committee, which is great.

Notes Thompson's personal lawsuit should preclude him from heading committee. Notes Raskin's lead role in Trump's impeachment. "Entitled to know what the processes were."
This hearing is LIT. A careful analysis of why the J6 is illegitimate–it's too bad no GOP congressional leader is making this argument EVERY DAY.

Judge asks why Bannon wants to delay trial until late next year. DOJ push for April WHICH IS FUNNY bc they keep delaying J6 trials.
