This is going to be Bannon claiming Executive Privilege for the former President.
I know that claim is bullshit however Bannon will roll with it because
A) It inflates the former Presidents ego
B) The current court could possibly side with him
Bannon has already pulled this shit before. The odds of him giving useful information are very low. If he wants to testify, fine, but I wouldn’t televise it.

Ah that's Bannon's plan. He's in court right now for his contempt charge. He's attempting to delay the beginning of that trial and says anything he plans to say to the Jan 6 committee should get excluded his charges

soooo is this going to be a tell-all or a series of "5th amendment" responses?

Ploy to impact his trial that starts this week. He's only doing it to benefit himself in that matter.

Bannon wants to do his testimony on LIVE tv.
i'm betting it's to make a circus show of the hearing by telling lies and Faux News talking points.

Hopefully the committee wont fall for this and just give him a closed door hearing like they did with Trump's lawyer.

btw- How can Trump's whitehouse lawyer claim executive privledge?

Didnt Bill Clinton have to hire a private lawyer for his impeachment trial because the courts ruled that the Whitehouse lawyer can be compelled to talk since he's a govt employee?

I hope they do it privately. He can suck on it, if he wants to show up and turn the hearing into a circus.

It's a feeble attempt to avoid liability in his upcoming criminal contempt trial. The chance of Bannon actually cooperating with the committee and/or giving any substantive or useful testimony is near nill IMO. His career and future income are dependent on him being perceived as a MAGA guru. He is banking on a future Trump pardon if he gets convicted.

Lol ... Trump can no more waive "Executive Privilege" than I can. The man is utterly delusional. This is just Trump trying to act like he’s in charge of his deluded minions. He knows Bannon is going to do this, so he is trying to spin it in a way to save face. “Yeah, I totally told him to do it, so he can prove how deceitful this criminal committee is being”

The Committee has no reason to allow any sort of live testimony. Everything about this is planned. And the only thing that Trump cultists gain by insisting on going live is the ability to try and hijack the hearings. If it’s actually someone wanting to confess, they’ll gladly do so behind closed doors to be rebroadcast later. And if they’re ratting someone out, they’ll want to do it behind closed doors regardless.

So, more hyper-intelligent Trump White House and justice department discussions brought forward in evidence today... Chinese thermostats stole the election!

Analysis: Trump allies suggested smart thermostats were used to hack voting machines
By Emma Brown2:29 p.m.

During the wild, six-hour White House meeting on Dec. 18, 2020, described in today’s hearing, former national security adviser Michael Flynn — asked repeatedly to provide evidence that the election was fraudulent — brought up smart thermostats. He made “some comment about, like, Nest thermostats being hooked up to the internet,” White House lawyer Eric Herschmann recalled in recorded testimony played at the hearing. The notion that smart thermostats somehow helped Joe Biden win might be one of the lesser-known conspiracy theories that made the rounds after Nov. 3, 2020, but it reached into the highest levels of government. Not only was it invoked during the Dec. 18 meeting, but Justice Department official Jeffrey Clark invoked it as he tried to pressure his superiors into taking action to overturn the election outcome. “If you have not seen it, white hat hackers have evidence (in the public domain) that a Dominion machine accessed the internet through a smart thermostat with a net connection trail leading back to China,” Clark wrote on Dec. 28, 2020, in an email released last year by the Senate Judiciary Committee.

lol. Totally lacks any semblance of self control even when his life as a free man is increasingly at stake.
