Bad news for Steve Bannon in his criminal trial already

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

Steve Bannon, and a number of people in the media and pundit class, wanted everyone to believe that the courts and the DOJ would never be able to seat a trial jury against him due to his controversial nature. Guess what? All 22 jurors were approved today. It took all of one day. It’ll be whittled down to 12 tomorrow plus two alternates, and that’s that. Turns out the courts have some experience with knowing how to weed politically biased types out of jury pools, and put together a jury of people who don’t much know or care who Bannon is.

Bannon has always been all hat and no cattle. Hopefully he’ll now be dumb enough to try tampering with the jury or witnesses so they can hit him with more charges. And when he is convicted on the current contempt charges, he’ll claim victory because he’s “only” going to prison for perhaps six months or a year. But all indications are that the DOJ has more serious charges coming against him, and Bannon’s own court filings seem to give away that Bannon expects more charges.

Literally the only power someone like Steve Bannon has is when he’s able to use empty scary threats to trick you into hiding under your desk and cowering to him, instead of getting your butt out there and helping the Democrats win elections. Don’t give him that power over you.

The mainstream media (on the left and right) can be extremely complicit in helping someone like Bannon build up his reputation as an omnipotent evil wizard who always wins. Liberal news outlets are always willing to print this scary nonsense because it’s good for ratings and page views.

Your job is to not fall for it. When’s the last time Bannon had a victory of any kind? All he does is lose. And then he tells the media he’s “raising an army of 20,000 people” or some nonsense and they print it as if it were a real thing.

While Steve Bannon is busy being put on criminal trial, let’s use this time to go out and win the midterms. Here’s how.
