"They're hiding behind phony privileges" — irony is dead.
Bannon is a horse’s arse. He refuses to respond to a subpoena for a YEAR, and he expects a congressman that respond after just one day. The hypocrisy is off-the-charts! Please God, put Bannon in jail until he no longer has any power or voice to which people will listen.
