That stance infuriated lawmakers. Sources described the meeting as a total free-for-all and brutal.
He doesnt have any friends in that room, one source said.
Committee Chairman Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) confirmed to reporters that he authorized the congressional subpoenas, saying, Thats how the rules work.
According to multiple sources, Bannon did not immediately comply with the subpoenas, which were for both testimony and documents. The interview was still ongoing as of early Tuesday evening.

(33,643 posts)The F&F book, for all his protestations, backs that notion up for Dump rather nicely. Who's going to believe Dotard was smart enough to conspire after what they read in F&F?
Hell I'm not even sure *I* believe he did so himself. Cause he clearly IS a fucking idiot.
Stone, Bannon, Manafort, Page, Jerod ... they actually COULD have colluded ... w/o him knowing. We can't discount that possibility. Or at least that we'll never 'get him' on being directly involved.
Of course, if it was a DEM, the fact that a bunch of people so close to him were busted would mean HE HIMSELF IS BUSTED (see: The McCabe's Wife Paradigm, or The Uranium One Theory, to cite two examples), but ... we all know how 'standards' apply: IOKIYAR.
Whether he knew or not, it's not unthinkable that Bannon's being set up to take the fall, Scooter-Style ... then he'll probably die of the liver failure he's known was coming ... like 6 months into his term at his Country-Club prison ...
