Here is probably why he is ranting and raving.
Steve Bannon's request to delay contempt trial denied after he offered to testify before Jan. 6 panel
Quote:
"I see no reason for extending this case any further," said U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols, paving the way for the case to open next week.
The judge also severely restricted Bannon’s possible lines of defense.
Nichols ruled that Bannon cannot offer evidence that he relied on the advice of his counsel in refusing to cooperate with the committee’s subpoena, saying that such an assertion does not shield him from conduct that is deliberate and intentional.
The judge further dealt a blow to the former adviser when he ruled that Bannon could not offer alleged rule violations by the committee, as he has previously asserted. And he quashed Bannon’s efforts to subpoena House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, other House leaders and Jan. 6 committee members.
