Topic: Cross Examination

Rob Dewey, a 16-year veteran of Infowars, provides a detailed breakdown of the last two days in court. He describes the slow, tedious questioning by the Connecticut families' attorneys and the more revealing cross-examination of the auctioneer. Dewey notes that the "joint bidders" (The Onion and Bloomberg) admitted the process was "never perfect" to cover up procedural errors.

Alex Jones and Robert Barnes review an exchange where attorney Chris Mattei reportedly lost his temper in court. Barnes suggests that Mattei's frustration stems from his inability to trap Jones in a pre-scripted narrative. They argue that the plaintiff's counsel is more interested in political theater than the emotional injury of the families they represent.

Steve Bannon was reportedly denied his Sixth Amendment right to subpoena members of Congress, including the committee chair, to challenge the subpoena's validity. Barnes blames "DC circuit precedent" for gutting Bannon's ability to present a meaningful defense. He notes that the D.C. jury pool, which voted 95% for Joe Biden, is inherently biased against Bannon because they are part of the "parasitic" administrative state.

The defense points out that even Representative Jerry Nadler previously stated that due process in impeachment includes the right to call witnesses and have counsel. However, the New York Times reported that in this instance, there were no witness interviews or committee debates. The defense argues it is "unfathomable" that the framers would allow a President to be impeached without the elementary procedures of an adversarial process.
