1 chapters across the catalog

Barnes argues that the January 6th committee is not "legally constituted" because it lacks a ranking minority member appointed by the minority leader. He points out that at trial, a staff lawyer could not identify who actually wrote or signed the subpoena issued to Bannon. Barnes criticizes the judge for denying Bannon a "mistake of law" defense, which he claims is standard in criminal cases involving willfulness.
