Bannon's own words have been even more damaging than his lawyer's. When he surrendered himself to the FBI on Monday, Bannon brazenly outlined his intent, "I don't want anybody to take their eye off the ball...We're taking down the Biden regime."
Third, Bannon can't hide behind his lawyer any more than he can hide behind Trump. Schoen claims
that Bannon was merely acting on the advice of his lawyer, who told him
to honor Trump's privilege invocation. But the majority of federal
courts hold that reliance on a lawyer's advice isn't a defense
to criminal contempt. The Godfather's Vito Corleone didn't get to break
the law with impunity because Tom Hagen told him it was OK.
