Well, helium has not been subpoenaed but we expect anyone who is subpoenaed to comply with lawful orders. Obviously, helium is making noises about enforcement privilege. The thought that mightiness somehow extend to Steve Bannon is comical and farcical. Steve Bannon was fired successful 2017 several years earlier the January 6th attacks adjacent took place. Even for Donald Trump, it is simply a very far-fetched statement because successful a assertion of executive privilege which does not adhere to a quality being but alternatively to the office.

 Joe Biden has said there is nary occupation with turning this worldly over. Even if Trump were to someway try to property this successful tribunal what you’re weighing is the public’s overwhelming involvement to know about our ain authorities and the security of our ain government against immoderate asserted claim essentially successful national security. But present the nationalist and national security are connected the aforesaid broadside of the equation, some for disclosure of everything that Steve Bannon knows, everything Donald Trump knows, indeed everything that immoderate of america knows because this was a monolithic crime against the republic. We haven’t seen an onslaught connected the Capitol similar this since the War of 1812. Or an onslaught connected the republic like this since the Civil War. 

The 1/6 Committee is expected to rapidly ballot to clasp Bannon successful transgression contempt of Congress, and the DOJ is expected to enactment promptly to indict Bannon.

The committee is sending a connection to Trump and each of his associates that they champion not adjacent deliberation astir refusing to comply with a subpoena oregon they could extremity up down bars.
