11. Bannon's Lawyers Argue That Imprisoning Him Would Be Cruel and Unusual Punishment
Fri Jul 22, 2022, 02:56 PM
Jul 2022
for Other Prisoners

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—In an impassioned plea in open court, lawyers for Steve Bannon argued that imprisoning their client would result in cruel and unusual punishment for those incarcerated with him.

“The Eighth Amendment to the United States Constitution explicitly bans cruel and unusual punishment,” Bannon’s attorney, Harland Dorrinson, declared. “We strongly believe that being locked up in the same facility with Mr. Bannon is precisely what the authors of that amendment had in mind.”

Nearly two years into Biden and I still have a hard time quickly sorting reality from satire. Not as bad as the Trump years where Wapo, NY Times, etc. merged with The Onion.

Jul 2022

"During his own summation, M. Evan Corcoran, one of Mr. Bannon’s lawyers, sought to argue that the subpoena his client had received had been improperly signed by the committee, adding for the jury that Mr. Bannon had not intentionally failed to comply with it. Mr. Corcoran also noted, trying to suggest a whiff of impropriety, that a prosecutor on the case and one of the government’s witnesses had belonged to the same book club."
