“Bannon also celebrated that eight Republican representatives from PA would object to certification of the election, claiming they ‘just needed a nudge from the War Room posse’ to take this position.” (Told ya Bannon is all over PA. See Preate family.) 2/

Bannon “bragged that ‘after hours we’re on skyping’ and making calls to ‘patriot groups’ in Pennsylvania…” [Which “patriot groups”???] 3/

“Bannon told his audience: ‘It’s not going to happen like you think it’s going to happen, OK. It’s going to be quite extraordinarily different. And all I can say is strap in, the War Room posse. You have made this happen, and tomorrow it’s game day.’” 4/

Bannon “warned of a constitutional crisis that’s “about to go up, I think, five orders of magnitude tomorrow.”
Bannon claimed, ‘We’re going to go through a couple of three very turbulent 24-hour periods.’” 5/

“On January 4, Bannon suggested he participated in a conference call that took place two days earlier with state legislators during which Trump joined to give an address alleging massive voter fraud in the 2020 election.” 6/

“Bannon proclaimed that ‘in the fog of war’ you need to “to have clarity that January 6 was going to be the day -- or one of these days and you had converge everything down to January 6.’ He warned that ‘starting tomorrow, it is going to be wild.’” 7/
