Bannon’s strategy is to “run out the clock. Jennifer Cohn makes a strong case for a creative solution: If Bannon won’t talk, subpoena his Pennsylvania pals, beginning with Frank Scavo, Ernie Preate and Teddy Daniels.” By @cjkink, 11/21/21 1/ thetimes-tribune.com/opinion/chris-…
“‘Bannon clearly knew that more was going to happen than just protesting outside the building,’ [Jennifer] Cohn said in a phone interview... The California lawyer, election integrity advocate & investigative journalist has made Frank Scavo a household name on Twitter.” 2/
“In her latest excellent article for medium.com, Cohn asks ‘What did Steve Bannon know and when did he know it?’ She then links Frank, Ernie & Teddy w/ Bannon, Trump & right-wing militia types like the Oath Keepers, Proud Boys & the Moonie Rod of Iron Ministries…3/
… in Pike County. Cohn has the receipts, including photos and video.” 4/
“Cohn is doing important, exhaustive work. Become one of her more than 203,000 followers at twitter.com/jennycohn1.” [Thank you, @cjkink!] 5/
“I reached out to [Jennifer] Cohn after a presentencing memorandum revealed that federal prosecutors recommend a sentence of just 14 days in prison and a $500 fine for the Old Forge insurrectionist. Frank is scheduled to be sentenced Monday, and could walk with no jail time.” 6/
“‘I can’t stand it,’ Cohn said. ‘It makes me so mad that they’re going to get away with it. Even if they get away with it legally, if we can expose it publicly, it matters.’” 7/
“I reached out to Ernie Preate, Frank’s attorney and a longtime friend of Bannon. Ernie’s daughter, Alexandra, is a public relations operative for the self-described ‘Leninist’ who wants to “bring everything crashing down, and destroy all of today’s establishment.’” 8/
“I asked Ernie [a convicted felon] if he knew who in Lackawanna County Bannon was Skyping with. Ernie said he knew nothing about it…” [JC Note: I would like to hear him say that under oath] 9/
Ernie “did share an interesting bit of news that strengthens Cohn’s case for subpoenas. M. Evan Corcoran, a Maryland attorney representing Steve Bannon, is also representing Frank Scavo in Washington, D.C.” 10/
“Ernie said he connected Bannon and Scavo with Corcoran, an arrangement some might note as an example of Ernie’s influence in Republican politics and others decry as ‘Six Degrees of Sedition.’” 11/
“This latest connection is more exigent evidence that the Feds — including the Jan. 6 committee — should take a deeper look at Frank and his friends in Lackawanna County and across Pennsylvania. What did they know and when did they know it? Justice requires answers.” 12/
“Did the Feds investigate Frank’s many documented connections to extremists who routinely call for violent interference with the operations of government?” 13/
“Considering all the loose ends hiding in plain sight, do they really believe Frank is just a clueless rube who stumbled into history on one of America’s darkest days?” 14/
“I don’t. Neither does Jennifer Cohn. Do you?” 15/
“Frank [Scavo] and his [Pennsylvania] friends took a jigsaw to American democracy. The least the government they tried to overthrow can do is put the pieces together.” 16/
“CHRIS KELLY, the Times-Tribune columnist, solves puzzles for a living. Read his award-winning blog at timestribuneblogs.com/kelly.” [cc:@Gladwell - this reminds me of your Master Class episode, which I listened to (coincidentally) last night.] 17/

25/ I don’t know if Scavo had any interaction with Bausman, but he did organize a pro-Trump rally in Lancaster county. The county was also the locale of the final planning meeting of the Oathkeepers & other pro-Trump groups. lancasteronline.com/news/politics/…
