“What did Steve Bannon know and when did he know it? Ask his Pennsylvania pals [including Frank Scavo].” by Jennifer Cohn
link.medium.com/ofp25pPoLmb
“Bannon has spoken at several events — on October 2020, December 29, 2020, and October 2021 — alongside Sean Moon, the leader of a Trump-loving ‘Christian’ sect in Pennsylvania called the Rod of Iron Ministries, which worships with AR-15 automatic rifles.” 1/
2/ “Moon, who often wears a crown of bullet casings, was videotaped outside the Capitol on January 6, 2021, with some of his followers, as reported by DC Report.”
3/ “During the December 29 speaking engagement with Bannon, Moon was introduced by Frank Scavo, a local Pennsylvania man from Old Forge.”
4/ “Old Forge is a tiny enclave. In March 2020, Bannon’s associate, Ernie Preate, a convicted felon and former Pennsylvania AG [and soon to be Scavo defense counsel] took Bannon to a pizzeria in Old Forge called Arcaro & Genell.”
5/ “Trump himself [bizarrely] visited Old Forge for a small campaign rally on August 20, 2020, the date of Bannon’s arrest on charges that he misused funds from his ‘Build the Wall’ project.” Scavo was there.
6/ “That day, Trump made an unscheduled visit to Arcaro & Genell. (Photo via National Journal)”
7/ “This Twitter account says that Trump ‘had a very small meeting with select Trump supporters’ that summer in Old Forge. I asked for details [was it during this campaign stop in August?] but received no response.”
8/
9/ “Many are afraid to say it, but this is not a close race
The reasons Trump was underestimated in 2016 no longer apply. In fact, he's his own worst enemy.” - August 2020 nationaljournal.com/s/709328/many-…
10/ “On December 30, Scavo called into Bannon’s War Room podcast to publicize a pro-Trump rally outside a state lawmaker’s home, which was attended by Moon and his followers in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Scavo later said that he got the idea for the protest from Bannon’s podcast.”
11/ “The same day, Bannon allegedly advised Trump to focus his efforts on January 6.”
12/ “On January 3, according to Lancaster online, the Oathkeepers and other “patriot groups” held their final January 6 planning meeting in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.”
13/ “On his January 5 podcast, as reported by Media Matters, Bannon said that “‘we put calls out last night trying to put bail up’ for the leader of the Proud Boys Enrique Tarrio.”
14/ “Bannon also boasted that “after hours we’re on skyping these calls in Lackawanna county [where Old Forge is located] and to patriot groups around and conservative groups and Tea Party groups…”
15/ There’s a lot more in the piece. Please read it & share if you find it helpful. Please tag @January6thCmte. Thanks!

👀The Harvard Journal of Law & Public Policy has published an article by A3P attorney Josh Hammer, Timon Cline, & Yoram Hazony. It calls on SCOTUS to reverse the 1947 Everson case, which held that the Establishment Clause applies to states & requires church-state separation. 1/ Image

2/ The article was published several weeks ago. Here’s the link: journals.law.harvard.edu/jlpp/wp-conten…
3/ I’ve been waiting for the article to drop since last year.

While we were distracted, Trump appointed Josh Craddock—who recently signed a letter urging the DOJ to use the Comstock Act to curtail abortion pill distribution—to serve as Deputy Assistant AG in the DOJ’s OLC. Don’t worry. He probly won’t do much until *after* the midterms… 1/ Image
2/ Josh Craddock announced his appointment on 7/2/25.

ICYMI, during the 2016 presidential campaign, “Epstein invited [Peter] Thiel and [Thomas] Barrack to separate meetings with Vitaly Churkin, Russia’s ambassador to the United Nations. **** Thiel, who had several interactions with Epstein starting in 2014, according to the documents, said his Oct 2016 meeting with Epstein & Churkin featured ‘nothing memorable.’
‘I was rather naive,’ Thiel said in an interview, ‘and I didn’t think enough about what Epstein’s agenda might have been.’ Barrack, founder of Colony Capital and a longtime Trump ally, declined to comment.” 1/ archive.is/2023.09.03-150…Image

Tulsi’s report seems to me like an attempt to distract. As I detailed on Medium, Obama stated in Dec 2016 that, “We have not seen evidence of machines being tampered with *** That doesn’t mean that we find every single potential probe of every single voting machine across the country. But we paid a lot of attention to it. We worked with state election officials, etc. And we feel confident that that didn’t occur.” 1/Image
If anything, I felt that Obama and others provided false assurances to the public about the legitimacy of Trump’s win in 2016. I explained my concerns in detail here. 3/ jennycohn1.medium.com/why-have-so-ma…Image

A whistleblower alleged that staff of Palantir—co-founded by Facebook investor/director Peter Thiel—had worked w/ Cambridge Analytica (CA) on the FB data it acquired. But a Palantir spokesperson claimed Palantir never had a relationship w/ CA & never worked on its data. 5/2018 1/ Image
