the capitol riot. this afternoon a jury in washington found the political advisor turned broadcaster guilty of two counts of contempt of congress. those charges are the result of his refusal to comply with a january 6th committee subpoena. the verdict came hours after the committee s primetime hearing that saw white house insiders paint a damning portrait of a president choosing to allow a deadly insurrection to rage unchecked. tonight, the panel called today s bannon verdict, quote, a victory for the rule of law and an important affirmation of the select committees work. despite the guilty verdict, bannon and his lawyer remain defiant after the jury s decision. the prosecutor missed one very important phrase, right? i stand with trump and the constitution. and i will never back off that. ever. this is round one. that s what happened. yeah. this is a bulletproof appeal. you will see this case reversed on appeal. as bannon awaits his sentencing on october 21st, the
