Welcome back to the Dirt Show. Today we're going to talk about Steve Bannon case. Let me

start by saying I can't imagine anyone in public life who I disagree with more and most

policy issues. Bannon is as right wing and conservative as almost possible and I met

let's assume that the president had told me all kinds of deep dark secrets in preparation for

my defense of him on the floor of the Senate. If I got a subpoena, I would refuse to comply with it.

I would probably do it more politely, but I'm a lawyer. But I would have written a letter to

Congress saying, sorry, you just can't subpoena me and ask me any questions that are covered by the
