It isn't and it has nothing to do with the court the Durham subpoenas are issued for so, any way you slice it, Bannon did not take one for the team to set any type of precedent.
Not true, it is already on the books, this case makes no difference.
2 U.S. Code § 192 - Refusal of witness to testify or produce papers
Every person who having been summoned as a witness by the authority of either House of Congress to give testimony or to produce papers upon any matter under inquiry before either House, or any joint committee established by a joint or concurrent resolution of the two Houses of Congress, or any committee of either House of Congress, willfully makes default, or who, having appeared, refuses to answer any question pertinent to the question under inquiry, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of not more than $1,000 nor less than $100 and imprisonment in a common jail for not less than one month nor more than twelve months.

In Europe, I've noticed three "places" where masks are still required.
1. Germany, in many instances.
2. Public transport.
3. Medical facilities.
...
Most everyone else has happily taken their masks off.
Wonder how it will go if another masked lockdown is announced.
BTW, no rabid monkeys in the local trees here.
Cheers
Einhorn was eventually convicted in 2002, but not before taking the witness stand in his own defense and claiming the CIA killed Maddux. He asserted he was set up because he knew too much about the Agency's military paranormal research. The case resulted in researchers such as Mark Pilkington and Greg Bishop showing interest over the years.
Einhorn died of reportedly natural causes in a Pennsylvania prison in 2020. For those wondering, he was called the Unicorn Killer because "Einhorn" apparently translates to "unicorn" in German.

Plenty of bewildered sheep trotting around here in France. The supermarkets are their biggest fear.
We absolutely need loads more shots to get rid of the truly stoopid ignorant flocks and herds, not to mention a whole load of subserviant puppies and their bitches.
Gimme the needle, I'll do it!
God I love being honest.
And good luck to all who say NO!
Prepping for hell in a handbasket continues..

I appreciate your position Dask. Who do you think the person posting as Q likely is then?

This just shows that you don't understand my position.
I have been into conspiracy theories for over 30 years. I have no problem entertaining and even accepting the info shared in these threads, although not all of it. Like I have said before, a good portion are just old rehashed CTs. So, there would be no point where I could experience a tidal wave of information realization.
The one thing that separates me from many here is that I don't believe Q and their army of white hats are real and are fighting to carry out The Plan.

We are not here to prove Q. So far, you have been here to disprove Q.
You do a good job of explaining the Q part and why you aren't sold. It is the logic failures we keep bumping into repeatedly like the Sun Tzu logic that would have you, yours, and any in your company in dire trouble for being so open.
Wanting to know all the details of a military operation when you are not in the unit is bad for the mission, and nothing we have shared seems to resonate for you on this being espionage and subject to that logic alone.
Espionage collection for some other team is all you can get by taking the approach of "pffft show me what you got or it ain't so". We should not be helping the enemy figure one damn thing out really until they are defeated.

This is gold
Last summer, Pfizer disclosed its long-term strategy to continue using messenger RNA, the key ingredient in its blockbuster COVID-19 vaccine, to treat other diseases.
The company said it wanted to explore how mRNA could be used to edit the human genome, and hinted that it would pursue an approach called “base editing.” The goal of base editing is to precisely — and permanently — change a single letter of DNA to cure a disease.
It didn’t take long for Cambridge biotech Beam Therapeutics, which is pioneering base editing, to get a call from the New York pharmaceutical giant.
The companies said Monday they are partnering to work on genetic medicines for three undisclosed diseases involving the liver, muscles, and central nervous system. Pfizer will pay Beam $300 million upfront in the biotech startup’s largest collaboration to date.
“Pfizer was looking for what’s next,” said Beam chief executive John Evans. “[Messenger RNA] is transient, so you want to have a permanent impact on the body. One way to do that is with a vaccine and another way is with a gene edit.”
In the COVID-19 vaccines, mRNA teaches the body to make the spike protein of the virus to trigger an immune response, and it is delivered through lipid nanoparticles. (The COVID vaccines do not alter a person’s DNA)
Evans said in other applications, mRNA could be used to carry information for a so-called “base editor,” which would permanently change a letter in a person’s genome to cure a disease. Lipid nanoparticles are known to reach the liver, but Beam is working on delivering genetic therapies to other organs, muscles, and the central nervous system.
Base editing is thought to overcome the challenges associated with traditional gene-editing methods, since it would be more precise and efficient.
“This could be a very disruptive and exciting transition in medicine . . . moving toward a one-time, curative therapy,” he said.
Giuseppe Ciaramella, the president and chief scientific officer of Beam, said a focus on gene editing with mRNA is an “obvious” move for Pfizer, given its experience with developing and manufacturing its COVID-19 vaccine. This is an area Ciaramella knows particularly well; before Beam, he worked on vaccines at Moderna.
As part of the deal, Pfizer can develop and commercialize the three candidates that Beam discovers, and Beam can choose to co-develop and market one of them. Beam is eligible for an additional $1.05 billion in regulatory, commercial, and milestone payments if all programs pan out.
Founded in 2017, Beam raised $180 million in an initial public offering in February 2020. The company’s base-editing technology was developed by David Liu, a researcher at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, who has founded several local biotechs.
