NEW Stupid Republican Idea of the Day (Part 2)

[Folacin]

I had that exact same thought in the Bannon specific thread:

Steve Bannon - odds he will show up on Monday for his trial?

I would expect the passport thing (actually, it seems like it should be standard requirement for bail (or even released on own recognizance)), but why a gag orde<. Even if convicted of a felony (I believe he was facing misdemeanors?), once the trial is done, what reason is there to shut him up? Heck, let him yap, encourage it even - the prosecution could undoubtedly use it to show lack of remorse and push for the longest term available.
