So the judge on the Bannon case that denied him the right to cross examination is Carl J. Nichols

He has a number of famous cases and always ruled in favor of justice I think

He allowed the case against Dominion to proceede and helped Trump in a number of ways

He is a member of the "Federalist Society" which regards the Constitution in the highest standing

So my question is:

Did Bannon just get put into protective custody quietly?

Was this planned?
