Steve Bannon indicted for contempt of Congress in Jan. 6 investigation Steve Bannon was indicted by a federal grand jury for defying a subpoena from the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. The announcement comes weeks after the former White House chief strategist declined to cooperate with congressional investigators, citing former President Donald Trump's claims of executive privilege. The assertions of executive privilege are being cut down by the Biden administration as well as the courts and add pressure on other allies of Trump to comply with the House panel's subpoenas.----------------------------------------------------- No one should be getting indicted until the executive privilege appeals play out, IMO.
Dems are playing a dicey game here. Setting this kind of precedent is all fine and dandy for them. As long as they don't wake up some day in November of next year and find out that they don't control the House anymore. COULD HAPPEN, EH? It will get interesting from there. Among many other things, Durhams findings will be out in full by then probably, and Dems will have ignored it and moved on. But the pubs having a majority and with a full precedent of enforcing contempt citations? Blood in the water for them. Some republicans, one that I know of in particular, a congresswoman from New York, not Elise, said she voted in favor of that or another contempt citation for just that very reason. She wanted to establish that precedent and then take the house. MORE TO COME.
Are you out of your mind? For how long do you want this giant political shit-show to play out?!? For fuck's sake, it seems you WANT this all to get dragged out, so by the time the nominations come, Trump will again get to reassert exec privilege, because he is the GOP candidate. Or some dipshit theory like that. Will you just kinda and quietly have a steaming hearty cup of STFU? You really are insinuating that you want the USA to fail. You are an insurrectionist by putting even the SLIGHTEST bit of backing behind holding back an investigation into Trump. How old are you? Fer fuck's sake!!!
Can't put the toothpaste back into the tube after there is testimony. Bannon and Meadows are correct to wait for a final ruling.
