Steve Bannon indicted on contempt charges for defying Jan. 6 subpoena

2021-11-13

[IsraelTimes] Steve Bannon, a longtime ally of former US president Donald Trump
...Perhaps no man has ever had as much fun being president of the US...
, was indicted Friday on two counts of criminal contempt of Congress after he defied a subpoena from the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection at the US Capitol.

Sometime friend, anyway. And sometimes not, or so it has appeared.

The Justice Department said Bannon, 67, was indicted on one count for refusing to appear for a deposition last month and the other for refusing to provide documents in response to the committee’s subpoena. He is expected to surrender to authorities on Monday and will appear in court that afternoon, a law enforcement official told the AP. The person was granted anonymity to discuss the case.

#11 I wonder if the members of the D.C. Police and their boss, Nancy Pelosi, realize the stakes of the game they are playing?

This is bad on so many levels.

#8 This cannot stand.

At the very least, have you picked up the phone and told members of the committee "This cannot stand.". Commenting on blogs accomplishes nothing.

Last week I called Sweeney's office and left a message that his attempt to circumvent the elections result of him loosing to the trucker candidate in NJ "WILL not stand.". Two days later this very powerful but corrupt man conceeded...

Da Ferret needs to be brought to heel ... before our American Stasi gets even more power than it already has

#4 Attorney General Merrick Garland Merrick Garland said Bannon’s indictment reflects the Justice Department’s "steadfast commitment" to ensuring that the department adheres to the rule of law.

Bullshit. Hey, Garland, how many FBI agents were at the Capitol to provoke that riot? Where is the "rule of law" for them? How about if a Congressional committee subpoenaed the DoJ for documents related to that little incident? And what about Fast and Furious? Remember that? Can we see those documents?

#3 So we're doing the "nonperson" thing, now, too?

#2 This is terrifying. It's nothing more than a political persecution. Banning has not been charged with any crime. The sixtus-Janissaries were guilty of nothing more than trespass -- and maybe lese-majeste in the form of putting their muddy boots on La Pelouse's sacred desk.

And since when does Congress have such power?

Compare this to the contempt shown for the nation by all the Deep State vermin who refused to respond to Devin Nunes' demands when he was in Congress.

This is fascism, in a Woke ferret-face. How much longer will we stand for this?
