'Biden ordered Garland to prosecute me and this will be the misdemeanor from hell': Steve Bannon tears into Democrats and Nancy Pelosi as he is RELEASED without bail after appearing in court for defying his January 6 subpoena

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Former Trump strategist Steve Bannon lashed out at President Joe Biden and promised to go on offense after appearing before a judge on criminal contempt charges on Monday afternoon.

'I'm never gonna back down and they they took on the wrong guy this time,' he told a throng of waiting journalists.

Bannon, 67, is the first person to face criminal charges in the congressional probe into the role played by former President Trump and his aides in the runup to the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol as they sought to overturn election results.

He faces two misdemeanour charges of contempt of Congress for refusing to respond to a House subpoena.

'This is going to be the misdemeanour from hell for Merrick Garland, Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden,' he said after his first court appearance.

'Joe Biden ordered Merrick Garland to prosecute me from the White House lawn when he got off Marine One, and we're going to go on the offence.

'We're tired of playing defense.'

As might be expected from one of Trump's top propagandists, he used the media attention to deliver his verdict on the case against him - after earlier livestreaming the moment he gave himself up to the FBI.

Bannon, 67, is one of more than 30 people close to the former president who have been ordered by the House select committee to testify about what happened in the run-up to the deadly attack.

#1 Texas State Rep. Ryan Guillen, a longtime Democrat, is switching over to the Republican Party, announcing that “many of us are waking up to the fact that the values of those in Washington, DC, are not our values, not the values of most Texans.”

#4 A "Come to Jesus" moment for Guillen or he can tell with his finger which way the wind is blowing? Keep an eye on how he votes henceforth

#6 I would have showed up, make a long drawn out statement for the record. Then announce my Constitutional Right not answer questions.

Just like a bunch of Obama and Clinton staff pulled.

I am sure many feel it is clear that the goal of this Administration and too many members of this Congress is to negate Constitutional Rights as needed to accomplish their deeper hidden agenda goals.

#8 So "contempt of Congress" is a crime? I think that a lot of Rantburgers (including me) are in big trouble.

#9 "deadly attack" ... does that include the young lady that was shot and killed as she entered the congress?

#10 Some of the party switching may be real changes, apparently quite a few of the democrats here in the state were unhappy that Biden basically allowed a massive flood of illegals in. Quite a few of the legal immigrants here are quite annoyed by that too. When it's you getting thrown to the wolves, sometimes you decide that maybe you have to grow up.

#11 Unless "deadly attack" refers to Michael L Boyd's killing of Ashli Babbitt, that phrase is a libelous accusation.

When will we make it possible for victims of this tsunami of slander and libel to sue and win in our courts?

#12 Bannon should watch his back, avoid Fort Marcy park and remember what they did to Breitbart. If this case ever goes to trial and it unravels like the case against Rittenhouse, Biden and Garland and Obama will not appreciate being embarrassed.

#13 Guillan switch is what happens when you flood a border state with illegals, refuse to distribute Covid vaccines to anyone (Republican or Democrat) because it is Texas, and attack the oil industry which employs Republicans and Democrats, etc. etc. etc..
