These people have no boundaries.


They have bipartisan top cover. Why should they? The GOP has greenlit every bit of this op.

Every sitting GOP Congressperson is still caucusing with Lizard Cheney. Let that sink in. Not a one has walked out.

Which Red State will be the first to offer Bannon asylum, and tells the Feds to kiss off or come and get him, if they dare?

Why should Bannon participate in a Marxist show trial? It doesn’t matter what he says.They’re running the impeachment hoax game plan here. The Dems will just make stuff up and leak it.

Yeah. I know. That’s why I made the comment.

That’s what’s known as “contemptuous irony”.

Welcome to the American Stasi. I have nothing BUT contempt for the RINOs you mentioned, the FBI, the DOJ, and all current members of the executive branch, judicial branch, and Congress (with the exception of a few outstanding patriots there).

Steve Bannon should beat the Corrupt FBI at their own game by going to the nearest Office and turning himself in so that those FBI Idiots don’t break into his home at 0500 hours and disturb his neighbors.

I’m sure that CNN will be there ahead of time with cameras and klieg lights otherwise.

“All hell is going to break loose tomorrow,” he said on the program.......

This statement is the basis for the house subpoena? I’ve heard similar from sports announcers.

I don’t know how Trump can extend exec privilege to someone who got fired 3 years before Jan 6.

Bannon’s a smart guy. He should have testified and made the house committee look like the idiots they are.

“The fact that the Justice Department was willing to charge him with criminal contempt, despite an assertion of executive privilege, may help persuade other reluctant witnesses to agree to cooperate with the committee’s investigation.”

This is what the ChiComs do.

It’s called killing the chicken to scare the monkey.

This illegitimate cartel is full on despotic.

Testimony would be behind closed doors like the impeachment hoax. The Marxists will leak and shape the narrative. Nothing to be gained here. Bannon is doing the correct thing.

Frankly, I’m surprised they haven’t been waiting outside his house or wherever he is (along with their press buddies) for this moment.

"Bannon has not committee a crime."

Yes he did, and if he gets an Dem judge, he will be in jail for a few months. He should have shown up and given a belligerent and generally unpleasant deposition. Simply refusing to show up both makes you look guilty, and makes for an easy prosecution.

2 U.S. Code § 192 - Refusal of witness to testify or produce papers

U.S. Code

Every person who having been summoned as a witness by the authority of either House of Congress to give testimony or to produce papers upon any matter under inquiry before either House, or any joint committee established by a joint or concurrent resolution of the two Houses of Congress, or any committee of either House of Congress, willfully makes default, or who, having appeared, refuses to answer any question pertinent to the question under inquiry, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of not more than $1,000 nor less than $100 and imprisonment in a common jail for not less than one month nor more than twelve
