Bannon to plead not guilty to contempt charges

One-time White House strategist Steve Bannon moved to plead not guilty Wednesday to criminal contempt of Congress charges after he failed to comply with a subpoena from the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.

Bannon was indicted by a federal grand jury Friday, facing two counts: one for failing to appear for an Oct. 14 deposition before the panel and another for refusal to provide documents.

Is contempt of a contemptable, despicable, corrupt congress a crime or a service to America?

I really didn’t know that Congress was a court. I thought they were an investigation committee not judges and jurors.
