Representative Thomas Massie has stepped forward with a proposition that could potentially halt Steve Bannon’s impending imprisonment.
His plan involves urging Speaker Mike Johnson to rescind the congressional subpoena issued against Bannon and to formally disavow what he refers to as the “J6 witch hunt.”
This development follows a recent decision by a Washington, D.C. judge to deny Bannon’s appeal, mandating him to surrender to prison by July 1.
The decision, handed down by United States District Court Judge Carl Nichols, rejected Bannon’s plea to stay his sentence while he prepares to take his appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Bannon’s conviction was based on his noncompliance with a subpoena from the sham House committee investigating the events of January 6, an act he defended by citing President Trump’s assertion of executive privilege.

Bannon’s staunch refusal to provide documents was supported by arguments that such executive privileges have been upheld for over 250 years, tracing back to the presidency of George Washington.
Mike Davis, a former clerk for Justice Gorsuch and a regular on Bannon’s show “War Room,” emphasized last month, “Presidents must receive candid advice from their advisors without the fear of congressional repercussions or imprisonment.”
In response to this situation, Rep. Massie suggested that Speaker Mike Johnson could play a pivotal role in preventing Bannon’s imprisonment.
He wrote on social media, “Mike Johnson, Why don’t we rescind the Congressional subpoena for Steve Bannon and officially repudiate the J6 committee by a vote of Congress?”

His situation really broke my heart.
I saw him speak after a day in court, standing on the steps.
This was after he was arrested boarding the plane.
He had told agents he was at their disposal and any time they needed him for anything, to just call him & he would be down to their office as he was very close by.
He stated what those agents did was all for a grand show and that they didnt have to go to such an extreme. It was very upsetting to him .
Johnson was summoned by Pelosi, she wants him to run things by her and Chuckles before he makes any decisions as SOTH. This is true and she recently complained he wasnt doing this , like a beaten down dog compliant.
All one can do is hope that Johnson resists the influence of those two corrupt indivifuald.
Nanny may not carry the gavel anymore but dont doubt the amount of power she wields because shes still running the show unseen. I bet you she has threatened him, too, that haggard fishwife
Navarro will be out in a few weeks.
Wow, I’d sure hate to have my personal freedom hinge on the whim of Mike Johnson.
Doctor say Lone Ranger gonna die.
Johnson works for the democrats. No way he will do this.
Hahahahahahahaha! Makes me grin even to think of it.
Now there was a real gentleman. He never failed to compliment a woman’s beaver.
FAKE J6 Committee fraud and destruction of records
BUMP!
The man has brought many a smile to my face!
