CNN)The committee investigating the January 6 Capitol Hill riot announced Thursday it is moving forward to hold Trump ally Steve Bannon in criminal contempt for refusing to comply with a subpoena, as his game of chicken with the House panel now enters a new and critical phase.
"Mr. Bannon has declined to cooperate with the Select Committee and is instead hiding behind the former President's insufficient, blanket, and vague statements regarding privileges he has purported to invoke," Democratic Rep. Bennie Thompson, who chairs the committee, said in a statement on Thursday. Bannon was scheduled for a deposition in front of the committee on Thursday, and Bannon's lawyer wrote in a letter the day before to the panel saying that his client will not provide testimony or documents until the committee reaches an agreement with former President Donald Trump over executive privilege or a court weighs in on the matter.

Big deal. Congressional subpoenas have no teeth, it takes a year or more to go thru the hoops to try to compel someone to show up.
Guess that’s fair considering that most of us hold the entire D.C. collection O’cretins in contempt.
Eff U, D.C. Yesterday, today, tomorrow, and until the end of time.
Make sure your graves are all unmarked because we plan to take bodacious Obamas on them each and every day. That’ll reduce the stink.
I hope he hangs tough and forces their hand into doing something they will regret.

That’s an old article. Notice how it says that nothing will happen?
I remember hearing that many times in the past. That committee subpoenas have no teeth.
Do a search for “congressional subpoena ignored” and ALLLLL of the recently posted news articles say something different.
Interesting how it appears the news narrative seems to be controlled.
at this point, what difference does it make??

The ‘Committee’ will need to go to a court to issue a ruling of contempt. Bannon’s lawyers can appear and get it thrown out.
But for now, they get their giggles from the headline.
