Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) said Friday hopes that Steve Bannon’s indictment for failing to comply with the committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol sends a “chilling message."

A federal grand jury indicted one-time White House adviser to former President Trump on Friday for two charges of contempt of Congress for failing to appear for an Oct. 14 deposition before the panel and for refusing to provide documents.

"Kinzinger and Cheney need their asses thrown out of the GOP."

Plenty more than just those two need to go, but the problem is, they never truly get rid of RINOS, because if they're removed, another one or two, will be elected, and you're back in the same boat as before. It's a revolving door.

“Don’t forget about Laura Lerner...]

I think that was Lois Lerner. The IRS head who used her position to attack those she disagreed with politically.

It really is time to cull the DC herd, politically speaking.

Kinzinger is a traitorous POS! In his case, I hope I get the opportunity to speak ill of the dead. Rot in hell Adam.

Kinsinger is a weasel! He is certainly not a Republican. You cannot even call him a Rino, morelikely you would call him a Rat.

Republicans were never serious about prosecuting him?

The Obama administration was not Republican...

Yeah - I doubt that would happen today since the government is loaded with communists.

But big reason Bannon will skate is because he can claim executive privilege. Executive privilege is a very big deal because the delegation of powers doctrine. The three branches are meant to balance each other out - so they make it difficult for one branch to prosecute another.

That’s the same reason impeachment rarely leads to removal. The better solution is to let the voters settle it in the next election.

Which works fine until they start stealing elections.

Forcing Kinzinger to accept the reality he has ZERO chance of being re-elected to anything ( Kinzinger's NOT running again) should sent a chilling message to out RINO turncoats ..
