The conservative talk show host called out House Judiciary Committee chair Jim Jordan of Ohio, House Oversight Committee chair James Comer of Kentucky and House Speaker Mike Johnson of Louisiana for not doing enough to help the MAGA cause.
"Once again. I beg of you. Where is Jim Jordan, where's Comer, where's Polly Pockets Johnson. Where are the subpoenas? Where is an investigation? Why are people not being held accountable? Why does it take [conservative activist] Mike Davis and [former Trump aide] Kash Patel and the same people over, and over, and over again. [Former Republican Nevada attorney general candidate] Sigal Chattah...Why does it take them pounding, pounding, pounding," Bannon said.

Lol!
They raise money with the talk, they have no intent to ever take action. Prove me wrong.
Jim Jordan is head of the Judiciary Committee and us therefore in charge of handling legal issues. He’s done a terrible job. You seem to not understand how Congress works.
I think he is more than that.

Speaking of fruits, you're just about seventeen years past your sell-by date.
I’ve always been fascinated by people putting some sort of weight on someone’s join date.
Then why is Comer refusing to call Lauren Merchan into Congress???
See? It's good that you have a hobby.
Sadly, being an Ohioan, I had thought Jim Jordan was actually able to be trusted as a “Conservative”. He is another Trey Gowdy, it appears; all bluster, no action, as if he is the chosen “token Conservative/Opposition” for the big $$$$-owned “Government”.
A simple majority committee vote was all it would take to Subpoena Joe’s money men and Hunter. The Republicans refused.

The Dems do it. Unified. If they have internal disagreements, I never see it. I suspect they do, but it is handled behind the scenes.
Meanwhile some Pubs can get press and optics and power (they think) by holding out for some ‘principle’ and opposing the rest of the Pubs. Hmmm It is only one or two, just enough to mess things up, and a different one or two each time.
Maybe the Pubs are more unified than I thought, and keep it behind the also.
Bring the judge’s daughter in to testify and if she doesn’t lock her up these guys are wimps
Well, Jordan has been largely safe. Just maybe there's a whiff of the "safe" pack there.
IMO, Jordan operates in a narrow zone of comfort which is productive of nothing else but his comfort, and I'm glad Bannon calls him out on it. High time someone did.
I haven't fully trusted Jordan since he voted for a little tweaking of obamacare.
The conservative movement isn't moving very well. It needs results, not fragrant opinions.
Conservatism serves up opinions and will likely continue to do nothing more, while the other side is busy escorting the First Amendment out the door. Then what?
The worse things get, the higher my standards of what makes a good conservative. And it isn't a keyboarder or a bloviator.
Jim Jordan has been in Congress for some seventeen years.
You believe in the integrity of the election, don't you.
Some of us are past that. Come to the light.
Except for the "seem to be" (and the apostrophe), this is utterly correct. If people only accepted this premise we would be in fighting mode, but nobody wants trouble. Therefore we're bound to get it good and hard.
Maybe Jordan, Comer, and Speaker Johnson do not want to end up like Donald Trump?
USA Democrats have made it very clear they will destroy your reputation, destroy your income, and put you in prison if you obstruct or criticize them!
I don’t think they’re bought either. They are just weak people who talk a lot about obvious problems but do nothing about them. Lots of rhetoric, no results. Typical Republicans.
“Jim’s my Rep and I’m highly disappointed in him.”
************
Its not just Jim and a few others. Its the entirety of the party. The GOP is useless.
“To be honest, they don’t have the power to do anything but hold hearings.”
***************
When they have the power they still don’t do anything. At those times they could wield the power of the purse, but they refuse to do it. They just keep feeding Fedzilla.
Need new party—let GOP go the way of Whigs!
*************
Absolutely. Those who think the GOP will change or can be reformed are delusional.
Name one GOP Congressional committee that has ever caused financial pain or incarceration for any person investigated by such committee?
You can not!!
