Did this take too long?

Possibly.

Most definitely.

Am I hopeful that this is just the beginning?

I hope Mark Meadows is next.

Attorney general Merrick Garland said the indictment of Steve Bannon demonstrated the justice department’s commitment to “equal justice under the law”.

“Since my first day in office, I have promised Justice Department employees that together we would show the American people by word and deed that the department adheres to the rule of law, follows the facts and the law and pursues equal justice under the law,” Garland said in a statement.

“Today’s charges reflect the department’s steadfast commitment to these principles.”

Heh-indeedy.

Watch for a firestorm of hysterical distraction from TFG. Bannon has the receipts and Don knows he’ll flip before he does time.

I feel like Ray Liotta in Goodfellas after he found out about the Lufthansa airport heist. Just replace Jimmy with Merrick. JIMMY!

Hope he gets some “diversity” roommates in the hoosegow. He wants institutions to fail, so let him get his ass kicked in a failing rapey hellhole of a federal dungeon. It’s the type of justice that fascists like him want …for other people.

Do it before he moves in with Glenn Greenwald in Brazil.
