Federal Judge Rejects Bannon’s Effort To Toss Contempt Of Congress Charges

A federal judge on Wednesday refused to toss the criminal contempt of Congress case against Steve Bannon, saying that Bannon’s claims that the material the Jan. 6 committee sought was protected by executive privilege weren’t enough to dismiss the case.

Not a surprise. Like playing the national anthem at a Cubs game, just the usual ceremony before starting the main debacle.

It’s almost like some of these people have done things that are illegal and are being held accountable.

How dare those members of Congress and prosecutors and judges do such a thing to those who consider themselves waaaay above the reach of laws and rules and all those things that are just for us little people.

Bannon is guilty of Contempt of Congress. The only question to be resolved is how long is he locked up and how big is his fine.

There is no further need for discussion - lock this prick up and keep him from constantly threatening all the adults on this.

I hope everyone Bannon subpoenaed shows up and testifies. That would be freaking hilarious to watch Nancy and her attorney shred his legal team.

Btw, is that a scab on his head? Dude really needs to admit he has a problem with alcohol and seek help.

He’s a pardoned felon. Don’t need anything else as to why this shouldn’t be thrown out.

Nichols also declined to find that the Jan. 6 committee structure was invalid — countering a claim by Bannon that it improperly lacked appointees of House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), Politico noted.

:face_with_raised_eyebrow: Weak tea. You’re losing your touch, Stevie boy. If it lacked McCarthy appointees, the blame for that falls squarely upon Kev’s drooping shoulders.

Lock him up already.

Bannon thinks he’s going to show them up somehow by subpoenaing them. They may have been subpoenaed----but whether or not the judge allows them to testify is an open question.

Bannon is just engaging in a little chest-beating superiority dance, and he’ll come a cropper soon enough.
