[Stuffshot]

Steve Bannon was indicted on two counts of contempt of Congress, 2 USC 192:

Apparently, the penalty for each count is only a maximum fine of $1,000 and a maximum sentence of one year in jail.

Stephen K. Bannon Indicted for Contempt of Congress

Stephen K. Bannon was indicted today by a federal grand jury on two counts of contempt of Congress stemming from his failure to comply with a subpoena issued by the House Select Committee investigating the Jan. 6 breach of the U.S. Capitol.

www.justice.gov

I found nothing yet that says the court can order a convicted defendant to comply with the subpoenas that led to the charges.

Furthermore, these charges are hardly ever successful or even filed -- the last conviction for such charges was, wait for it, G. Gordon Liddy in 1974:

Bannon 1st Person Charged with Contempt of Congress Since 1983

Former White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon was indicted by a grand jury in November 2021.

www.snopes.com

Liddy received a suspended six-month sentence for each count and apparently refused to ever testify about his role in Watergate, despite his conviction.

There just are not enough teeth in this statute, and Bannon will drag this out for months. It will be surprising if Bannon ever testifies or coughs up documents from these subpoenas, unless other charges are added.

I wish they would.

I'm sure Bannon would be welcome any time to testify under oath...looks like Bannon is scared of the truth.

Maybe the US Department of Wet Puppy Relief and Pothole Repair could help.

But no matter what, state and local police should be disbanded in favor of Congress doing EVERYTHING and punishing people of the opposing party without checks or balances. THAT makes for good government. Otherwise, Ms. Lincoln might but too many place settings.

It would help if the party would take out their own trash instead of looking the other way

What do you propose the GOP “do” “to” O’Bannon? Be specific. Tell HOW. (Don’t care about why.)

If Bannon were truly so scary, he wouldn't look so much like Rob Ryan

That look has already been taken.

 

[Stuffshot]

What oath?

When you testify, you have to take this thing called an oath to tell the truth,

Bannon doesn't seem to know what any of those words mean.

Somebody said it a few years ago, and I've always remembered it since, that Bannon reminds them on those extreme gross zoom-ins from the Ren and Stimpy cartoon.

But Bannon is making money being Bannon (or, at least, acting like a Bannon), right?

Why wouldn't he be a Republican (or, at least, claiming to be a Republican), right?

 

[outside shooter]

Bannon was not part of the administration, so this executive privilege argument is utter nonsense, and GOP can't really do anything to control him.

They certainly could try to control nutjobs like Gozart, Bobert, and MTG though. And yes, the Dems did criticize and force apologies/clarifications from Talib when she said nutjob things.

Maybe because they haven't done anything that would put them in jail.

According to republicans, you don't impeach, you let the courts take care of it....except now they think the courts shouldn't take care of it
