A DC grand jury indicted former Trump Chief Strategist Steve Bannon on Friday afternoon for refusing to comply with a subpoena from the House January 6 Committee.
The crooks indicted Steve Bannon over the January 6th witch hunt today.
What a disgrace.
Vacuous AG Merrick Garland released a statement on Friday afternoon.
Put Bannon with the January 6th political prisoners at the DC Gulag?
For the record — Former AG Eric Holder was held in contempt of Congress in 2012 but was not indicted.
Only Trump supporters get indicted in our post-constitutional nation.
CNBC reported:
A federal grand jury indicted former Trump advisor Steve Bannon on Friday on charges of contempt of Congress that stemmed from his refusal to comply with a subpoena from House lawmakers investigating the deadly Capitol riot.
Bannon, 67, faces two counts of contempt of Congress for refusing to provide documents to the congressional investigators and refusing to sit for a deposition, the Department of Justice said in a press release.
“Today’s charges reflect the Department’s steadfast commitment to these principles,” Attorney General Merrick Garland said in the statement.
A lawyer for Bannon told the House select committee in October that he would not comply with its subpoena because former President Donald Trump had instructed him not to produce any documents or testimony “concerning privileged material.”
