In a Jan. 5 podcast, Bannon said,"All hell is going to break loose tomorrow. ... So many people said, 'Man, if I was in a revolution, I would be in Washington.' Well, this is your time in history." and documents about what he knew about the riot, with his lawyer arguing he shouldn't have to comply because Trump might try to claim executive privilege.

Arrest him w/o cameras. Just tell us when he's in jail.

And what? This process is exhausting. These people have to respect to the law. If you didn’t do anything, why hide

And all the doj will do is deceptively sweep it under the rug while the senate nullifies the resolution. All a part of the republican and democrats deceptive plan.

Now do Fauci

Why is this getting the coverage it is for a criminal who is breaking the law by disobeying a subpeona? Just go pick him up and lock him up like anyone else would be...Time for Trump and Company to pay the piper for their disregard for the law

There will be no prosecution..or anything else. It is Trumps Justice Department.

He should be held in contempt

sahilkapur Am I seeing this correctly? 201 republicans are voting to allow Bannon to give them the middle finger? They are the weakest Republican caucus in my lifetime.

Exposing the other inmates to Steve bannon is cruel and unusual punishment

If this was you or me we'd be in jail by now.

Uh oh

sahilkapur Bannon claiming executive privilege is quite telling. He would have had to have been in direct contact with Trump discussing the planning of the Insurrection. Bingo, got him

LETSSS GOOO! No one left to pardon him this time

Sorry Merrick Garland you have to do a thing for work again.

Witch Hunt; Bannon did not even talk to Trump. Thank you for making movement stronger. He should be FBI director in the next administration.

The law and order party just got law and ordered!😂

most likely it ends here. season finale.

Witch Hunt

GOOD!!!
