'My fear is that Steve Bannon will simply litigate this, appeal it all the way to the Supreme Court, and then 2 years later will get a decision and he can run the clock out,' Rep. Lieu says in support of new legislation he introduced on 'inherent contempt'

Roses4noses The AG is worthless.

As long as people allow this corruption to go on the worse it is for our society!

Lock him up

LetsGoBrandon

If that happens and I hope it will, Well! I say to Mr. Lieu Ha, Ha, and another Ha to you.

Arrest him!

My fear is that HouseDemocrats don't comprehend it's time for action even if it means civil war.

Would we know if a grand jury has been empaneled ?

Lieu you must dream about TRUMP at night

Does it have anything to do with the over run border? Inflation? Empty shelves? Jobs left unfilled? Chinas advances? Just asking for a friend

CNN nytimes Exactly! Bannon should not be allowed to do this. Every legislation & trick in the books that he can use should be mitigated & be made to face the full consequence of the law. And with a right wing SCOTUS there is no guarantee that the decision would not be partisan

So, how does normal American citizens go about getting this same privilege that all these ppl are getting? I've never heard of so, much litigation, refusals, etc. Our life is you do the crime, you do the time. Periodt. 🤷🏽‍♀️

lol

UROCKlive1 Oh, and get another pardon when the next trumpublican gets in office due to their scheming...

then use Inherent Contempt of Congress and act NOW. See JusticeMatters

The Dems always believe their Rep “friends” are always dealing in good faith. They never deal in good faith. Dems are so naive.

all special news

Because that’s exactly what will happen… kinda of like when 82 million voted for YOU to do your job … kinda like when 25 million marched to get rid of bad cops and nothing happened… kinda like we thought YOU were smart enough to tell Biden that Merrick is obviously in on 1/6

Intentionally delaying the justice system should be stopped. How many average, every day citizens can delay a contempt of court citation?

It's not a fear Congressman, that's the plan..

These Democrats better stop the patty caking with these criminals or the base will give up on them. Enthusiasm is already low and headed lower. Start with Garland who must be replaced ASAP with an AG that will do their job and honor their constitutional oath !

'My fear' is he will follow the law and legal protections to defend himself.....

One only needs to see The Godfather II to remember how powerful these select committees used to be.

Rep Lieu has promulgated this bullshit before. I don't know what his problem is. He never answers as to why they can't enforce inherent contempt right now.

Until Rep Lieu’s legislation passes, it’s probably not in the best interest of anyone but Bannon to give out ideas or helpful hints on how to circumvent any charges looming against him.

With these cast of characters, y'all know who they are, our system of congressional oversight, diligence or lack thereof of the DOJ, Office of the Special Counsel cannot deal w/ the corruption of the Executive Branch that this country has experienced from 2017 to 2020.

tedlieu Isn't the job of the US House of Representatives and the US Senate to hold the US Supreme Court accountable? Back in 2019, we, survivors of sex crimes and domestic violence, asked you to investigate Kavanaugh's ethics violations. What's the update?

The committee could have used inherent contempt to enforce contempt rulings under its own constitutional authority -- why didn't they? They knew, just as all of us did, that their subpoenas would be ignored. It's not like this is the first time.

Yea, hope so.

Stall, stall, stall...thats bannons strategy...learned it from his master,trump! It works very well if you have money to do it. Most americans dont have money to bog down the courts so they go to prison...its a question of 'how much justice can you afford'? America,2021!

Hopeful there is paper trail in the White House that ends his legal appeals. If he goes that way..

Of course Bannon will try to run out the clock. But Congress/Dems could have and still can bring a civil case to enforce rather than trying to politicize DOJ. Do you want a ruling or not?

all the more reason for the Dems to come out of their so called woke state and fight for voter integrity to get more people to vote and to ensure that the votes get counted and accepted.

That is Exactly what they are doing

They need to create a new legislative court that would decide these issues.

File this under “things that should’ve happened 6 months ago”

Guantanamo him. You CANNOT legislate this as long as his party is still in power. IT. WILL. NOT. WORK. Eliminate the threats, THEN legislate.

Garland not in any rush to charge, if he will charge. He's turning out to be a stiff.

Rep. Lieu, like Rep. Swalwell, gets it. You have to out think these criminals.

Every achievement begins with the decision to try, ignorance destroys so many opportunities. I'm a victim but I was convinced by the right investment company platform Tatiana_alek

Seems contempt of Congress should come with an immediate arrest. Nobody is taking traitorous activities seriously.

I'd like to see who would be footing the bill, wouldn't you?

It’s ridiculous that this isn’t already in place.

tedlieu this is fucking nonsense! If they broke the law they need to be held accountable NOW! This entire system is a freaking JOKE! TheJusticeDept is worthless if they don’t prosecute!

Rep. Ted Lieu INHERENT CONTEMPT POWER, a Congress authority recognized by the Supreme Court as inextricably related to Congress’s constitutionally-based power to investigate. A Congress rule that must be implemented soon, to stop GOP insurrections. nytimes CNN thehill

MalcolmNance Lock him up!! WTF is happening in America?!!!

MERRITT GARLAND!!!!!!

Biden’s fault

We need AG Garland to appoint SallyQYates as Special Prosecutor for all the referrals that will come out of the 1/6 HUAC. She was fired by Trump because she was incorruptible. She deserves to return the favor in kind. RepTedLieu RepAdamSchiff JerryNadler SpeakerPelosi

Bannon's defense is non-existent.

Arrest him

That's the plan from the top. Run the clock, hope the GOP takes the house and Senate and they will sweep everything back under the rug

You should start making some arrest and stop talking. Your telling the world how tuff you are but its the oppositie where seeing.

ANTIFA and BLM burn churches, burn police station, block streets, smash cars, rob shops...but no one gets investigated. What a double standard!

Rep. Jones: ‘Expulsion has to be on the table' for lawmakers involved in Jan. 6“Expulsion has to be on the table. It is one of the most severe consequences if not the most serious consequence that congress can engage in. And it is, I think, appropriate in such an instance,” says Rep. Mondaire Jones on members of Congress’ potential involvement in January 6. There is no question those involved, and those supporting Jan 6 should be expelled. But how can this happen when the offenders are over half of 1 party. GOP now ignores laws and disrespects our gov. Dems can’t do it alone, who has the authority? This is unprecedented 'i'm afraid that expulsion is the only answer' TransWorldSKATE what 411vm episode was that song on where the guy Manuel the serpent block LockThemAllUp ExpelMarjorieTaylorGreene ExpelAndArrest ExpelGOPTraitorsNow
