The House voted 229-202 on Thursday to hold Steve Bannon in contempt of Congress after refusing to comply with a subpoena to testify before the select committee probing the January 6 Capitol attack. Nine Republicans joined all 220 Democrats in the lower chamber to pass the measure, which was brought to the floor after the 1/6 commission and House Rules Committee voted earlier this week to bring the matter to the full body. Along with GOP panel members Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger, the seven other Republicans who voted for the measure are
This angers the hell out of me!

The nine Republicans, running dogs of socialist Democrat Communists, deserve to be primaried in 2022.

This is the last straw - I voted for Nancy Mace last year but she will never get my vote again. She’s a traitor.

BTW, when is congress going to hold Eric Holder in contempt for ignoring subpoenas? (Rhetorical question of course - he has the melanin get out of trouble free card.)

I am sure Kevin McCarthy is fine with this too. The GOP establishment is with the Democrats on this one.

And how many subpoenas have the Republicans ever issued, and had enforced? None. That's right.

From the article #4....Besides Liz & Adam here are the otheres: ~~"Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania; Anthony Gonzalez of Ohio; Herrera Beutler of Washington; John Katko of New York; Nancy Mace of South Carolina; and Peter Meijer and Fred Upton of Michigan.
The only representative who did not cast a vote on Thursday was Indiana Republican Congressman Greg Pence, the brother of Trump's Vice President Mike Pence."~~

Does the DOJ really want Steve Bannon and his cadre of top lawyers paid for by Miles Guo to stand trial for criminal contempt? Do they want him to produce all the evidence of what really happened between the WH lawyers and Mike Pence to honor the letters from the state legislatures begging to delay the certification? Do they want to have the hours of podcast material played showing his repeated efforts to promote a peaceful exercise of free speech on Jan 6? Do they want to have all the cell phone video played in court showing the Capitol Police ushering into the building the guy in the buffalo headress or of the unarmed Ashlii Babbett getting shot at point blank range by a shaking Capitol Police officer? Bannon would make this the show trial of the century and the media would have to cover it or look like even bigger fools than they already are. Alan Dershowitz would get another few hours of fame to trash the government for their attack on free speech.
It would be great if they actually put him in jail so he could start sending out "Podcasts from a Birmingham Jail" reports. The only thing that would make Bannon even more influential than he is now is to make him a martyr.

The leftist and socialist Democrats have been after Bannon from the get-go, so what do you expect that Biden appointed DC US Attorney will do?

These political prosecutions/persecutions have to stop. The Democrats just won't let it go. Something dramatic needs to be done, like total refusal to comply with any of their subpoenas and investigations, mass boycotts and work stoppages, and civil disobedience on a large scale.
No democracy can survive if one side is continually attacking the other using the full powers of the federal bureaucracy.

Progressive fascists do not all carry the Democrat label.
I am reminded of Mae West’s line in “My Little Chickadee”. When asked by the tinhorn judge if she was showing contempt for his “court”, West’s character replied “No, your honor, I’m trying to hide it”.

Michiganders! We need to get some good conservatives to primary Meijer and Upton! I, for one, will never vote for either again. They both voted for Trump's impeachment as well.
