The partisan, Trump-hating House committee investigating the J6 Capitol riot/parade voted unanimously Tuesday to hold former White House aide Steve Bannon in contempt of Congress after the longtime ally of former President Donald Trump defied a subpoena for documents and testimony.
Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney, one of two fake Republicans on the committee, came out with a non-sequitur: “Mr. Bannon’s and Mr. Trump’s privilege arguments do appear to reveal one thing, however: They suggest that President Trump was personally involved in the planning and execution of January 6th. And we will get to the bottom of that.”
How does she come up with that? If they defend themselves, it proves they’re guilty?
Of course, they have to fight this. The entire purpose of this committee is to hurt Republicans up to the 2022 and 2024 elections.
Their case is that Bannon planned the rally and communicated with Trump. How that equates to the small number who rioted out of hundreds of thousands of peaceful protesters is unclear. Most who entered the Capitol ‘paraded.’
The Trump advisors who were subpoenaed are asserting Executive Privilege, and so is Bannon. Bannon is the one with the weakest argument since he wasn’t working in the administration at the time.
WITCH HUNT
This entire committee is a witch hunt looking to tie Donald Trump into the planning of the riot/parade with zero evidence. Merrick Garland and Christopher Wray are corrupt and will arrest and prosecute. Expect a middle-of-the-night raid with CNN reporters snapping pictures. One day, these Beria-style freaks will have people digging their own graves.
While Bannon has said he needs a court order before complying with his subpoena, former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows and former White House and Pentagon aide Kashyap Patel have been negotiating with the committee. It is unclear whether a fourth former White House aide, Dan Scavino, will comply.
The committee has also subpoenaed more than a dozen people who helped plan Trump rallies ahead of the siege, and some of them are already turning over documents and giving testimony.
TRUMP SUES
The vote came a day after Trump sued the committee and the National Archives to fight the release of documents the committee has requested.
Trump’s lawsuit, filed after Biden said he’d allow the documents’ release, states that the panel’s August request was overly broad and a “vexatious, illegal fishing expedition.”
The Biden administration, in clearing the documents for release, said the violent siege of the Capitol more than nine months ago was such an extraordinary circumstance that it merited waiving the privilege that usually protects White House communications.
And what SIEGE? It was a riot and in many cases, people were ushered in by the police and merely paraded around.
Donald Trump issued a statement about it today:
If you want to see a real insurrection, look at Deb Haaland’s group on this link.
Just for laughs, remember this?

This Committee is nothing more than the Big Cover-up The bottom line to J6 was President Trump offered National Guard troops to The Congress and Pelosi / Schumer turned them down. J6 happened because the Democrats wanted it to happened, planned it, and Government operatives executed it.
The senate leader on January 6th was the corrupt coward, national betrayer, China Mitch. He had some authority over security arrangements, not Schumer. Mitch was involved in the election coup. He was at the podium playing a hero when the members were escorted away in a planned event. It was theatrics. Then, he called Trump an insurrectionist.
The setup of FBI agents and leftist provocateurs at the capital building to simulate the riot was not planned by the democratic party, though they were involved. It was an Intel operation.
The key to J6 was Pelosi refusing the National Guard Troops offered by President Trump. If the Troops where there J6 could not happen.
Bolshevik enemedia said he would ignore it?
It worked during the Obama years and we’re all equal while in this together. (sarc)
That only works for those who are a little more equal.
