Bannon just gave the finger to the 1/6 investigation.

[Cattledog]

And the committee won't do anything.

[global1]

1. Have We Gotten A Statement From The Committee On This Yet?....

What is their response to Bannon's middle finger?

[MineralMan]

3. No, there has been no statement yet.

This doom and gloom is premature.

[malaise]

8. Last night Whitehouse was on Rachel

I loved when he mentioned Grand Juries - that is all.
There will be consequences and I'm ignoring all those who keep saying nothing will happen.

[MineralMan]

10. The Doom and Gloom Brigade...

[hamsterjill]

16. The doom and gloom is substantiated by past history.

The cheering section is premature.

[PatSeg]

32. Yes, too many people are now programmed

to a "doom and gloom" mentality. That the republicans and Trump will always outmaneuver Democrats. I understand where that comes from, but it certainly is self-defeating. Meanwhile, the mainstream media will pick up on it, amplifying and reinforcing it.

[MineralMan]

2. And you know nothing will be done exactly how?

Please expand on your post and let us know how you know that, OK?

This all happened yesterday. It's a little early to write off the committee, I think.

[Raven123]

4. I agree. I suspect they anticipated this and have a plan.

[wryter2000]

13. Rick Wilson has tweeted

That he's made calls and learned nothing will be done. I'm not taking that as gospel, but he hasn't been wrong since he stopped supporting Republicans. I hope the chairman of the committee will come out and tell us what will be done about this. The refusals are certainly no surprise.

You're probably wondering if wryter2000 has gone 'round the bend. Not yet.

[MineralMan]

15. He's full of crap, that one.

Another gloom and doomer.

[kentuck]

17. We expect the Committee to be unanimous ...

but that might not be the case?

[wryter2000]

18. Does it have to be unanimous?

I can't imagine it wouldn't be, but if someone on the committee disagrees, so what? I just hope there's an announcement soon. We don't need anymore "Dems do nothing!" around here.

Do they need a public hearing to act on this?

[PatSeg]

33. I think Rick Wilson could be having a bad day

or he's just trying to be provocative to light a fire under Democrats.

[hamsterjill]

20. And you know something will be done exactly how?

Please expand on your post and let us know how you know that?

If this were an ordinary citizen. He/she would already be in jail. Why is Bannon any different?

I want action but past history indicates that nothing will be done. I’ll be quite happy to be surprised and will happily admit my mistake when I see Bannon in handcuffs.

[MineralMan]

21. I don't know, but I am not predicting what will or won't be done.

I'm not making predictions, because I don't have enough information. I highly recommend that course of action for those who feel the need to tell us what will happen before they have any information.

Yes I do.

[hamsterjill]

25. So you don't know any more than the posters saying nothing will happen?

That’s what I thought.

Please let me know when something of substance happens to these traitors. I’ll wait…

[SoCalDavidS]

28. We're Doom & Gloom Because We've Seen This Movie Before

Perhaps it's those that are predicting a different ending should be the ones questioned about why they feel that way.

Or we could just keep moving the goalposts and making excuses for why nothing is happening.

[hamsterjill]

31. Thank you.

I get tired of the cheerleaders. I live in reality, and the reality is that nothing has happened nor will likely happen now to Bannon or any of them.

If that makes me gloom and doom, then so be it. It's how it is right now.

[LeftInTX]

29. Doesn't look like they can do much

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contempt_of_Congress

[AllaN01Bear]

5. i also thought that the chair put on notice yesterday that they would be arrested?

[AZSkiffyGeek]

7. I don't think it was completely cut and dried

But it certainly implied it. But hey, a Republican hatchet man said they won't so that's a good enough source for some here.

[Claustrum]

9. You mean the statement that says "can be" arrested but not "will be" or "would be"?

Can be just mean they might..... not that they will or would.

[JohnSJ]

6. Link?

[MineralMan]

11. There is no link.

It's just doom and glooming.

[JohnSJ]

22. oops, I think I found the link

[MineralMan]

23. LOL!

[louis-t]

12. He's daring them to arrest him.

Then he'll play the victim and beg tfg to pardon him.

[MineralMan]

14. TFG Can't Pardon Anyone.

[louis-t]

19. He thinks he can. Just like he thinks he has

executive privilege.

[MineralMan]

24. Clearly, he is delusional.

[rso]

26. Bannon

The Congress’ “inherent contempt” authority, while old and not used in a long time, is the only effective Avenue at this point. The Sergeant at Arms can lock up Bannon and the others, and the seditionists can then appeal their detention in Federal Court. Enough is enough.

[SoCalDavidS]

30. Not Holding My Breath nt

[rso]

34. Bannon et al

Unfortunately, I agree that dems don’t have the fortitude to use “inherent contempt”.

[Thomas Hurt]

27. There is a process, but expect Bannon to sue, lie and obstruct all the way.

They need to get him under oath and ask him how much of the money he conned people out for the wall went into the insurrection.
