How's the Bannon criminal contempt referral going

[malaise]

Let's go Dems - lock him the fuck up!

1. He hasn't failed to appear for his deposition yet.

There's no point in holding him in contempt for not producing documents that they probably already have, since that would just give him a defense. Wait until he doesn't show, then bust him.

2. I was listening to Bill Maher

over the weekend and he mentioned that Eric Holder and Janet Reno ignored subpoenas that Congress issued in the past. Anyone know if that's true?

4. yes it's true for Holder at least.

It was for the fast and furious thing. I believe he did comply at the end.

5. Yes, they both were held in contempt of Congress.

Janet Reno:

H. Rept. 105-728 - CONTEMPT OF CONGRESS

Eric Holder:

H. Rept. 112-546 - RESOLUTION RECOMMENDING THAT THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES FIND ERIC H. HOLDER, JR., ATTORNEY GENERAL, U.S. DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, IN CONTEMPT OF CONGRESS FOR REFUSAL TO COMPLY WITH A SUBPOENA DULY ISSUED BY THE COMMITTEE ON OVERSIGHT AND GOVERNMENT REFORM
112th Congress (2011-2012)

Nothing else happened.

6. It isn't a stretch to think that "nothing else" will happen this time either.

[Fiendish Thingy]

3. Post again after Thursday- that's when he's due to testify. Nt
