Can anyone tell me why Bannon isn't in jail?

Poor Merrick Garland.... you know, the guy with balls the size of a peanut? WTF is this guy doing? Why isn't Bannon in jail? I haven't heard anything, except commentary by Glenn Kirschner.

Our democracy keeps taking a hit from these corrupt lil pricks. Why are we allowing it? Why is nothing being done? Where is the outcry? Does nobody give a shit anymore about the rule of law? WTF! This is so sad watching it all go down in flames.

I hate to be so negative, but what else can you call it?

... lawyers file stuff with courts and judges; then, everything is on hold. He has celebrity, connections and he's not a poor man. I know he looks like a homeless man... but that's an act.

If Merrick Garland won't act expeditiously on this case - like even faster than that - I don't think it's out of order to begin to question his actions.

On top of defending #Traitor in the E Jean Carroll case, refusal to release the unredacted Mueller report etc etc

WTF is going on. If the guilt falls on Garland, so be it. The truth is the truth. The law is the law.

So, how long has it been since Bannon defied the subpoena? In my viewpoint this should be a quick enforcement of the law. It shouldn't take 2 weeks. It shouldn't take 2 days. His happy ass should be in jail by now. Instead, this loser is out there spreading more bullshit lies. He just interviewed MTG, to which she was screaming Vax Nazi's. This shit has to stop.

I just wish the democrats would learn to play hardball, like the republicants.

LOL!! They don't do that shit here in America.

Some of us KNEW that nothing would happen. And NOTHING WILL Happen to guys like Bannon.

And it's just another reason why the Democrats will lose the House & Senate next year.
