Conservative media personality Steve Bannon suggested on Friday on his War Room program that some House Republican lawmakers are bought by big donors. Bannon, who served as the White House chief strategist under the Trump administration, told his listeners on Friday that there needs to be investigations into the criminal proceedings of former President Donald Trump, who has been indicted four times on the state and federal level.

Trump, the presumptive GOP presidential nominee, claims the cases against him are politically motivated as does his allies and supporters, and has pleaded not guilty to all charges. The conservative talk show host called out House Judiciary Committee chair Jim Jordan of Ohio, House Oversight Committee chair James Comer of Kentucky and House Speaker Mike Johnson of Louisiana for not doing enough to help the MAGA cause.

"Once again. I beg of you. Where is Jim Jordan, where's Comer, where's Polly Pockets Johnson. Where are the subpoenas? Where is an investigation? Why are people not being held accountable? Why does it take [conservative activist] Mike Davis and [former Trump aide] Kash Patel and the same people over, and over, and over again. [Former Republican Nevada attorney general candidate] Sigal Chattah...Why does it take them pounding, pounding, pounding," Bannon said.

He continued: "You know why, the fix is in. The donors don't want it. What the donors want is [former Republican presidential candidate] Nikki Haley as prime minister."

Prosecutors asked the judge to put his ass in jail last month. Still waiting.

[Voltaire2]

1. How is this fascist shithead still not in jail?

[BumRushDaShow]

4. Waiting for a judge to just DO IT!

[dweller]

2. Polly Pockets Johnson

I hope that sticks



✌🏻

[eppur_se_muova]

3. You're NOT paranoid, Steve ! They really ARE all out to get you. Or tfg. Or whomever.

The only appropriate course of action is to attack everyone, even your would-be allies ! Go to it, and no holds barred !

[sinkingfeeling]

5. What I want is you, Steve, in jail.

[flying_wahini]

6. Pot meet kettle...

Our judicial system is really messed up right now. He should be locked up.

[Ford_Prefect]

7. Don't you just love all that obvious projection. Steve is the poster boy of bought, just ask Vlad about it.

[bluescribbler]

8. He is a stopped clock.

He's right about one thing: They are bought. Bought by the same people who put the convict into his position, and who would put him back there if they can. The same people who put Bannon into his position where he could inflict such damage to our democratic republic.

[crickets]

24. +1

[pecosbob]

9. Of course they were bought...but not by those you claim.

[republianmushroom]

10. How many days did the judge give Bannon ?

Our justice system seems to be a joke at times. A republican joke.

[BumRushDaShow]

12. 4 months, same as Navarro

Stephen K. Bannon Sentenced to Four Months in Prison on Two Counts of Contempt of Congress

[republianmushroom]

14. And how many days to show up.

It started with 2, then 4 ....still a no show.

[BlueKota]

11. It's really amusing when they are applauding

each other in one breath, then condemning one another in the next, then repeat the same patterns ad nauseum. It's a wonder they don't have whiplash.

[GB_RN]

13. There's An 80s Punk Band...

With a name that’s quite appropriate to these assholes: The Circle Jerks. 😂

15. Steve Bannon stands trial after Judge Merchan sentences Trump

Bannon had better quit running his mouth if he knows what's good for him, BTA he neither can nor will because of the brain rot he has due to years of heavy drinking.

IDK if he's a dry drunk or a wet drunk. He just acts like a far gone alcoholic.

[BumRushDaShow]

17. His "Build the Wall" fraud trial

that was originally scheduled for May 28 this year, got moved to September (because the judge for that - Merchan, was in the midst of 45's trial) - https://www.newsweek.com/steve-bannon-faces-music-we-build-wall-fraud-case-1896079

So theoretically, if he was FINALLY thrown into jail now, he'd barely be getting out in time for the next trial!

16. I had to look up Polly Pockets.

A tribute to MJ's good grooming, untroubled doll-like visage, and subdued masculinity.

I wonder if Bannon has an inside take on Haley. Her kiss the ring moment with Trump was a public humiliation and pledge of allegiance/subservience. It would not be surprising if she was promised some short-term benefit, like the Vice Presidency. I have commented previously that she is a Trump off-ramp for some and her environmental record and policy positions are music to fossil fuel oligarch ears. In the end, Trump is an errand boy for that set of oligarchs. Note that the fossil fuel multi-billionaires club includes Putin and MBS.

[slightlv]

18. I loved the "Polly Pockets"

But had no idea what in the world it could mean... had to look it up. I'd never heard that phrase before!

Bannon *should* be in jail. WTAF! IMO, he shouldn't only be in jail for blowing off a subpoena... but, and here we go again... he ought to be charged and convicted of domestic terrorism. Damn! We have got to start updating our laws to deal with the reality we face right now... not what it was 20-50+ years ago. (sigh)

[sanatanadharma]

19. "Prime Minister" ???????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They all hate the American way.
Or ignorance is metastasizing and insanity has become the new orange.

[Wonder Why]

20. Bought, paid for and well used. Buyer got their money's worth.

[usonian]

21. LOCK

[usonian]

22. HIM

[usonian]

23. UP

25. Where are the subpoenas?

Where they always are when you stupid traitor GQP try to use them against your political opponents for specious reasons: Laughed out of the room, because they have no legislative purpose, no legal justification and no standing behind them.

Besides, who will ever honour a subpoena from a criminal traitor who refuses to honour those issued to him?

You can issue all the subpoenas you want, but if they're not worth the paper they're written on then nobody will abide by them. After a while, even Gym JacketOff has enough pride to stop issuing them, rather than having people laugh at him for his idiotic attempts at forcing people to show up for him to yell at over nonsense.

27. some of them are 3 years and counting when we had a democratic house . jym jordan etc.

[OAITW r.2.0]

30. Righteous Rant.

My new subject line for great DU posts.

[AllaN01Bear]

26. how arnt half of those rich conservatie millianres arnt in jail? what a silly question, they are rich.

[duncang]

28. Bannon is worried.

He may not admit it but knows the only way he stays out of jail is if tfg pardons him.

[OAITW r.2.0]

29. Interesting. Throwing 2 major Republican House Congressional assets under the bus.

Weird shit going on.

[magicarpet]

31. BOUGHT ?

Nobody wants them. Like these idiots are such a hot commodity in Washington DC. Is that what crazy Bannon thinks ?

Get fucking real.

Jordan and Comer are damaged and defective goods - destined for the political trash heap.

The only reason they both remain slightly revelent is because both their home districts have been gerrymandered to death. That is the only reason they remain politically afloat. Not because of their skills of being highly effective legislators.

They should be ashamed to cash their House of Representative's paychecks. Their meaningfully contributions to Congress have been embarrassingly dismal and more nonexistent.

[keithbvadu2]

32. Complete and total loyalty to Dotard is demanded. Any slight discrepancy is now complete disloyalty.

Ask Lindsey G.

[Grins]

33. "Republicans...bought by big donors.."

He should know. Bannon was bought by MEGA DONOR Robert Mercer and his daughter. Together they funded Bannon and his presidency at Breitbart, the election stealing traitors at the now defunct (in disgrace) Cambridge Analytica, and scandal monger and liar Peter Schweikert.
