Congress Should Refer Bannon for Criminal Contempt AND Trump for a Contempt Conspiracy Investigation

Congress will vote on whether to hold Steve Bannon in contempt and refer him to the Department of Justice for prosecution. When prosecutors investigate and indict cases in the grand jury, they ALWAYS investigate the motive for the crime. Donald Trump pardoned Steve Bannon for stealing money from Trump's base via his bogus "We Build the Wall" foundation. Apparently in return for that invaluable favor, Bannon refused to testify before Congress on a topic that almost certainly would have incriminated Trump. This motive is something that must be fully presented to the grand jury as part of the indictment of Steve Bannon for contempt of Congress.

Democrats held public, televised, hearings on president Biden's evacuation of Afghanistan. At these hearings GQP traitors were given free rein to bash president Biden and General Milley.

Here we are 10 months after an attempted overthrow of our democracy and we are talking about whether Bannon, who was not a member of the Trump administration, should not be allowed to claim executive immunity. We are suggesting that this case, of low hanging fruit, should be determinative for future subpoenas. WTF. WTF. Apples and Oranges; Bannon was not a part of the Trump administration, he should either be on public television in front of Congress or be in jail.

It will soon be Kornacki time.

Oh and Texas just eliminated Sheila Jackson lee's district and combined in with Al Greene's district, that means because of gerrymandering, Democrats just lost 1 House member, but we should GOTV. WTF, who should we vote for, Lee or Greene? Oh yeah, we can't pass S1. Well then, gerrymandering just gave the House to the GQP. How much longer should I be patient?
