'House Republicans hate Steve Bannon, but they fear him' says former Trump comms director (CNN)

Bannon defied a lawful subpoena to appear before the select committee investigating the January 6 attack on the Capitol. The vote passed the House, but with only 9 Republican votes.

Trump/Bannon are nothing but scapegoats.

Reagan said the government is the problem and introduced the starve the beast philosophy. The end result of starvation is death.

Justice matters.

And all the federal administrations (NASA, EPA, et al). Makes no sense (as usual).

some may just go with the flow, and at least two do not fear them but are still republicans from the heart. So over all they still put party over USA.

I think they all just believe in Trump and don't want to get to the bottom of the attempted coup.
