Steve Bannon

[Silent3]

38. Stopped what investigation?

You imagine an "investigation" is going on right now? What investigation? Gathering the data to show that Bannon is 99.999% likely to be found guilty, because charging Bannon when he's only 99.99% likely to be found guilty would be too intemperate and wildly undemocratic?

I can't be sure Meadows wouldn't stonewall no matter what, but he's certainly emboldened to stonewall when he sees Bannon paying no penalty for contempt. They're both playing the game of running out the clock, and it's because the real world keeps teaching them that running out the clock works. Garland doesn't seem to care if he helps the game of running out the clock keep working.
