32. I'll gladly step up.
Fri Nov 12, 2021, 05:17 PM
Nov 2021

And eat crow as I said in many of my posts pushing for some form of punishment for defying a subpoena. Now, let’s see what actually happens to Bannon. This is a step in the right direction at least.

No one here was bashing Garland simply to be bashing Garland. We all simply don’t want some jerk like Bannon getting away with things that we, ourselves, would be locked up for. He is a traitor and he needs to be held accountable and time is of the essence. We were not alone, either, in that many legal scholars have called for action.
