House votes to hold Trump ally Steve Bannon in contempt

WASHINGTON (AP) — The House voted Thursday to hold Steve Bannon, a longtime ally and aide to former President Donald Trump, in contempt of Congress for defying a subpoena from the committee investigating the violent Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection.

In a rare show of bipartisanship on the House floor, the committee’s Democratic chairman, Mississippi Rep. Bennie Thompson, led the floor debate along with Republican Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming, one of two Republicans on the panel. Still, the vote was 229-202 with all but nine GOP lawmakers who voted saying “no.”

The House vote sends the matter to the U.S. attorney’s office in Washington, where it will now be up to prosecutors in that office to decide whether to present the case to a grand jury for possible criminal charges. It’s still uncertain whether they will pursue the case — Attorney General Merrick Garland would only say at a House hearing on Thursday that they plan to “make a decision consistent with the principles of prosecution.”

Brings to mind an old line from a Mae West movie.

She's in court, probably for soliciting. She's giving the judge her usual snarky answers, and he finally snaps,

Judge: "Young lady, are you trying to show contempt for this court?"

Mae West: "No, your honor, I'm doing my best to conceal it."

most of them realize this will be tied up in court for years.

Good. And it was a bipartisan vote. Now it needs to be taken to the next step and he needs to be prosecuted.

Joining Cheney and Kinzinger in voting to hold Bannon in contempt were Republican Reps. Peter Meijer and Fred Upton of Michigan, Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania, Anthony Gonzalez of Ohio, John Katko of New York, Nancy Mace of South Carolina and Jaime Herrera Beutler of Washington.

Need to vote these 9 traitors out!

Cheney-Being primaried
Kinzinger- being primaried AND might lose seat due to redistricting
Meijer- Being Primaried
Upton- Being primaried
Fitzpatrick- no primary opponent yet
Gonzalez-quitting
Ratko-no primary opponent yet
Mace-Being primaried
Beutler- Being primaried

ROFLMAO. 9 RINO's is not being bipartisan. 9 out of 214 GOP congress critters...oh yeah real bipartisan. MOST of those if not all WILL NOT be in congress next year thankfully. 9 traitors.

The Democrats are spending their time on a Steve Bannon witch hunt while ignoring COVID, the economy, inflation, the supply chain, Afghanistan, the border crisis, the labor crisis, and infrastructure.

Great look for them.

I have contempt for Congress. Can I take Bannon's place to tell them off?

Because they don't believe in law and order. Don't believe in holding anyone who is a Republican accountable for anything. They cheer on the crooks who are on their side.
