This could go either way. But they are going to have to round all Trump’s crooked friends and make a example out of each one of them for this to make any sense. They cannot stop with Steve Bannin.

Bannon Surrenders to Feds After Being Indicted for Contempt of Congress

Steve Bannon, the notorious former chief strategist to President Donald Trump, gave himself over to federal authorities on Monday. The surrender came days after a federal grand jury indicted him for ignoring a subpoena from the House committee probing the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

According to ABC News, the former White House advisor will be arraigned on charges of contempt of Congress later Monday, after weeks of his refusing to either give testimony or supply demanded documents. Representatives for Bannon did not immediately respond to requests for comment. […]- MSN News, 11-15-21

Vanity Fair:
Since the House appointed a select committee to investigate the events before, during, and after the January 6 attack on the Capitol, Donald Trump has made it clear that not only will he personally be stonewalling the probe, but he’ll do everything in his power to ensure his many minions do the same. Unfortunately for the ex-president, that strategy hasn‘t been working out so well of late. For one thing, a federal judge ruled three times in two days this week that Trump cannot actually claim executive privilege in an attempt to block the information Congress has requested (a federal appeals court on Thursday gave him a reprieve by temporarily halting the release of said information). Perhaps more importantly, though, on Friday afternoon the Justice Department sent a clear message to anyone entertaining the idea of ignoring congressional subpoenas on the former guy’s behalf: Don‘t fuck with us.

[The Steve Bannon indictment was related to his refusal to appear before Congress for a deposition regarding his role in the January 6th Capitol Hill attack, as well as for ignoring a congressional demand to produce documents — which carries a minimum of 30 days and a maximum of 1 year in jail for each charge.] – DJ

[And so, the message to Donald Trump and his MAGA misfits is clear. “There’s a new sheriff in town” and “You can run, but you can’t hide.” Or, in other words, silence (and continuing to refuse to cooperate with Congress) now comes with consequences.] – DJ

Well, I certainly hope so. But We shall see.
