Steve Bannon subpoenas Nancy Pelosi and every member of the House J6 committee in his contempt of Congress case

How do you hold one group to the law yet look the other way when it's you.
How you fix that?

Ok Mr Bannon, today isn't your lucky day?
You hold both groups accountable in the same way. Would you prefer rules and laws be enforced or not?
 
Nervous? Calm down.:hyper:

Guy sure has an effect on peoples minds.....just like the Bunny....LOL

You didn’t answer my question. Do you think rules and laws should be enforced or not?
I would but they aren't. Bannon is one example.

Justice delayed or justice denied?

Attorney General Merrick Garland is well on his way to setting a record for the prosecution of congressional contempt. The Justice Department has consistently refused to submit congressional contempt cases to grand juries, including a flagrant act of contempt by Obama-era Attorney General Eric Holder. There is ample basis for this charge as well. It is not the substance but the selectivity and speed of the charges that is notable. Navarro was only held in contempt in April and is now being prosecuted by a department long known as the place where contempt sanctions go to die. Yet, the Navarro case could quickly take a wild turn.

Navarro claims he offered to compromise with the committee but that he was asserting his right to remain silent. Putting aside such mitigating circumstances, the problem for the Justice Department could be the calendar: Despite moving at an uncharacteristically fast pace, the Navarro case likely will extend beyond November’s midterms. If Republicans retake the House, they could seek to retroactively rescind the House’s contempt vote on Navarro.

Technically, the Justice Department could insist that the act of contempt and the referral vote occurred under the prior Congress. Given the issuance of an indictment, the Biden administration could insist on pursuing the prosecution even if the alleged victim is no longer claiming to be harmed. And some Democrats likely would file to support his continued prosecution, even if a new majority of the House filed to seek dismissal of the case.

This prosecution and any appeal is likely to extend beyond the duration of the House committee. Last November, the Justice Department indicted former Trump adviser Steve Bannon on the same grounds; his trial will not occur until July. That will be the first such prosecution since 1982, when Rita Lavelle, a former Reagan-era EPA official, was indicted for failing to answer congressional questions. (Lavelle was acquitted of that but then later convicted of lying to Congress.)

The Biden administration did not have to act on this before the November elections. The statute of limitations for contempt of Congress is five years. If it hoped to get a quick plea and cooperation from Navarro, his defiant courthouse colloquy makes that less likely. The question is whether it will pursue these two misdemeanors — which could result in as little as 30 days and no more than a year in jail — if the next House seeks to rescind the contempt referral.

Good, so in Bannons case he should be held accountable for Ignoring a subpoena correct?
Why? According to Turley, it's a mickey mouse waste of time and taxpayers monies....and what of precedent?
Bannon only wants what Liberal privilege has to offer.
It looks here like you support Garland’s actions of holding people to account, correct? Your complaint is that people in the past have not been how to account, so we just need to make sure that if people ignore subpoenas, no matter which party, they’re held accountable, correct?
Has he held anyone to account yet? Has Chuck Schumer been held to account for threats against Gorsuch and Kavanaugh or Pelosi for urging people to protest at SCOTUS justices homes?

You seem to keep changing your stance based on tit for tat partisan politics. You are either for accountability for breaking rules and laws, or you’re not. If you don’t think Bannon should be held accountable then you’re contradicting yourself.
