Steve Bannon in jail? It will all depend on Merrick Garland, who seems terrified of doing anything that might be perceived as political:
"Bannon has said that in a second Trump term he wants to see Trump's "enemies," such as Dr. Anthony Fauci and FBI Director Chris Wray, decapitated, with their heads mounted on stakes. Again, it's a mistake to consider this a joke."https://t.co/t5QcNMmDZD

Bannon will be held in contempt. What does that mean, and what powers does Congress have? https://t.co/5r7JmB5bni I've had nothing but contempt for this man ever since I first saw him, he is an asshat

Bannon 1/5/21: “All hell is going to break loose tomorrow. It’s all converging, and now we’re on the point of attack tomorrow. And all I can say is: Strap in. You have made this happen, and tomorrow it’s game day.”
Bannon today: "But muh executive privilege."— Rick Wilson (@TheRickWilson) October 14, 2021
1/6 committee to vote Tuesday (10/19) on holding Bannon in contempt.
Before the Twitter doomscrolling starts, yes, this is the fastest they can do that. No, Bannon isn’t going to get away with it. Yes, you’re overreacting. Yes, this is good news. No, the country isn’t doomed.— Angry Staffer (@Angry_Staffer) October 14, 2021

At NRSC retreat, Trump continued false claims of fraud, urged GOP to stick together and relitigated much. “I'm not into golden showers," he told the crowd. "You know the great thing, our great first lady--'That one,' she said, 'I don't believe that one.'”

Terrifying 1923 Hitler tried the same thing to attack democracy. He was thrown in prison. 10 years later he was in power. This is a long and dangerous journey. Where will we be in 2031, even if Bannon etc Al have been imprisoned. #history
