Anything else? Or is this just an OCD moment? I posted a link. It's over.

“Stretch” didn’t really post a link but it is irrelevant, what he is implying is correct, all of this will be litigated forever, delayed, postponed, appealed, etc., strategy being to hold on till next November anticipating the GOP will take back the House and little Jimmy Jordan will turn into an “investigation” on Hunter Biden

Guess it's an OCD moment. Still not over.

Bannon was talking exec privilege. He was not a lawyer, let alone Trump's lawyer. He was also out of a Whitehouse job for over 2 years. Bannon is like trump. They think they are above the law. I hope they get straightened out.

Which is why, among other reasons, the Dems will lose big time as people lose more faith in them and the system. An ongoing rolling coup and these feckless fools will do nothing.

Steve Bannon has a choice to make today: Either he appears for a deposition as ordered by House committee investigating the Capitol riot, or the panel will immediately pursue criminal contempt charges against him. CNN reports the committee is getting ready to seek a referral for criminal contempt as soon as the ex-Trump adviser’s subpoena deadline expires later today. Bannon’s lawyer made clear in a letter Wednesday that his client has absolutely no intention of giving testimony or handing documents to the committee until a ruling is made over whether former President Donald Trump can assert executive privilege to prevent witnesses from speaking to the panel. CNN’s sources said the committee would take the initial steps to send a referral to the Department of Justice within hours of Thursday’s deadline. Three other Trump administration officials face subpoena deadlines this week.

NICE!!

It's about time they stopped blapping and used the constitutional powers that they are granted. Lock him up, lock him up!

Question for those who know the law, if he’s arrested, does this jeopardize his pardon?

I would not think so. I believe the pardon covers everything in the past that is mentioned in the text of the pardon, but you can't give a pardon for future crimes, like contempt of court. #TRE45ON's little cult discussed that last year.

[ThatOwlWoman]

No. A pardon is forever. You can't go back and re-imprison him for something he was pardoned for simply because he gets arrested for contempt of Congress while courts make rulings on executive privilege. Though it is very unlikely he'll be arrested for that while such decisions are litigated.

I don't think this is accurate. A pardon is forever, yes, but it does not cover future crimes. Contempt of court is a crime.

For a legal PDF??????????? LOL

Daily Mail? No wonder you didn't post a link.

It does not, but at that point he would’ve committed a totally new crime.

I hope it’s true, that the Democrats in Congress have finally growing up here.

Whatever floats your boat. Then all the left does is refute sources anyway when they ARE given. Whatever.

We only do that when you Reichtards use biased, discredited sources. Like the Daily Mail. Breitbart. Gateway Pundit. Etc. Don't use alt-RW discredited sources and no one will need to refute them.

BTW, the letter is just a letter and does not mean that Bannon cannot be arrested for failure to appear when subpoenaed.

You just made my case for me again. Only look at links, but never credit the content.......which was a legal letter. Shallow bunch in here.

Correct. Hence my assertion he can be arrested for Contempt of Congress. However it is unlikely he will be while there is pending litigation on Executive Privilege going on.

My point was that this action (supposed contempt of congress charges) will not affect his previous pardon, because a pardon is a permanent thing.
