WHOA! House Riot Panel Will ‘Immediately’ Pursue Charges on Bannon if He no-shows

[reagansghost]

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.

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

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.

Thanks, there was chatter on Twitter and I thought they were binding.

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.

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.

They convene Tuesday for the vote.

True. Thanks.

Pardons can't be revoked.

There is a question as to whether his crimes he was pardoned for can be used against him in sentencing for any future crimes.

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.

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

not a contempt order......you realize how hard it is to find someone who ISN'T in contempt of congress?.......
