If Bannon goes to jail, those who have not complied to this current congress have to go to jail too.
The GOPE had better wake up. They are the useful idiots.
The GOP is handcuffed at the moment. The DOJ is controlled by the DNC. You have to get back control of the DOJ to spread the same love back to these mfers.

do you agree or disagree with Rick Scott?

As the banana republic quotient rises in this country, being imprisoned will be a regular feature of those who advocate for moral and true justice.

Along with DOJ employees and a away back when guy named Eric Holder

Congress has subpoena power. Refusing to appear is contempt.
Was the premise of the "investigation" underlying the subpoena ridiculous? Of course. But practically everyone besides POTUS and VPOTUS is compelled to comply with a Congressional subpoena to appear and testify. In the relevant respects, its not really different from a judicial subpoena.

I get the sentiment. But if you get a subpoena, and you cannot get it quashed ahead of the appearance date, you still have to show up.

This is going to backfire on Democrats just like the lawfare vs Trump is backfiring.

Serious question.
I feel like people refuse all the time. Is he the first to be charged in the past several years?

There is merit to playing the long game, you know.

You’re talking to a lawyer/sophist. Ethics and morality are irrelevant to their reasoning processes.

Refusing could be playing the long game.

No. Navarro is in jail for the same offense.
It is historically rare however, for a couple of different reasons. Mostly that people tend to comply, and second because the ones that don't typically have had some element of an immunity or privilege defense.

Maybe you're right.
I have no confidence that is the case here though. Bannon, et al have shown themselves pretty inept at foresight.

I view this sort of the almost exact opposite of jury nullification. With exactly the opposite results.
Posted on 5/10/24 at 3:46 pm to Indefatigable
Makes sense. Thanks.

Both were advisors to the president of the United States.
This is one of many "cross the rubicon" decisions by the Biden admin.

Sometimes it feels like we are coming to the end of that one, if it hasn't already ended. Other times it feels like chess with a pigeon.
Either way, whatever we are playing now certainly doesn't look like any "game" I historically recognize, so it seems sort of misguided to think there are some sort of historically established "rules" anyone should be looking to adhere to.
