Bannon's Battle

Steve Bannon was arrested today after he was held in contempt of Congress for refusing to cooperate with the January 6th Committee. It's just the latest example of the two systems of justice in America.

 

There hasn't been a contempt of Congress case since 1983, and that tells you something. The charge is almost never prosecuted, especially against Democrats. 

 

Obama Attorney General Eric Holder was charged with contempt of Congress in 2012. Nothing happened. Infamous IRS official Lois Lerner was charged with contempt of Congress in 2014. Nothing happened.

 

Bannon's indictment comes on the heels of Biden's Justice Department targeting parents at school board meetings. 

 

It comes on the heels of the FBI raids against the journalists of Project Veritas

 

It comes on the heels of a 17 year-old boy in Kenosha, Wisconsin, being put on trial for his life against people who would have killed him if they could have. 

 

It comes as hundreds of political prisoners are still being held for the "insurrection" that never happened on January 6th. (January 6th was a demonstration that got out-of-control -- not an armed attempt to overthrow the government.) A Washington Post analysis last week found, "The vast majority of the roughly 650 people federally charged in the riot were not part of far-right groups or premeditated conspiracies to attack the Capitol."

 

All of this and more taken together is tearing this country apart. 

 

So-called "progressives" are telling half of America, "We will demonize you. We will marginalize you.  We will destroy anyone you elect to represent you. And we will throw you in jail." There is no greater threat to the Republic than that message.

 

Meanwhile, Joe Biden, Liz Cheney and her fellow RINOs are wagging their fingers at Donald Trump and demanding conservatives be civil.
