As we detailed Friday, unsurprisingly it took no time at all for the federal jury in Washington DC to find the former Trump adviser guilty on two charges of contempt of Congress, after he refused to comply with a subpoena from the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol riot.
In his closing statements, Steve Bannon’s attorney, M. Evan Corcoran, suggested that the J6 committee was illegitimate and politically motivated.
It is hard to argue otherwise, when egregious examples abound including President Obama’s Attorney General Eric Holder, who like Bannon, ignored a congressional subpoena of documents related to the infamous Fast and Furious scandal.
Steve Bannon has been charged with contempt of Congress & found guilty, while Brennan, Clapper & others who lied to Congress have never been charged or prosecuted. This just shows yet again how the DOJ has been weaponized by those in power to go after their political opponents. pic.twitter.com/aJXJGUqOTb
