January 6 panel moves to hold Steve Bannon in criminal contempt

What "bugs" me is destroying people's lives for political expediency.

No, what bugs you is they are investigating republicans too and you're a hardcore.

I'm anti Republican actually. They have been usurped by the ruling elites.

That's not what your source said. What did you mean by white? The insurrectionist did tend to be white.

Again with this politically motivated exaggeration and hyperbole over 1/6.

For a more realistic and knowledgeable summary founded in law by a former federal prosecutor.

​

The office of the United States attorney for the District of Columbia has a “Sedition Task Force” focused on the January 6 riot . . . but it doesn’t have a sedition case.​

​

Federal prosecutors haven’t charged any terrorism offenses, but, as a rationale for denying one defendant bail, they are trying to convince a skeptical federal judge that by damaging a doorway in forcing her way into the Capitol — a crime often treated as a misdemeanor, and for which the maximum sentence is just ten years — she committed a “crime of terrorism.”​

​

Let’s be real. With due respect to Attorney General Merrick Garland, the Capitol melee is by no stretch of the imagination the greatest threat to our democracy in living memory. It is not 9/11. It is not the Boston Marathon bombing. Indeed, the June 14, 2017, Washington baseball field shooting spree, in which a radical leftist tried to mass-murder much of the Republican congressional delegation, bore more hallmarks of a terrorist attack — albeit one that, like the deadly Black Lives Matter riots of last summer, the media-Democrat complex always remembers to forget.​

What the Capitol Riot Prosecutions Tell Us​

The rioters will be punished appropriately, but not punished as if they were terrorists who were trying to overthrow the United States government.​

No charges insurrection.
No charges sedition.
Charges of disruption and obstruction of Congress, yes.
Charges of criminal trespass, destruction of government property, yes.

You guys just need to stop.

I think I've got him figured out & enjoy making him do his act, in public.

If people stop feeding him he would go away.

Whenever there's an attempted insurrection in any country there's gonna be thorough investigations. You don't get to just bum rush a capital in a country, breach security and hunt politicians.

And I realize that those investigations bug the crap out of republicans.

I think most Republicans are either Ok or mildly upset about it It really only bothers the Trumplicans and the more discomfort those traitors experience the better

 

[Carl Young]

You aren't aware of any of the times congressional republicans have investigated the white house endlessly?

Answering a question with a question demonstrates the emptiness of your claim.

 

[Carl Young]

do you support investigations into the people that bum rushed the Capital and/or any people that instigated them?

Have there not been investigations already?

 

[CaughtInThe]

Have there not been investigations already?

okay. so how many investigations (and from which parts of government) do you support into an attempted insurrection where people bum rushed the capital, breached security and were hunting politicians?

 

[Deuce]

You guys just need to stop.

From the people who still insist the election was stolen and want 1700 more "audits."

 

[eohrnberger]

Not anything that I've supported.

Interesting to note that you've completely ignored the citation and the point. Do please carry on.

 

[Carl Young]

okay. so how many investigations (and from which parts of government) do you support into an attempted insurrection where people bum rushed the capital, breached security and were hunting politicians?

None. There was no "attempted insurrection".

What's going on here is the outlawing of protests by anyone but the far left and calling any counter protests from fellow Americans as "Far right".

 

[Deuce]

You think attacking congress is a legal protest, eh? Cute.

 

[CaughtInThe]

None. There was no "attempted insurrection".

okay, so you're an extremist who doesn't want the attempted insurrection (where they bum rushed the Capital of a country, breached the security and were hunting politicians) investigated.

at least we know where you stand now. no other right wing extremists want an investigation either.

 

[Chomsky]

"Inherent Contempt" was last used in 1927, against Attorney General Harry Daugherty. A select Senate committee issued a subpoena for Daugherty to testify and to also surrender records from an Ohio bank. When Daugherty refused to comply after a second subpoena, the Senate passed a resolution issuing a warrant and authorizing a Senate deputy to take Daugherty into custody. The SCOTUS upheld the conviction.

Thanks for the 411!

Not today Steve...

The hypocrisy, it burns. So many, many, many, many times, we heard criticism of Trump not based on legality but on whether it was right.

Your defense is faith hearted, at best.

When a person does something that is both "illegal" and "improper", then it is quite correct to castigate them on both heads and also correct to castigate them on either one alone.

When a person does something that is "illegal" but "proper", then it is quite correct to castigate them for doing something that is "illegal" act - even though the act was "proper".

When a person does something that is "legal" but "improper", then it is quite correct to castigate them for doing something that is "improper" - even though the act was "legal".

The mere fact of "legality" does not always override the fact of "impropriety" and the mere fact of "propriety" does not always override the fact of "illegality".

You appear to believe that "legality" always overrides the fact of "impropriety" - so did the Nazis when they carried out their campaigns of "racial purification".

You also appear to believe that "propriety" always overrides the fact of "illegality" - so did everyone who killed the person who raped their daughter.

Both the Nazis and the person who kills someone who raped their daughter were "wrong" (that is a technical term, so I'll quite understand if it confuses you) to do what they did.

okay, so you're an extremist who doesn't want the attempted insurrection (where they bum rushed the Capital of a country, breached the security and were hunting politicians) investigated.

As mentioned, unless everyone denies that an "insurrection" was taking place they're a "right wing extremist" and will be hunted down and tried as such. Such is the hold hard leftists have over the unwitting and the gullible. People all over the world are becoming increasingly concerned about the leftist coup now taking place in America.

 

[TU Curmudgeon]

Trump is cashing in the "You OWE me" pardon chip on Bannon.

​

 

[Carl Young]

Which Congressman was "attacked"? And wouldn't it be easier to attack them when they are outside the building as the deranged Leftist did against the Republicans at baseball practice?

 

[TU Curmudgeon]

Flag poles??? Oh no! Did any of them have flags too?????

They most certainly did.

In fact, one of the "Blutfahne" was the centerpiece for the Trumpkins pledge of allegiance to "The Flag" just recently.

well, your posts and the fact that you don't want an investigation proves that you're a right wing extremist.

look, if a group bum rushes a Capital and breaches security they're usually just gunned down. this time the insurrectionists were lucky. but you don't even want investigations so that is simply you doing what you can to support them and their actions (or hold people personally responsible).

none of that is surprising when it comes from right wing extremists.

I have to agree with your last point. There are people out on the streets of just about every country who should be kept in "The Home" for their own safety.

Again you prove my point and you clearly haven't seen the video of that evening.

Most protesters were welcomed inside and were wandering aimlessly around the building, with the police largely acting as guides. Have you ever seen an actual 'resurrection' take place or have read of of one? Do you know what's essential to any legitimate 'insurrection'?
