DOJ received Bannon's criminal referral 10 days ago.

ten days.

true, Bannon revels in thumbing his sickly meth nose at non-maga authority

but inaction—and silence—have grave consequences for democracy

a few days ago @glennkirschner2 made compelling point that Mark Meadows, drafting off Bannon's contempt, now feels fine yanking @January6thCmte chain

on what planet does it make sense to give criminals like Bannon & Meadows "indefinite" reprieves?

(screengrab via @glennkirschner2's YouTube)

how long does "contemplating" last @January6thCmte?

couple days? a fortnight? multiple weeks? be specific

"even if Bannon had sound claim of executive privilege, Congress’ and public’s need to know... is paramount, and that factor should prevail" @harrylitman

Bannon has no claim of privilege and we need to know, the end.

motives of dude whose pet project is "dismantling administrative state" and perpetuating global anarchy ARE NOT IN QUESTION

arrest him.

"congress should be using its constitutional lawful inherent power of contempt while it awaits @TheJusticeDept's action indicting Bannon" @glennkirschner2

incarceration is temporary but necessary tool to disrupt their ongoing coup

check me on this please @glennkirschner2 @ChrisAlbertoLaw: tfg's bogus executive-privilege actions seem to belong in 2 buckets

- subpoenaed 6 Jan documents
- witness testimony

both are laughable and witness tampering is a crime last time I checked

theguardian.com/us-news/2021/s…

"following instructions to claim executive privilege" is not legitimate claim of said privilege

what about indicting TFG for abject witness tampering? we could legitimately do that TODAY

federal judges LOVE in-court lies designed to stonewall—just ask them Kraken lawyers

“unfolding like a fever dream in James Madison’s restless imagination”

rhetorical flourishes like that are quite welcome h/t @BaddCompani

“using legal system to thwart federal law” is what Kraken lawyers did

let’s ask Sid Powell how’s that working out 🤔

all of this 👇🏻

if @HunterJCullen's correct—let's face it he always is—Bannon should expect FBI at 6 a.m. tomorrow
