It may be time for Steve Bannon to pay the piper.Indicted by a federal grand jury Friday. He is charged with contempt of Congress for refusing to answer questions from the House Committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
Two contempt counts:
One for refusing to appear for a deposition and another for declining to produce documents requested by the committee.
If convicted, Bannon could face up to a year behind bars and a fine of up to $100,000.
You go boy !!

Otherwise, those jail cells are going to be densely populated with Trump's corrupt cronies.
Bannon was not part of the administration in the time frame of the insurrection.
Trump is no longer in power.
He has no right to defy a Congressional subpoena.
Something much to hide ?!?!?
Actually Jim executive privilege applies to advice and counsel received from both inside and outside a president's cabinet.
And executive privilege is at the SITTING president's discretion.
A federal judge ruled, that Trump has the right to REQUEST executive privilege,
but granting is at the discretion of the sitting president.
Biden ruled that it is in the best interest of the public, that the Jan 6 Committee interview the witnesses and thus denied Trump's request.
witnesses from testifying. Let the witnesses tell their side of the story.
Trump has nothing to hide, right ?
If the Commission was in any way serious
to gather evidence to build the framework for being able to tell if key witnesses within Trump's inner circle tell lies, once they testify. They will also soon be researching hundreds of White House communications around the Jan 6 time frame.
Trump committed serious crime and the Jan 6 Special Committee (both Democrats & Republicans) is seriously building a bullet proof prosecution to hold Trump and his cronies accountable.
