IF they let Hunter off with a slap on the wrist, it will be time for all Americans to break every law of the land, every second of every day. "Angry mobs with flaming torches"... would need to descend on the DOJ, and Congress.
The only reason why they put it in the books is because they don't like being criticized or Contradicted, or directly insulted as they pretend to be ""SOMEBODY"", in that building.....
It isn't ""INFERRED"" nor ""IMPLIED"", in the U.S. Constitution, and Congress is just a Legislative Body, they are supposed to MAKE and UNMAKE Laws, they are NOT A JUDICIAL anything.....
The Charges they brought against Bannon are all just bullshit charges......
May as well have charged him with ""Contempt of Democrats"".....
Never did understand these congressional hearing rules. Seems like you couldn't 'convict' someone of breaking a law without a real due process. Bannon wasn't allowed to question any of the 'witnesses' (used loosely b/c half were just repeating hearsay) or present any type of defense. Does this carry any weight at all?
He wasn't tried by the committee, there was a separate 4 day trial for the contempt charges and he was convicted by a jury. This is just round 1 though, he's definitely going appeal it. He's always been a fighter.

I identify as contemptuous.
That there's a bumper sticker
Congress is WAY beneath contempt. If Bannon has been convicted of contempt, he should get an award for improvement.
But never mind those who lied to Congress, like Anthony Fauci, etc.
Not a shit post actually. šÆ truth!
Both respect and contempt are earned.
I AM STEVE BANNON
Iām Spartacus
They're useless and contempt is a mild word.
Congress has my FULL CONTEMPT!

I really wish I could disagree with you on a MORAL Point....
But I can only disagree on a Political Point.....
Oh no, guilty of contempt of CONGRESS. Big fucking deal. Fuck Congress, Fuck Democrats, FJB.
$1,000.00 Fine plus 30 Days to 1 Year in Jail....
""Contempt of Congress"" is NOT a real thing.....
