AMERICAN TYRANNY: Steve Bannon Sentenced to Prison

“We have to win massively on the 8th and then this new Congress has to really go and enforce the rule of law,” he demanded. “Start serious investigations…and after those investigations, start bringing articles of impeachment and throw these bums out, whether it’s [Alejandro] Mayorkas of DHS or [Merrick] Garland, the attorney general. And who knows where it ends.”

Steve Bannon prepping appeals, calls on GOP to focus on winning so they can impeach Garland

Reps. Bennie Thompson of Mississippi and Liz Cheney of Wyoming lead the committee.

By: Fox News, October 22, 2022:

Former Trump adviser Steve Bannon joined Fox News for his first interview since being sentenced to four months in prison for contempt, after he defied a subpoena from Mississippi Democratic Rep. Bennie Thompson and the House January 6 Committee.

“The whole Justice Department under Merrick Garland has become radically partisan. And I think that after we win on November 8 to deliver this crushing blow against the Democratic Party; this regime, Tucker, I strongly believe you’ll see Merrick Garland impeached next year by the new Congress,” Bannon predicted.

Host Tucker Carlson prefaced his interview by saying Bannon “had nothing to do with January 6” and committed no crimes related to the Capitol Riot that day.

The Norfolk, Va., native underlined that he does not expect nor does he explicitly want a concerted Republican defense of him following the sentencing.

Former Trump White House chief strategist Steve Bannon speaks with the media at the end of the opening day of his trial on contempt of Congress charges. On Friday, a federal judge denied his request for a new trial after he was convicted in July.

Bannon said that instead, Republicans should focus on winning the midterm elections decisively so that they can go about deconstructing biased sectors of the bureaucracy that are engaging in heavy-handed, politically-motivated behavior.

“There’s no substitute for victory. We have a very good opportunity here to shatter the Democratic Party as a national political institution – from school boards to state legislatures to attorney general secretaries of state to take the House by 40 or 50 seats and maybe take the Senate by four or five seats,” he said.

“To me, elected officials right now should just focus on winning – and winning with the biggest wave we can. I can do this myself with my lawyers. I don’t need Republicans having my back. What I want Republicans to do is in the new Congress focus on cleaning at the rat’s nest at DOJ and clean out the rat’s nest at the FBI.”

Carlson went on to cite House Judiciary Committee member Matt Gaetz’s, R-Fla., response to the sentencing – in which the Pensacola lawmaker said U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Matthew M. Graves – who prosecuted Bannon – appeared to be a “partisan Democrat.”

“He was on Joe Biden’s domestic policy committee in the 2020 campaign and worked for other Democratic campaigns,” Carlson said.

According to Graves’ nomination questionnaire, the Reading, Pa., native “briefly assisted” with vice presidential vetting for 2004 presidential nominee John Kerry – who ultimately chose then-North Carolina Sen. John Edwards. Graves also served on the advance-team for the Clinton-Gore 1996 campaign.

Bannon said America is not a “free [country] right now” and that FBI raids on pro-life civilians peacefully holding sit-ins at abortion centers and Justice Department targeting of parents offering countering viewpoints at school board meetings is illustrative of that.

“That’s why I’m a big believer in defund[ing] the FBI – use the appropriations process to defund both these apparatuses until they come to the table.”

“I think the only way you’re going to do it is you got to start at the top. We got to impeach [FBI Director Chris] Wray and we’ve got to impeach Merrick Garland after full investigations.”

Bannon suggested Garland could be impeached and removed from office based on the administration’s refusal to enforce federal law at the Mexican border.

Republicans have also considered investigating other Biden-linked individuals before a potential GOP-led legislature, including Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and First Son Robert Hunter Biden.

Bannon offered respect toward Judge Carl Nichols, the Trump appointee who sentenced him, saying his own legal team is working hard on multifaceted appeals involving use-of-attorney, separation-of-powers, executive privilege and the “structure” of the January 6 Committee itself.

Critics have questioned the latter aspect due to the fact there is no formal ranking member – Republican in this case – appointed by the sitting Minority Leader.

Rep. Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., pulled his full slate of appointees after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., refused to seat two of them – Reps. James Banks of Indiana and Jim Jordan of Ohio.

The Republicans on the committee, Liz Cheney of Wyoming and Adam Kinzinger of Illinois, were not McCarthy appointees.

“This is an unbridgeable gap,’ Bannon later concluded. “You have the Republicans and the MAGA forces on one side, you have these radical Democrats and the other – this is not rule of law, it’s like a banana republic. You can’t compromise on this. There’s no substitute for victory. We have to win massively on the 8th.”

The tragedy might be that America has reached the end of her being a Republic. With the now corrupted FBI with its abuse of its power as observed that it took a sinister part in the insidious set up against the patriots on January 6, 2021 and the later FBI harassment of American Patriots who attended that January 6th rally and the Biden gulag for tyrant Joe’s political prisoners from the day of 1/6/22 and now the FBI raid invasion of residents of Donald Trump, along which many awful other event sines that have occurred since Biden took Office on 1/20/21 those are omens that are overwhelming that United States is come to the very end of her Republic. This is indeed, very tragic and sad.

With the infected and thoroughly infiltrated leftist FBI and considering all the terrible harm Joe Biden has done to the United States is still doing and will continue to do is so very horrendously terrible that the damage might be irreversible. I really hope I’m wrong.

President imposter Joe Biden is leading America to ruin. The terrible harm that Biden is doing to the USA might even be irreversible. As Abraham Lincoln had said, “You can’t unscramble eggs.”

Joe Biden in a recent speech condemning extreme “political violence.” At face value, that statement seems OK.

Nevertheless, a number of things are wrong. in what he said about “political violence” Biden was speaking about the mayhem that occurred on January 6, 2021, Biden even said that, and slanderously called the American patriots” insurrectionists” who had been framed in that leftist set up, but he said nothing about the most extreme horrendous political violence carried out, repeatedly in different cities by the violent lawless criminal and malicious and even, at times, murderous Marxist, of Antifa and BLM.

Furthermore, Biden didn’t condemn the political /religious violence, many times over, by Muslim terrorists. As one of the major characters in Iran’s Islamic revolution in 1979, Ayatollah Khomeini had, rightly, declared, “All Islam is politics.” [1]

In addition, Biden completely failed to condemn all violence, not only “political violence.”

For the horrible reality is the there is much non-political violence ranging from bands of Criminal gangs, as the most heinous and evil MS-13 to domestic home violence.

That speech delivered by Joe Biden was terrible and so is he.

Forgive me, this is just talking: Eric Garland and Joe Biden should be dismembered. They are a threat to the US gov’t and its citizens.

Apparently, of officials in power in the Federal Bureau of Investigation have never read or don’t really believe in the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution. This is because the Biden/ Harris / Pelosi regime had the FBI conduct an old time like Soviet type invasion of the home of Donald Trump in a raid of political harassment.

What a terrible abuse of Federal power, which was not what, the FBI was originally designed to be used for.

Therefore, maybe the now corrupted FBI thoroughly infiltrated, horrible far -left wing with Red/Green that corruption is so ingrained in that formerly good federal organization the damage done to it might be completely irreversible. As beyond repair and reform.

The DOJ and the FBI MUST BE REJECTED, REPLACED, AND COMPLETELY REBORN with completely new leadership and membership. They are beyond repair. Joe Biden must go now! Forget the constitution; he is a mole of cancer to the entire country; his son is a nearby apple off the same tree.

That horrible Joe Biden willingly allows those who a far more intelligent than him in their insidious and manipulative ways to control the now politically correct corrupted FBI that has been thoroughly influenced and infiltrated by those active in the Red/Green alliance to come down hard on Conservatives.

Biden going so far as to slanderously label them as “extremists” and White supremacists” All the while ignoring and eve supporting the real extremist as those violent and murderous Marxist hooligans of Antifa and BLM.

The Biden regime now uses the FBI as it’s tool to come down hard in persecution of that average American patriot citizen,

For that treasonous treacherous villain, “president” pretender Biden has cause and will continue cause tremendous harm.

Furthermore, as declared before and worth declaring again. Which is that “Joe Biden is an affront to the Presidency of the United States and a disgrace to the US Constitution as well as a catastrophe for America and a disaster for the American people.”

It is a deliberate attack on our civil rights and the Constitution. The January 6th prisoners were not charged and were jailed without due process of the law they also were denied their 6th amendment rights. They are political prisoners just like in Nazi Germany, Leninist and Stalinist Russia. Alex Jones was told by the rogue judge that he was guilty and everything he said was a lie before any evidence could be presented. Jones was denied his due process of the law and his 1st, 4th, 5th and 6th amendment rights were violated. Like it has been said they want to get to the normal citizens. Trump and Jones are just in the way.

It is “on sight” ….. not “on site”
“on site” means “on location”
“on sight” means when seen.
Damn you Dunb.

And, considering that “abortion” is murder ……… or would YOU like a “free of charge, post partum abortion”?

Mayorkas of DHS, or Merrick Garland, the AG, along with Chris Wray of the FBI if investigated by a GOP congress would simply refuse to cooperate the same as Obama’s AG Eric Holder did

I am aware of mr. bannon from sources other than tucker carlson. I am no longer a viewer of tucker carlson even though I had been an avid fan and nightly viewer. his interview with kanye west it turns out was edited and the most virulent anti semitic rants were cut from what we saw and heard on tucker carlson.

Are you stupid enough to buy a wall from Bannon? Kinda looks that way.

Barr, Cippolone, and dozens of other Trump staffers complied with the subpoenas. Bannon should have too.
