for contempt of Congress!!

FINALLY....A federal grand jury has returned an indictment against former rump adviser Steve Bannon for contempt of Congress, the Justice Department announced today.

Attorney General Merrick Garland has been under tremendous political pressure to indict Bannon since the House referred the rump ally to the Justice Department for contempt on October 21.

 "Since my first day in office, I have promised Justice Department employees that together we would show the American people by word and deed that the Department adheres to the rule of law, follows the facts and the law, and pursues equal justice under the law," Garland said in a statement today. "Today's charges reflect the Department's steadfast commitment to these principles."

Bannon, 67, was charged with one count related to his refusal to appear for a deposition and another related to his refusal to produce documents. Each count carries a minimum of 30 days and a maximum of one year in jail, the Justice Department said.
