Trump blasts Biden DOJ for jailing Steve Bannon, calls for J6 Committee to be indicted

Trump posted on Truth Social, “It is a Total and Complete American Tragedy that the Crooked Joe Biden Department of Injustice is so desperate to jail Steve Bannon, and every other Republican, for that matter, for not SUBMITTING to the Unselect Committee of Political Thugs, made up of all Democrats, and two CRAZED FORMER REPUBLICAN LUNATICS, Cryin' Adam Kinzinger, and Liz "Out of Her Mind" Cheney.”

"It has been irrefutably proven that it was the Unselects who committed actual crimes when they deleted and destroyed all material evidence, in a pathetic attempt to protect Crazy Nancy Pelosi and other Democrats from the TRUTH - THAT I DID ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG. The unAmerican Weaponization of our Law Enforcement has reached levels of Illegality never thought possible before. INDICT THE UNSELECT J6 COMMITTEE FOR ILLEGALLY DELETING AND DESTROYING ALL OF THEIR ‘FINDINGS!’ MAGA2024.”

Bannon was ordered to report to federal prison on July 1 and was originally given four months for being held in contempt of Congress. Bannon was out awaiting appeal of that sentence, and the appeal was denied. He was sentenced in October 2022 and the sentence was placed on hold pending an appeal. The appeals court in May upheld the conviction and he was then ordered to prison on Thursday.

He was convicted of not complying with a subpoena from the J6 Committee to testify about the riot on January 6, 2021. Bannon was found guilty of contempt of Congress despite having later attempted to comply with the subpoena. The Justice Department claimed the damage had already been done.
