The House of Representatives has voted to hold Steve Bannon in criminal contempt of Congress, following his refusal to “cooperate” with the partisan January 6 Select Committee.

Bannon, the co-founder of Breitbart News and former senior advisor to President Donald Trump, had been subpoenaed to appear in front of the House Select Committee in charge of investigating the January 6 protests last week, but refused to appear, with his lawyer citing concerns around the executive privilege of President Trump.

Unsurprisingly, the January 6 Committee decided to hold Bannon in contempt, which they unanimously voted in favor of on Tuesday. On Thursday, the House also voted in favor of holding Bannon in criminal contempt of Congress, 229 to 202. Along with the two House Republicans who sit on the January 6 Committee, Representatives Liz Cheney and Adam Kinziger, seven other Republicans voted in favor of the motion: Reps. Brian Fitzpatrick (PA), Anthony Gonzalez (OH), Jaime Herrera Beutler (WA), John Katko (NY), Nancy Mace (SC), Peter Meijer (MI), and Fred Upton (MI).

“Congress is prohibited from conducting criminal investigations, period. But that’s exactly what the select committee is doing: conducting an illicit, criminal investigation into American citizens,” said Representative Jim Banks during the debate.

“Congress can only issue subpoenas that serve a legislative purpose. The question that the committee must answer is, why are they seeking information about a permitted political rally?” Banks, along with Ohio Representative Jim Jordan, had been originally referred to the Committee by Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, but their appointments were vetoed by Speaker Pelosi.

Despite President Trump blasting the Committee as being “composed of Radical Left Democrats and a few horrible RINO Republicans,” the House Republicans did not formally whip their members to vote against the resolution, although they did strongly encourage a no vote.

The matter of whether or not anything will happen to Bannon for being in contempt of Congress now passes over to Attorney General Merrick Garland, who on Thursday was quizzed by Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee over the Department of Justice’s reaction to January 6, including the treatment of prisoners, and whether federal agents had any impact on what happened.

Joe Biden has previously stated that anyone who defies a Congressional subpoena over January 6 should be prosecuted. It is unclear whether his view will have any impact on Garland’s decision.

Stillness in the Storm Editor: Why did we post this?

The news is important to all people because it is where we come to know new things about the world, which leads to the development of more life goals that lead to life wisdom. The news also serves as a social connection tool, as we tend to relate to those who know about and believe the things we do. With the power of an open truth-seeking mind in hand, the individual can grow wise and the collective can prosper.

What is our mission? Why do we post what we do?

Our mission here is to curate (share) articles and information that we feel is important for the evolution of consciousness. Most of that information is written or produced by other people and organizations, which means it does not represent our views or opinions as managing staff of Stillness in the Storm. Some of the content is written by one of our writers and is clearly marked accordingly. Just because we share a CNN story that speaks badly about the President doesn’t mean we’re promoting anti-POTUS views. We’re reporting on the fact as it was reported, and that this event is important for us to know so we can better contend with the challenges of gaining freedom and prosperity. Similarly, just because we share a pro/anti-[insert issue or topic] content, such as a pro-second amendment piece or an anti-military video doesn’t mean we endorse what is said. Again, information is shared on this site for the purpose of evolving consciousness. In our opinion, consciousness evolves through the process of accumulating knowledge of the truth and contemplating that knowledge to distill wisdom and improve life by discovering and incorporating holistic values. Thus, sharing information from many different sources, with many different perspectives is the best way to maximize evolution. What’s more, the mastery of mind and discernment doesn’t occur in a vacuum, it is much like the immune system, it needs regular exposure to new things to stay healthy and strong. If you have any questions as to our mission or methods please reach out to us at [email protected].
