"One of the major questions the January 6th Committee is dealing with is whether the rule of law will be able to endure as a pillar of American democracy. After all, we have seen the rule of law put to the test here in our recent past." - Congressman Bennie Thompson, Chair of the United States House Select Committee on the January 6 Attack


Friend,

Last night went as expected. The January 6th Committee recommended contempt charges against Steve Bannon for his refusal to cooperate with a committee subpoena, teeing up a vote on the House floor. Next comes the hard part.

The 147 are lining up in formation to vote against holding Bannon in contempt, but they’re widely expected to lose. Instead our focus is on Attorney General Merrick Garland who will be in charge of prosecuting Steve Bannon for his contempt of Congress. Charges should be a foregone conclusion. After all, Bannon publicly promoted the insurrection on his podcast. But according to numerous legal experts, it is exceedingly rare for the Department of Justice to prosecute anyone for defying a Congressional subpoena.

The stakes couldn’t be higher: either Steve Bannon is charged with contempt or the rule of law will be under threat.

We have to let Merrick Garland and the DOJ know that we demand the restoration of the rule of law. Sign our petition to demand that Steve Bannon is prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, friend.
 

For justice,

Operation 147
