Recently, Congressman Thomas Massie suggested that the House of Representatives should retroactively withdraw the subpoena against Steve Bannon.
If there's a case screaming "Selective prosecution," it's the "Contempt of Congress" cases against Bannon and Navarro.
The last such prosecution before Bannon occurred in 1961.
In Bannon's case, to make his prosecution even more egregious, the Democrat DOJ pressed forward with its "Contempt" prosecution even after Bannon, with the consent of President Trump, withdrew his objection based on executive subpoena and offered to testify.
In the Bannon case, the issue is about preserving and protecting the Constitution by imposing checks and balances against an out-of-control Executive Branch that has turned the once-respected DOJ into a politically weaponized death star.
The real test is whether Johnson will use his power as speaker to end the unconstitutional prosecutions against Bannon and Navarro.
Is Johnson, like so many hapless Republican speakers of the past, all bark and no bite? Or will he actually use the Bannon case to strike back against tyranny? We're about to see what kind of stuff Johnson is made of.
