The House of Representatives Voted on Thursday afternoon to hold former top Trump aide Steve Bannon in contempt for his refusal to submit to a subpoena which demanded he testify before congress.

As Axios reports:

The House of Representatives voted 229-202 on Thursday to hold former Trump strategist Steve Bannon in contempt of Congress for refusing to comply with a subpoena from the Jan. 6 select committee.

Why it matters: The Justice Department will now consider bringing criminal charges against Bannon, marking a significant escalation in the Jan. 6 committee’s efforts to enforce subpoenas against Trump allies who refuse to cooperate.

Between the lines: If the vote demonstrated Democrats’ united front in using any means necessary to uncover facts about Trump’s role in Jan. 6, it also showed similar unity among Republicans for opposing the investigation.

A total of only 9 Republicans voted with Democrats to hold Bannon in contempt.

    1. Old Pelosi wears the crown for Witch Hunts! That is because she truly looks like, acts like, and pushes witch hunts in congress with zeal as a WITCH!

    1. GOP Representatives Adam Kinzinger of Illinois, Liz Cheney of Wyoming, Peter Meijer of Michigan, Fred Upton of Michigan, Anthony Gonzalez of Ohio, Nancy Mace of South Carolina, Jaime Herrera Beutler of Washington, Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania and John Katko of New York voted to approve the measure along with 220 Democrats.

      1. I’m very surprised and disappointed in Nancy Mace — the rest we know are traitors aka RINOS. I’ll stop any future donations to her . BOYCOTTING ALL RINOS !!

      2. Perhaps the VOTERS of their respective STATES will take NOTICE and either Vote for
        RECALL or Vote them OUT next cycle.
        I breathed a deep breath when NONE of them were from my State.

        1. Two of them, Fred Upton and Pete Meijer are both from MI. Here are their credentials: Fred Upton: Uncle of Kate Upton, actress well-known for her hot bod Pete Meijer, heir to the grocery chain is known for his biased’ opinions – he’d be better off stocking shelves.

      3. The ‘usual’ group of two-faced, mis-placed Democrats. I cannot comprehend why they just become Independents…there are probably more ‘like them’ therefore building a forced to be reckoned with.

  1. How come Eric Holder was not prosecuted for not responding to a subpoena when he was the AG for Obama? Oh,that’s right,he wasn’t a Republican!

    1. Rules for thee but none for me! The current motto of the dimwit nitwits and the country does see the actions of the liars, cheats, thieves!

  2. But the let piece of 💩Zuckerberg lie to their faces and don’t charge him with anything🤷‍♂️ Congress can eat 💩

    1. What about Adam Schiff and Nadler saying riots were all illusions, and AOC and Omar lying through their big teeth!

  3. I think the voters of America need to remember these Congressional members and note vote for them on the upcoming elections. This Democratic party are starting to push the wrong button. It is time for them to back off. America we need to reflect Donald Trump for president in 2024. God bless America, land that I love.

    1. If nothing is ever done about the 2020 election, why would you believe another election will be any different??? And besides all of that, there is an extremely good chance the United States will not even survive another twelve months, let alone another three years.
      God has been sending His warnings of the destruction of the United States since the mid-1980s.

  4. Where does the House have the power to subpoena people outside of the government in an investigation they should not be doing in the first place? This just proves the abuse of power the demonrats are doing to go after any and all Trump associates and supporters. They are evil.

    1. globalists and their puppets need to keep on investigating Americans so that the republicans don’t have time to investigate globalist puppet criminals .

  5. It’s becoming apparent that a) Nancy should not stand for election again but if not that certainly no the speaker (although unless there is massive disruption of the fabric of the 2022 election she won’t be in the majority). The same applies to Dizzy Lizzy and ketzinget (who is going to be gerrymandered out of his position anyway) and b) that the deal don’t grasp the fact that the voters have a memory and it’s only 380+days to the midterms

  6. Now it goes to the injustice department for prosecution. Bannon has excellent lawyers to defend this unconstitutional, unlawful, contempt charge. They will have egg on their faces. Especially Cheney, and the other rinos who voted for this.

  7. it wasn’t that long ago that the democrat resistance failed to show up for the congressional clowns. now the gop plays by rules already set and now the resistance is demanding compliance, for someone else. the hypocrisy is staggering and should be called out.

  8. All and good if this is ALL Bannon is guilty of compared to the list Ratws have done WRONG, its laughable……Go after the ones who have done serious wrongs to our country…especially our President and his minions, his son and family all have broken laws, his cabinet, holy cow, people get down to the REAL lawbreakers!!!!!!!!!!! Sick of them and the crimes they get away with…….make THEM accountable too, JUSTICE not a slap on the hand…….but due justice by LAW……. Start with fixing the border, undo Afghanistan FU, the Virus was a sham,flu ? maybe.list is so long would take a week to list it all…. they have ruined our country not missed a court date and WHY pray tell has not one been held to answer for the wrongs done. I am by far not the only one who thinks this way…………..COME on 2022 can’t come soon enough….if they do not blow us to cinders or steal another election………………….back patters will try again.

  9. And who could those 9 repubs be. Let me think, Liz Cheney, Kinzger, who else. Should be ashamed of themselves. Even the FBI doesn’t agree with congress, and considering that agency is all democratic political do-boys, that’s something.

  10. The Corrupt DOJ can go pound sand. Steve Bannon is not a criminal but they are. Disband all corrupt Judges and Lawyers and prosecutors. They are all corrupted and compromised

  11. Just what does it mean to be held in contempt? I suspect it means nothing as there have been people in the past that were held in contempt and it did not slow them down even a little bit. As for this so-called commission it is just another joke by the second chief clown Pelosi!!

    1. Bannon is an American republican and will be judged by globalists and their puppets who hate America and hate republicans .

    1. THEY’VE BEEN LISTED FOR CRYIN’ OUT LOUD!!!
      Ya’ HAVE TO READ something other than your OWN stupid comments!

    Let Us Remember these names on Election Day and Vote FOR their Conservative Opponent.

  13. It didn’t seem to hurt Holder who was giving weapons to mexican gangs in mexico or Hillary Clinton destroying those hard drives when she was told not to….SCREW YOUR CONTEMPT ASSWIPE DEMOSHITS…

  14. Of course they voted this way they all do as Pelosi the old pig tells them. Congress is nothing but a joke at this point, completely worthless.

  15. to bad we didn’t hold the dems to the same standards suring the BLM riots… Oh maybe we can, ut that will not happen because the reps are just part of the dog and pony show… look to the nine reps that voted with the dems. Now all expect Chennny to vote with anything dem.. that bitch needs to be hung and before these dems because she is a traitor… not only to American buit to the people that voted er into office

  16. This is good and as usual the dimwit nitwits will regret this. Thus far, their own have ignored the subpoenas in the past. If this is the resolution for this bunch going forward, the favor will be returned. As as always the dimwit nitwits will regret their actions. So Be It! And as always their rabid actions will have consequences they will not like. Harry Reid learned that the Hard Way, so will this bunch of communist radicals of the left.

  17. That’s great news. Congress deserves all of our contempt. The nation is going into the toilet due to our cowardly legislature and vicious executive branch. I’m past 80 now and for the first time, expect to see a revolution spontaneously erupt any day.

  18. Wow looks like he gets to be part of Eric Holder and Hillary Clintons PRIVATE GROUP….Clinton was TOLD BY THE FBI not to DESTROY ANYTHING but she went ahead and smashed then BLEACHHED THE DRIVES, wonder what she was trying to hide…Holder was given semi automatic weapons to mexican drug cartels who then used the weapons to KILL DEA AGENTS. These are ALL FACTS and not disputable…If you think otherwise you are just a dumb ass demoshit drinking way to much COMMUNISTS COOLADE….
