CNN’s Avlon: The Jan. 6 Committee Is ‘100% Right’ To Pursue Criminal Contempt Charges Against Bannon

EXCERPT:

AVLON: “If you refuse to answer a subpoena, you should be held in contempt of court, or Congress as the case may be. And that's why the January 6th investigation committee is 100 percent right to pursue criminal contempt charges against Steve Bannon. Look, one of the reasons we're in this mess is because the Trump administration withered muscle memory around actually enforcing the law, often through obstruction and [indecipherable] the council's opinions and the general politization of the DOJ. When confronted by congressional subpoenas for its inner circle, they stalled for time, potentially proving that delay can mean denial of justice. And all that's got to stop. Enforcing the law without fear of favor is the minimum that a return to normal requires. In other words, to defend our democracy, just follow the damn law. And this applies to issues big and small. That's why it's appropriate to see Trump required to give a deposition in an assault case involving his security team during a demonstration outside Trump Tower.”
