Contempt of Congress

Peter Navarro and Steve Bannon both refused to comply with congressional subpoenas to testify before the J6 Committee.  Both were then held in Contempt of Congress.  Eventually, both were found guilty of defying the subpoenas and sentenced to a 4-month stint in jail.  This was an escalation from previous incidents.  For example, Attorney General Eric Holder was held in Contempt of Congress, but he did not go to jail.  Of course, he wasn't going to prosecute himself.  Lois Lerner of the IRS was found in Contempt, but she was not prosecuted either.  Interestingly, Eric Holder was the AG.  It is noteworthy that the Republicans were jailed while the Democrats were not prosecuted.

Bill and Hillary Clinton have refused to comply with congressional subpoenas to testify regarding Jeffery Epstein.  Where the Biden Administration went hard on former President Donald Trump and those who served in his administration (Navarro and Bannon), what will the Trump Administration do?  Did the Democrats cross the Rubicon by jailing Navarro & Bannon and serially prosecuting Trump?  If the Republicans don't do the same in return, will the temperature be lowered when a Democrat again takes office or will they have missed their one opportunity to prevent their demise?  Sounds crazy.

Political assassinations and violence have been rising.  Democrats have shown an eagerness to use government against their rivals, which has been ongoing for a long time.  Lois Lerner was accused of targeting right-leaning groups, thus her contempt charge.  That was more than a decade ago.  By the time President Biden was in office, the FBI was searching a former First Lady's underwear drawer.  Blue states are resisting ICE's efforts to remove criminal aliens, which has resulted in violence and deaths.  Yes, things are escalating.  Tim Pool's long-standing claim that Civil War II is coming - maybe it is already here - looks to be less outlandish every day.

Democrats had no problem attempting to imprison Donald Trump.  Turnabout is fair play.  Jail Bill and Hillary for Contempt of Congress, just like Democrats did to Navarro and Bannon.  Only when the stakes are even can the temperature be brought down.  Either everyone gets the Holder/Lerner slap on the wrist or everyone gets 4-months in jail.  No two-tiered system.
