‘A Complete Miscarriage of Justice’: Burchett on Bannon’s Contempt Sentence and DoJ ‘Overreach’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
Scott: “There are a couple of high Trump aids, former President Trump aids, who are serving sentences, Peter Navarro is serving a sentence right now for contempt of Congress, Steve Bannon is supposed to report to jail in July for contempt of Congress. The Biden Administration didn’t have any problem prosecuting them. What is different about what they did or their cases from what the attorney general is charged with?”
BURCHETT: “That is even worse. That was a bogus committee created by Nancy Pelosi then the speaker wouldn’t — she wanted to make the Republican appointments, which she did, Kinsinger and Liz Cheney, you all know how that turned out. That was just a production produced by a major network as a matter of fact. The whole thing is bogus. Locking up my buddy Steve Bannon, to me, is just a complete miscarriage of justice. Like it or do not like and for other things but the reality is not showing up for a bogus committee is truly a miscarriage of justice. Matt Gaetz has a proposal with the speaker right now that I believe has merit. He is a lawyer and of course, Speaker Johnson is a constitutional lawyer and I believe there is going to be some things coming out on that very shortly. And I would hope so because this is just a complete overreach by the Justice Department. Frankly, we should not stand for it as the American people. When the Republicans are in power, the Democrats are not going to like it anymore either. I think Justice needs to be blind in this case they choose to open and close them when they want.”
