Jeanine Pirro makes disgusting move in court - Brian Tyler Cohen
Legal Breakdown episode 664: DOJ moves to dismiss Steven Bannon’s conviction.
====================
- The Department of Justice (DOJ), under Pam Bondi and Jeanine Pirro, filed a motion to dismiss Steve Bannon’s 2020 criminal conviction for contempt of Congress, despite him having already served a four-month prison sentence.
- The motion, signed by Jeanine Pirro without a prosecutor’s name, states the dismissal is “in the interests of justice” but offers no explanation, raising ethical concerns.
- The timing coincides with renewed scrutiny of Bannon’s ties to Jeffrey Epstein, revealed in recently released DOJ documents, suggesting possible political motivations.
- This move parallels previous DOJ actions under Trump’s influence, such as the dismissal of Eric Adams’ corruption case and Mike Flynn’s charges, where political leverage was suspected.
- The dismissal is controversial because it occurs four years after conviction and sentencing, and the case was already concluded, with no new evidence presented.
- While Bannon may not gain practical benefits from the dismissal, it could enhance his public image and provide material for his media platforms.
