New January 6 subpoenas increase pressure on Garland to set an example with Bannon

16. The DOJ has an obligation to respond to Congress' specific referral.

Doing otherwise would open the DOJ to exploitation of Congress. The DOJ doesn't need this referral to gather evidence for a series of Bannon indictments. The DOJ is flush with money to investigate Bannon to Mars and back. They don't need a Congressional referral to justify their investigations. But they DO need to take it one step at a time and respect Congress' referral for prosecution. I don't care if an indictment is comparable to "jaywalking". It's an indictment and puts pressure on Bannon to disclose or face more criminal prosecutions.

If there's anything positive that we can surmise about the DOJ right now, it's that they HAVEN'T issued statements declaring Bannon's indictment an improper use of DOJ resources. While we all want the show to address Trump's coup attempt in a concrete way, we can only anticipate what is in the works by what is NOT being said, IMO.
