22. Garland himsel may not charge Bannon with anything.

It is most likely the DC Attorney General or the grand jury that will bring charges. I can only tell you with some certainty that Bannon will be charged with contempt of Congress. Any other charges depend on what Garland (and a whole lot of other investigators across the country) can find in the course of their investigations, how much of it falls under federal jurisdiction, and, when all is said and done, how willing Bannon will be to rat on his pals to save his skin, and vice versa. Too many variables to predict anything with certainty, but the potential is there.

So what is Garland doing? He is digging. Silently and methodically. And the more he digs, the more skeletons he is likely to find in Bannon's closet. Remember Watergate? It started with an investigation of a break-in at an office building.
