Watch: Steve Bannon says Merrick Garland ‘will be going to jail’ if Republicans retake Congress


OPINION: This article contains commentary which may reflect the author’s opinion


Steve Bannon, the former Trump White House Chief Strategist, understands the actions that the American people want to see in Washington DC far better than almost anyone else- save perhaps President Donald J. Trump. So Bannon is taking aim at US Attorney General Merrick Garland this week, sending the media into a panic.

“The FBI is a Gestapo,” Bannon said in the War Room. “The Justice Department – Merrick Garland, you’re going to go to prison, brother.”

Bannon has been brutally honest about how he views Garland:

Bannon is especially targeting Garland for his role in the FBI raid drama earlier in August, saying Garland will go to prison for it when Republicans take back the majority in the US House after the midterms in November.

Bannon, the host of the compelling War Room program, explains the bloated- centralized government and its usurpations over the ‘little guy’ or the ordinary American citizen in layman’s terms, and people flock to hear his ideas.

Further, Bannon is the ultimate insider having connections to media and lawmakers, so his discussions on the War Room are tainted by some insider information. The media knows that about Bannon, even though they all want to pretend Bannon is some isolated and out-of-touch ‘wingnut.’

And Bannon is not shy about projecting what he sees happening in the future to his audience, which infuriates the left.

While the mainstream media mock Bannon and the MAGA movement in general, assuming that Republicans do not have the numbers to take back the majority in November, so they don’t have to worry about Bannon’s pointed remarks, they are also on pins and needles every time Bannon speaks and know he is up to something dangerous.

The opponents of Bannon are defensive about Bannon’s comments regarding Garland and are acting shocked about Bannon’s continuous involvement in shaping politics.

Why the lapdog media is surprised about Bannon’s behavior is odd. Bannon laid out his battle plan in 2017 and was very open about what he was doing, and has been very consistent and effective.

Fox News reported in 2017, when Bannon left the White House to get to work for the American people:

“If there’s any confusion out there, let me clear it up: I’m leaving the White House and going to war for Trump against his opponents – on Capitol Hill, in the media, and in corporate America.”

As Steve Bannon leaves the White House, he says he is getting ready to wage his populist campaign from the outside.”

So Bannon has been on a six-year-long- daily grind and is making a lot of progress. Now he is addressing what he sees happening with Garland, the DOJ, and the FBI- and he is likely on to something big.

“We’re going to be so relentless when we take power this year on your impeachment, but then after your impeachment to file criminal charges against you, you people are pure and entire scum. Okay?” Bannon told his audience.

The news cycle shook and gyrated with the Bannon updates.

“Former White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon compared the FBI to Holocaust-era German secret police and claimed the DOJ used ‘sneaky law enforcement tactics to try and take down the MAGA movement with the raid of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate,” the Daily Mail reported.

“You have weaponized this from the beginning,” Bannon said, referring to the Department of Justice and its attacks on the American people.

Bannon often talks about Garland’s targeting of parents at school boards and participants of the Jan. 6th rally for Trump.

Bannon said Republicans will impeach who he calls “Joe Biden’s AG,” stinging Garland for abusive actions against the American people in favor of playing politics, and added that there would be criminal probes against Garland for his numerous conflicts of interest and abuses of power.

Garland, who has been very slow to offer the American people the transparency we deserve, confirmed three days after the raid that he personally gave the ‘go-ahead’ of the Department of Justice (DOJ) to request a warrant from a judge to search the former president’s Florida home.

The US Federal government has not used its power to abuse a former president in such a manner ever before.

Bannon ripped the Democrats claiming that the weaponization of the DOJ is political because Biden and Democratic lawmakers’ only chance of winning in the midterms and in 2024 is by using ‘sneaky’ law enforcement tactics to stop the ‘MAGA movement.’

“The only way you know you can stop MAGA and stop the ascendant movement of MAGA is quite simply, you’re going to try to use law for – it’s not going to work,” Bannon said.

WATCH:

The Daily Mail reported details about the raid that led up to the latest  Bannon explosion against Garland:

“At least 30 FBI agents descended on Trump’s Palm Beach residence on Monday, August 8.

Several documents, many labeled as the top level of classified, were found among the materials retrieved by the FBI during the raid.

The former president insists the documents were all declassified and said that the FBI also removed documents that contained attorney-client or executive privilege.”
