Former Donald Trump adviser Steven Bannon has pledged that a second Trump term will bring "accountability" to those involved in the ex-president's prosecutions.
Speaking at a Turning Point USA event in Detroit on Saturday, Bannon singled out Attorney General Merrick Garland , Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco , and Special Counsel Jack Smith .
Trump, who was convicted in New York last month of falsifying business records, is under federal indictment in two jurisdictions, where he faces charges of trying to overturn the 2020 election and retaining classified documents after leaving office. The former president has also been indicted in Georgia for trying to overturn the election results in the state. He has pleaded not guilty to all counts.
Trump has said he will seek "retribution" for what he calls his "persecution" at the hands of President Joe Biden and the Department of Justice. Biden has said he has no involvement. Meanwhile, Biden's Department of Justice has secured a conviction of his son Hunter Biden on federal gun charges. The younger Biden is also set to stand trial in Los Angeles on tax felonies.
For his part, Bannon is scheduled to report to prison on July 1 after being convicted of contempt of Congress. He had ignored a subpoena issued by the House Jan. 6 select committee.
On Sunday's Alex Witt Reports on MSNBC, the host played a clip of Bannon's remarks the night before.
"We're coming after Lisa Monaco, Merrick Garland, the senior members of DOJ that are prosecuting President Trump," Bannon told the crowd. "Jack Smith. And this is not about vengeance. This is not about revenge. This is not about retribution. This is about saving this republic! We're gonna use the Constitution and the rule of law to go after you and hold you accountable."
Alex Witt turned to former U.S. Attorney Joyce Vance for her reaction.
"How chilling is it that Steve Bannon is naming names ?" the host asked.
"So, for somebody who says it's not about revenge or vengeance, he seems to contradict himself pretty quickly," Vance answered. "The career ranks at DOJ, the people who do their jobs day in and day out and are committed to the Constitution, those folks aren't legitimate targets for retribution. And I think it's chilling to hear what's going on here. This is payback for Donald Trump being held accountable."

That's coz he's dumber than a box of rocks and doesn't know he contradicted himself
he seems pretty unhappy that any contact with his hero will violate the terms of trump's probation...
They should let them share a cell
then it would be legal...
Bannon gets to be the mattress.
LOL!
he gets to pick up the soap when trump drops it in the shower...
I read that bannon won't be lucky enough to get sent to club fed...
With all that flab and fabric he might be comfortable, if you could get past the stench.
he's really unhappy that he'll only be able to wear one jumpsuit at a time...
I hear Lewisburg is nice this time of year....
as long as he gets tossed into the general population, I'm happy...
some lifers will probably do almost anything for some ramen packets and a brick of velveeta...
too bad peter navarro spent all his money on lawyers before he went in...
Sounds like bannon and #34 have a Hit List
The audio of Bannon's full comments on this is quite a bit worse than how it looks in print.
he'll make friends easily in prison... /s
Butt! I thought it was Democrats who were practicing "Lawfare"!
34 Felonies And What Does Trump Get? Nominated by the gop...
It's ok when they do it
If Trump has an "Enemies List", we might both make it onto it...
I doubt that. But we are on an enemies list.
I remember Ye Olde Battle-Hag of Jersey had, "Dossiers".
Which was before the ban induced gender reassignment!
it's good to have goals to work towards...
Should not be too long before Bannon starts handing out watches from a box full to the brim a la his hero Trotsky.
gee, I sure hope they sell lube and tic tacs at the prison commissary...
As we have known all along Donald is the biggest NO-LOAD in his stack of NO-LOADS. People need to stop listening to and playing 'footsie' with this tacky human being and piss-poor repeat president wannabe! All Donald has is his 'bite' and he can only 'tear' and 'chew chunks' that his surrogates and supporters bring him. Stop playing with someone who only knows how to 'hit' back. Beat Donald to the punch: Go on the offense and. . .Knock his butt out—politically! NOW!
The newest comedy in D.C. ''Trump & Bannon'' will imitate the ''Flying Walenda's'' it's going to be fun to watch them crash and burn.
... "like nobody has ever seen before."
Bannon is a clear and present danger to the American way of life. He loves Putin, though.
