A Big Thank-You to those who urged patience re Bannon

[Just_Vote_Dem]

As a sometime poker player I know the power of waiting till the right time comes-thank you!

1. Maybe it's those millions who urged action that helped make this announcement happen today. nt

2. I think it had to do with the...

Grand Jury and that they work at their own pace which is not to the liking of many who can't stand to wait for anything.

20. Rude.

12. Those millions were orchestrated by those protecting tRump and

his minions. Just which side would stirring up massive distrust and actual conspiracy theories (!) against Biden and his administration benefit? This expected indictment is already being woven into the RW's betrayal narrative as continuation of betrayal, and new sinister insinuations designed to stir up fear, no relief allowed, already posted all over social media, incuding DU.

[Grasswire2]

13. BS just BS.

You are impugning millions of Dems. Just stop.

[Hortensis]

17. WARNING their targeted victims. Past time to become aware.

WHO do you think is behind the constant attempts to divide and turn Democrats against each other, feeding the anti-Democratic conspiracies that are being spread all over social media?

WHO's behind the one, brought and removed here, that Biden's AG is conspiring to block prosecution of tRump and company in return for a Supreme Court appointment after tRump takes over? Clue: It's not a LW "Patriot" movement fighting betrayal by the evil Biden government.

And if that sounds crazy, it's because it is. But it works on some.

Addendum: Forgot to mention, just a little while ago I read one of the many threads that have been pushing it further, this one insinuating that AG Garland had assigned the Bannon case to a tRump agent to handle. This narrative's been pushed for months and is now coming to what the mind fuckers must feel is a satisfying boil. SOP now, just spin all information, valid and invalid, to further the conspiracy theory and keep their victims warped in.

That's where friends need to come in.

21. This +1000!

Well said.

[George II]

18. No. Absolutely not. I'll run down the timeline again............

House cited Bannon for contempt on October 26
The DOJ sends the case to a Grand Jury to consider an indictment
Grand Juries meet only twice a month
The Grand Jury met today
Indictment is handed down by the Grand Jury on November 12.

From beginning to end that's only SEVENTEEN DAYS, certainly not a long time.

We can intelligently assume that the last time the Grand Jury met was 15 days ago (maybe 16 since yesterday was a holiday) - that would have been October 28, only two days after the contempt citation, and most likely their docket was already established.

With all of this in mind, today was the first possible day for an indictment to be handed down.

So much for the DOJ and Garland dragging their feet and "millions" urging action.

People familiar with these things have said that this was remarkably fast.

3. The pressure campaign played a role

[W_HAMILTON]

6. Oh bullshit.

All it did was serve to demoralize fellow Democrats and really anyone that is even the slightest bit interested in the rule of law still today.

Once this is all said and done and the timeline of events comes out, it will most likely show that this has been in progress for quite some time now -- all the while the usual depressing, """they will never be held accountable""" crowd was spewing their bullshit.

[MineralMan]

7. This!

[Grasswire2]

9. bashing other Dems, are ya? nt

[Generic Brad]

22. Other Dems had no qualms about bashing Garland

And now we're claiming credit for pressuring Garland?

[nolabear]

15. It's so easy to fall prey to hysteria.

And I don’t mean that as an insult. We do that. And round the clock near infinite ability to Jack one another up out of fear and anger makes it so easy.

I’ve learned to flow down. That is until my particular ox gets roundly gored. Then I can get caught up as if I don’t know better. 🤷🏼‍♀️

But isn’t it heartening to be reminded that there are all kinds of things being pursued that we don’t know about?

4. Nice OP

Thanks.

[Just_Vote_Dem]

10. My pleasure

[Kaleva]

14. +1

[Kaleva]

16. IMHO, Garland is a person of integrity and handles legal matters by the book.

The kind of person Biden would pick to be AG.

[George II]

19. Unless the Grand Jury considered this case the last time they met, which was only two days....

....after the contempt citation, today was the first day Bannon could possibly have been indicted.
