The Spin


The Justice Department is finally correcting a grave injustice by moving to dismiss Steve Bannon's conviction from the sham January 6 committee's politically weaponized subpoena. This prosecution was pure lawfare — a deliberate abuse of the justice system to target political opponents. Dismissing this case sends a clear message that the era of politicized prosecutions is ending.

Erasing Bannon's conviction after he served his full sentence isn't justice — it's obstruction disguised as principle. Bannon was convicted by a jury and the conviction was upheld by Trump's own judge, yet now Trump's personal lawyer turned DOJ deputy is vacating it. This reversal shields a liability with Epstein connections from accountability while weaponizing DOJ as a protection racket.
