Stephen Colbert - "We're Going After Him" - Guest Rep. Adam Schiff On Steve Bannon



Stephen welcomes Congressman Adam Schiff back to the show and gets right down to business, asking the head of the House Intelligence Committee what Congress plans to do about Steve Bannon's refusal to testify. Stick around for parts two and three of this fascinating interview, and look for Rep. Schiff's new book, "Midnight In Washington," which is available everywhere now.

Rep. Schiff Watched GOP Colleagues "Slowly Surrender To The Immorality" Of The Former President



One of the reasons Rep. Adam Schiff wrote his book about the Jan 6th insurrection, "Midnight In Washington," was to call out his colleagues in Congress for capitulating to the former president and spreading the Big Lie that encouraged the attack on the U.S. Capitol.

He may soon have the legal power to arrest Bannon, he’s not gonna let it pass him by. If he doesn’t use that power, Republican cultists certainly would. He’d be under the jail by now if the situation were reversed.

The charges will be a misdemeanor and he will take year in prison and that puss riddled POS will return doing the same thing or worse.

He is repugnant, looks like he slept under a bridge, but it was most probably under a rock.

What happens next? If he is sent to jail, that sounds deadly serious to me.

Stephen Colbert obviously follows the issues closely and asked all the right questions.

I hope this doesn't end up in the bucket of empty promises, Bannon must be made accountable for his crimes, he already got away with the pardon after defrauding republican's own base. I have a friend who is a republican, he contributed to "the wall", asked me to contribute and of course I said no, once the fraud information came out I sent it to him, he said was "can't even trust a veteran anymore", but I wonder if he understands that Bannon was involved.

He not only knows his stuff and is absolutely determined, but he's also so calm at the same time, never seems likely to lose it!
