Schiff informed CNN’s Jim Acosta when asked about the odds of finding to dilemma Steve Bannon:

I think the possibilities are in fact extremely very good. And if we were heading the route of civil litigation, as we had to do for the duration of the last administration mainly because during the final administration, the Justice Section was essentially serving the desires of Donald Trump, not symbolizing the general public fascination. And they were being not about to prosecute individuals for masking up for Donald Trump.

 But it is a new world now. We’re not going to be choosing to go the civil route. We are right now on Tuesday night time heading to be using up a criminal contempt report. It’ll be taken up subsequently in the Property of Representatives. It will be despatched to the Justice Section for prosecution.

And that is a much swifter, far far more major cure. And the fact that if the justice division prosecutes Steve Bannon, other witnesses will see they will encounter genuine consequences such as jail time and perhaps stiff fines. That is a way of getting people’s interest. Bannon’s an important witness in his individual correct, but it’s also important to ship a concept that the rule of regulation is back and individuals are likely to need to pay notice. 

Chairman Schiff is an skilled. He brought up an important point that most of the media protection is leaving out. Prison prosecution is faster. It is a different course of action. If the Justice Department acts speedily and each and every early indicator is that they will, it will not be months or several years right before Steve Bannon is criminally charged, but weeks.

A US Lawyer will just take the situation to a grand jury and they will issue an indictment.

There will be no dragging out of arguing motions and courtroom dates.

1 suspects that as soon as Bannon is on the lookout at sitting in a jail cell, he is heading to sing.

There is no DOJ to operate interference for Trump and his pals anymore.

It is a new environment, and the 1/6 Committee is about to provide back again the rule of legislation.
