Yes, it’s laughable that two sleazebags without a shred of legal authority – ex-con and current criminal defendant Steve Bannon and pardoned Russia-pal Mike Flynn – should be threatening anybody or anything with criminal prosecution.
But this is what we are facing in a second Trump term. Trump’s assault on the First Amendment began before the election with attempts to blackmail several media outlets into only favorable coverage.
Obviously, these two creeps are all in on the fascism.
On Bannon’s online show, he said he is “100% serious” that MSNBC should face criminal investigation. Guest Flynn added “I am, too.”
“You are part of a vast criminal conspiracy against President Trump,” Bannon said, “and that is going to be drilled down.”
Then, as if playing a James Bond villain, Bannon continued threatening MSNBC personnel under cover of helpful advice.
