Steve Bannon calls for 'massive criminal investigations' of judges in Jan. 6 cases

MAGA activist Steve Bannon called for "massive criminal investigations" of federal judges who participated in cases related to the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol.

During a Wednesday interview with self-styled MAGA reporter Julie Kelly, Bannon noted that mainstream media were "melting down" after President Donald Trump issued 1,500 pardons for Jan. 6 rioters.

"My sources are telling me, Steve, that the judges in Washington are responsible for slow-walking the release of the defendants in the D.C. courthouse," Kelly reported. "These are judges who have expressed open contempt for Donald Trump in their courtrooms in their court filings. They consider January 6 an act of domestic terrorism."

"J6, obviously, President Trump is very dear to his heart is — also central to the to our mission because it gets back to the fedsurrection," Bannon opined. "It gets back to the stolen 2020 election, and we're not gonna let go."

"It's deeper even than the J6 guys. The J6 guys are symbolic of a corruption in our system that goes all the way back to taking out Richard Nixon," he continued. "It's worse under Trump because it was an entire system. This has to be a massive criminal investigation. Let me say it right here on the 22nd of January in the year of our Lord 2025, and let's name names. I want the top five judges the judges are going to be under a criminal investigation."

"You're not impervious. You can be impeached, and one way you can be impeached is be subject to a criminal investigation... We are going to impeach these judges. They cannot be allowed to sit on the bench."
