Frustration Over Unresolved Investigations
Steve Bannon continued by referencing several key investigations that he believes have been neglected by the DOJ, including the highly publicized case involving former Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth.
“I’m hearing, and I wanna give a warning: If the guys around Hegseth, if there’s indictments or investigations going on, and there’s no indictments, and there’s no release of the Epstein Files, and there’s no investigations of Brennan and the 51, and you’re not spending your time on that, but somehow gets diverted over this, it is going to be a firestorm from the MAGA base,” Bannon warned.
He stressed the growing dissatisfaction with the lack of progress on these matters.
Bannon’s Warning to the DOJ and Trump Administration
Steve Bannon expressed his concerns about the DOJ’s focus, noting that the department was neglecting more pressing issues.
He criticized the apparent shift in priorities, stating, “I think people are fed up with it. I think Tom Fitton gives a lot of the frustration that in the first hundred days, we’ve seen nothing out of that crowd — zero.”
Bannon suggested that investigations, such as those involving the Jeffrey Epstein files and former officials like John Brennan, should be prioritized over other matters within the DOJ.
The Need for Action Against the ‘Deep State’
Steve Bannon emphasized the urgency of addressing what he views as a failure to dismantle the “Deep State.”
“People, we are burning daylight! These people are playing smashmouth, they’re playing hardball, and the Deep State is winning right now!”
He expressed frustration that despite Donald Trump’s reorientation of policies, the lack of strong action from the DOJ is allowing the “Deep State” to gain ground.
Bannon made it clear that it is essential for Trump and his supporters to take more action. “Am I wrong to say … with everything President Trump’s doing in the reorientation, he’s one man, he’s got everything on his shoulders, he needs some support, he needs some help, he needs some assistance.”
Call for Greater Support and Urgency
Steve Bannon concluded with a call to action for those involved in the fight against the “Deep State.”
“It’s incumbent upon us to do it. But people gotta get in there and put their shoulders to the wheel,” he said, highlighting the need for unity and effort to support the president’s goals.
Bannon’s remarks were a stark reminder of the challenges facing the Donald Trump administration and the need for decisive action to address long-standing issues within the government.
