Julie Kelly: Graves Is Going To Try To Shove This In The Face Of Donald Trump And His Supporters
Steve Bannon and journalist Julie Kelly discussed the continued legal actions against January 6 (J6) defendants, expressing concerns about the motivations and methods behind these prosecutions. Kelly highlighted recent arrests, including individuals from Florida and Alabama, and noted the ongoing trials and harsh sentences handed to participants. She mentioned a recent case where a man received a 71-month prison sentence for allegedly interfering with law enforcement, calling the charges excessive and politically driven.
The conversation heavily criticized Matthew Graves, the U.S. Attorney for Washington, D.C., for aggressively pursuing J6 cases. Kelly pointed to Graves’ connections to the Biden administration, noting that his wife reportedly visited the White House multiple times. This, she argued, suggested that the prosecutions are part of a politically motivated effort to target Trump supporters and disrupt the MAGA movement.
Kelly also noted that Department of Justice (DOJ) officials, following Trump’s election, instructed prosecutors to proceed with J6 cases without considering the election results. She described this as a calculated move to challenge Trump and his incoming administration, characterizing it as a provocation aimed at MAGA supporters.
The pair criticized the FBI’s handling of the investigations, accusing the agency of misusing counter-terrorism resources originally intended for foreign threats. Kelly expressed outrage at the heavy-handed tactics, including neighborhood raids, to arrest non-violent participants who briefly walked on Capitol grounds. She questioned the high costs and moral implications of these operations, labeling them an overreach of government power.
Bannon emphasized the promise of mass pardons for J6 defendants as a key commitment of a future Trump administration. He argued that the ongoing prosecutions are not just legal actions but deliberate provocations against MAGA supporters. Kelly added that the DOJ’s approach reflects a broader effort to intimidate and silence political opponents, underscoring the need for an accountability project to reform the FBI and DOJ. They referenced figures like Kash Patel as potential leaders in this effort, noting his ability to strike fear in political adversaries.
In closing, Kelly shared details about her investigative work on FBI and DOJ misconduct, directing audiences to her Substack and RealClearInvestigations for further insights. Both Bannon and Kelly expressed optimism about the possibility of holding government officials accountable under a future Trump administration, framing the issue as a battle for justice and political fairness.
Rudy Giuliani On The Murder Of Ashli Babbitt: “They’re Covering Up A Murder Case”
Steve Bannon hosted Rudy Giuliani on his program to discuss pressing issues, including the January 6 prosecutions and systemic flaws in the U.S. justice system. Giuliani sharply criticized the handling of Ashli Babbitt’s death, labeling it a "cold-blooded murder.” He recounted presenting evidence to U.S. Attorney Matthew Graves, only to face inaction, which he attributed to corruption and political bias. Giuliani compared the lack of accountability in Babbitt’s case to how murders were handled during his tenure as New York City Mayor, where solving homicide cases symbolized respect for human life.
The conversation also delved into broader concerns about systemic bias within the Department of Justice (DOJ) and judiciary. Both Bannon and Giuliani condemned the two-tiered justice system, with Giuliani asserting that current judges have forsaken impartiality. They argued that prosecutorial overreach in January 6 cases reflects a broader effort to target political opponents, erode trust in democratic institutions, and stifle dissent.
Bannon introduced the topic of mass pardons and accountability under a future Trump administration. He suggested these measures would rectify injustices while ensuring that those responsible for crimes against the Republic are held accountable. Giuliani supported this view, advocating for thorough investigations into alleged misconduct, from January 6 prosecutions to illegal immigration.
The discussion concluded with a broader critique of systemic corruption and a call to restore justice. Both highlighted the importance of addressing these issues decisively to prevent further damage to public trust in government institutions.
Part One:
Giuliani: “People Should Be Held Accountable For The Crimes They Committed Against The Republic”
Part Two:
Dave Bossie: “The American People Voted For FBI Reform And DOJ Reform”
In their discussion, Dave Bossie and Steve Bannon emphasized the importance of supporting key conservative figures, notably Pete Hegseth and Kash Patel, in what they framed as a larger fight against the defense-industrial complex and entrenched political interests. Bossie highlighted the significance of securing Senate confirmations for Trump-aligned candidates, criticizing the current administration’s appointments and calling for unity among Republicans.
Bannon praised Pete Hegseth as a vital leader and urged Republicans to rally behind him to resist attempts by opponents to undermine their agenda. He stressed the broader implications of these battles, likening them to a “war” for the future of the country. Bannon also defended Kash Patel’s credentials, detailing his critical role in uncovering the “Russia collusion hoax” and his experience in national security roles.
Both underscored that Trump’s appointees, unlike their Democratic counterparts, represent competence and alignment with America’s interests. They framed the confirmations as pivotal for advancing Trump’s vision. Bossie also promoted his work, including a film showcasing Trump’s leadership and an upcoming piece in The Daily Caller, underscoring the urgency of the fight to restore conservative governance and counter liberal policies.
