‘The Deep State Is Winning!’ Steve Bannon Slams Trump DOJ for ‘Burning Daylight’ and Doing Absolutely ‘Nothing’
Steve Bannon railed against the Trump Department of Justice on Monday, lamenting that “the Deep State is winning right now” during an interview with Jack Posobiec.
After detailing several recent developments, including a National Intelligence Council assessment, leak about Secretary Marco Rubio’s plans for the State Department, and attacks of Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, Bannon expressed his frustration in no uncertain terms.
“We’re not doing anything over at Justice Department. I don’t see investigations, I don’t see indictments, and I’m telling you 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,” warned Bannon. “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. With all the hard work that went in to get him [Trump] there, you know, we’ve seen nothing, and now they’re talking about, Jack, some investigation of the guys around Hegseth. And I’m not saying there shouldn’t be something over there, maybe it is, but that’s a Pete Hegseth call, right? And it shouldn’t be DOJ or anybody like that jumping in there because you haven’t done your primary job which is to take down 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! Jack, am I wrong to say the Deep-, 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. It’s incumbent upon us to do it. But people gotta get in there and put their shoulders to the wheel,” he concluded.
