SEAN HANNITY (HOST): Well, I want to talk a little bit about Steve Bannon and what happened with him today. And put aside whether -- your feelings about Steve Bannon. Some people don't like Steve Bannon. He's controversial. He's combative. He's iconoclastic. I happen to like people like that. That's just my own personal taste.
So, anyway, he's -- he gets sentenced today, four months in prison for contempt of Congress and he was following his lawyer's advice on this. Now, here's what he gets. He gets -- so he gets four months of prison time and a fine. How come Eric Holder who was held in contempt of Congress, how come he was never charged? How come Lois Lerner was never charged? How come Janet Reno was never charged? I mean, Eric Holder, he was held in contempt. Lois Lerner held in contempt. Defied a subpoena, refused to testify. Eric Holder refused to -- failed to turn over documents. Janet Reno defied a subpoena. Steve Bannon is now the first person to be charged for being in contempt of Congress since nineteen eighty three, and the last time that happened, it was a Reagan EPA official by the name of Rita Lavelle who was acquitted at trial and not sentenced.
Now the -- the Biden DOJ's sentences to jail time, they're giving more time than the FBI lawyer caught fabricating FISA court evidence. You just can't make any of this up. You know, this is what I mean. This is why it's important these whistleblowers talk to Grassley, Johnson, and Jim Jordan. This is why we've gotta stop the politicizing the FBI, how it's been politicized and the weaponizing of our DOJ.
