14. The DOJ handed Bannon a free pass. For that instance.

They dropped the charges. That usually brings the case to a standstill.

It basically returns the case to a finding of contempt of Congress that the DOJ says it won't prosecute. That happens. It happened under Trump I. It happened under Obama with Holder--that case was settled within Congress when (D) gained a majority and decided to withdraw the finding of contempt. But the Obama DOJ wasn't to file charges on behalf of a (R) Congress against his own appointee. That would be stupid.
