    Steve Bannon was already found guilty and sentenced, but remains free while appealing. What’s the point of having a justice system if these people can put off consequences for years and years until eventually securing a pardon?

      it ain’t the system, it’s the people in it not using it. Like I said congress explicitly has the authority to immediately enforce contempt of congress charges with imprisonment. Also the DoJ, or Merrick Garland at least, has to be compromised in some way. My bet is he’s in on the Epstein trafficking ring but that’s still a guess.
