Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., wants the Justice Department to aggressively investigate any potential criminal activity that Donald Trump was engaged in regarding the January 6 attack on the Capitol and efforts to undermine the election. "I understand the reluctance on the part of the Attorney General perhaps to look backward, but you can't have a situation where a president cannot be prosecuted," Schiff said during a conversation with Salon’s Dean Obeidallah. He also expects Attorney General Merrick Garland to indict Steve Bannon for contempt of court, saying "should he not go prosecuted, it will essentially send a message that the rule of law doesn’t apply to certain people close to the former president."
