Bannon claims Congress urged DOJ to indict 35 bank executives but none were prosecuted

Bannon claims Congress urged DOJ to indict 35 bank executives but none were prosecuted The passage contains a specific allegation that a congressional committee recommended criminal indictments against 35 bank executives and that the Justice Department took no action. This provides a concrete lead (names, number of executives, agency involvement) that could be investigated for potential prosecutorial misconduct or political interference. While the claim is unverified and lacks details on the executives or the committee, it ties high‑level financial actors to possible legal avoidance, which is moderately controversial and relevant to oversight of the financial crisis aftermath. Key insights: A congressional committee reportedly asked the DOJ to indict 35 bank executives.; According to Bannon, none of those indictments were pursued.; The context links the lack of accountability to populist backlash (Tea Party, Identitarian movements).
