War Room founder Steve Bannon discussed the dismantling of the administrative state with senior editor of Revolver News Darren Beattie on Tuesday.
Bannon fired back at MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow saying that the current “justice system” will be dismantled.
“We are gonna dismantle that “justice system.” That’s the justice system Stalin had in the 1930s. That’s the justice system that the Nazis put in place. That is not a justice system for a free people. You want an autocratic breakthrough? We are gonna burn down main justice and put these people in prison cause they are criminals,” Bannon said.
Beattie told Bannon that the most important thing to clean up in DC is the Department of Justice.
“Department of Justice is the key item. The Department of Justice is the first most important precondition to cleaning out the swamp entirely,” Beattie said.
“In a broader sense what this is, it’s not simply about retribution. What it is about setting the conditions to restore legitimacy within our institutions,” Beattie continued.
Bannon said that the establishment would try to convince President Trump not to take the action he promised.
“There are gonna be a lot of people in President Trump’s ear saying, hey you won, let’s just have a unity moment,” Bannon said.
“That is exactly what we don’t need to do,” Bannon said.
Beattie said that in order to restore the institutions that there would have to be some accountability.
“In order for them to be established, reestablished as legitimate there has to be at least some degree of accountability for the most egregious offenders otherwise everyone is gonna think of these institutions as not only a joke which they have become, but a corrupt, malicious, pernicious, poisonous joke of the sort that we typically see in the third world,” Beattie continued.
