Former White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon launched a blistering critique of the Trump administration’s Justice Department during an interview Monday with conservative commentator Jack Posobiec, warning that inaction against entrenched political enemies could spark a major backlash from the MAGA base.

Bannon, a longtime Trump ally and one of the leading voices of the populist right, expressed frustration over what he sees as the administration’s failure to deliver on promises of accountability, particularly against high-profile figures tied to past controversies.

“We’re not doing anything over at the Justice Department,” Bannon fumed. “I don’t see investigations, I don’t see indictments… The Deep State is winning right now.”

Citing a recent National Intelligence Council assessment, leaks regarding Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and what he called political attacks on Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, Bannon painted a picture of a White House under siege — and a Justice Department asleep at the wheel.

The conservative firebrand specifically warned against investigations reportedly targeting individuals within Hegseth’s orbit. “If the guys around Hegseth are being investigated, and there’s no movement on the Epstein Files, no indictments of [former CIA Director John] Brennan, nothing on the 51 intel officials who interfered with the election — it’s going to be a firestorm,” Bannon said.

In a direct appeal to the Trump faithful, Bannon echoed the growing discontent among hardline supporters who expected a wave of prosecutions in the first hundred days of Trump’s return to power. “With all the hard work that went into getting him there, we’ve seen nothing,” he said.

While acknowledging that some scrutiny of the Pentagon may be warranted, Bannon said that such actions should be directed by Defense Secretary Hegseth — not imposed by the Justice Department, which he accused of failing in its central mission: “taking down the Deep State.”

“People, we are burning daylight!” he declared. “These people are playing smashmouth, they’re playing hardball, and the Deep State is winning right now!”

Bannon closed with a plea for action and support for Trump as he wages what Bannon characterized as a lonely battle to reorient the federal government. “He’s one man, he’s got everything on his shoulders,” Bannon said. “He needs support. He needs help. He needs people who are willing to get in there and put their shoulders to the wheel.”
