President Trump has pardoned his former chief strategist, Steve Bannon, who was charged in connection with a scheme toin the president’s final hours in office. The president has changed his mind several times in recent days, and on Tuesday was still calling advisers to ask them how he should proceed on a pardon for Mr. Bannon. At various points on Tuesday, advisers believed Mr. Bannon wouldn’t get one.
Mr. Bannon was charged in August in connection with an alleged scheme to siphon hundreds of thousands of dollars from a crowdfunding campaign to build a wall along the southern U.S. border—one of the president’s signature campaign promises. Mr. Bannon pleaded not guilty and was released after agreeing to a $5 million bond as he awaits trial.A former investment banker and media executive, Mr. Bannon parlayed his understanding of conservative media into top positions in Mr.
Ok but why is that a picture of Rosie O’Donnell ?
Trump pardoned his former strategic adviser Steve Bannon. The key is that while Steve Bannon is currently on bail without pleading guilty, the court has not convicted Steve Bannon. Does Trump already know history? Did Steve Bannon commit a felony?
So finally Trump confirmed Bannon is a criminal.
An architect of fascism.
Lil Wayne and Steve Bannon.... hahaha. I just can’t even. It’s the final act in a four year presidency that left the world collectively wondering WTF. At least he is consistent to the end
Captain Obvious should be making these announcements, followed by predicting the future...as in which of his friends are left to pardon. What a joke. Can’t believe someone from WSJ thought this was worth reporting 🤦🏻♂️
Crude Bannon needs a haircut!
❤
Of course he did
COVID19 just got pardoned. It just disappeared just like Trump said it would.
SOB!
Mr Steve Bannon is a great patriot! He loves this country and did so much for Americans! He is hero!
QUIDPROQUO CORRUPTION ABUSEOFPOWER
Whoops and welts. I am so glad that I can do something for the community and the Lord..enter it into the ground and put the soil back and it should be fine. That was weird. What do you want man from me, huh?
He has no shame! He has disrespected the institution of the presidency.
Florida man sells pardons at bargain basement prices.
Who cares!
My God,Trump is pardoning the scum of the earth while there are so many people of color in jail for crimes committed but sentencing was excessive just because of their social status.He could have done a good thing before leaving but he is pardoning those that can pay an attorney.
Wait, I feel bamboozled!! Wasn't Trump suppose to 'Drain the Swamp?' What happen? Pardons Bannon who hasn't been convicted? Tell, tell sign he may secretly pardon himself. Instead of draining the swamp, he dived in and lost his soul, if he ever had one. 400kDeadCovid19
A felon pardoning a fellow felon will always be a felon.
This should help with his conviction.
The Mafia's dream dream, to have immunity before trial.
On Jan. 18 SBD had listed Bannon as a -300 favorite to receive a Pardon. Here's the rest of the list of potential Pardon candidates and odds.
Who supports a president who pardons a guy who stole from you, his supporters? And then you realize they love Trump even though he himself stole from them. Cults.
Omg
Oh please please please please let this play out the way we are hoping!😂
Daddycasey21 Subpoena him tomorrow. If he lies under oath, convict him again. He knows all of trump's secrets.
👍
So this guy can no longer plead the fifth as a witness for the prosecution of DT and/or SCOTUS can rule the pardon invalid for violating the Constitution’s restriction against pardoning someone related to an impeachment. Should be interesting watching how this plays out.
😂
Take him down with state charges! No problem!
Is Syphilis next?
And they say trump doesn't care about the homeless...
crime pays off
So president can pardon their cronies for doing their dirty work. Good to know.
Trumps just draining the swamp. He just has a weird way of showing it.
Does this means that Trump got his share from the $25 millions that was intended for the border wall 🤔
Why not? Hard to untangle vipers in a pit. Corrupt
At federal level, there's more than one way to catch a rat.
Uglification and fate together! both the higher and lower levels are united as one！
4 letters Steve..... SDNY
Good luck with being banned from running for office, Trump
I love this photo of Bannon the slob. Such a vile man.
At least it is an admission of guilt, I guess. 🤷🏼♂️
American patriot and hero!
