President Donald Trump has decided to pardon his former chief strategist Steve Bannon, in a last-minute decision made only hours before he is scheduled to depart the White House for a final time.
Officials cautioned CNN that Trump's decision was not final until he signed the paperwork. Trump told people that after much deliberation, he had decided to pardon Bannon as one of his final acts in office. Bannon faces a federal case that began in August when New York federal prosecutors charged him and three others with defrauding donors of more than a million dollars as part of a fundraising campaign purportedly aimed at supporting Trump's border wall.
GOOD,I bet you all will be crying over that for years!
Steve is brilliant and a great American!
Trump and Bannon are losers!
Bannon can be charged in the State where the offence was committed or where the charities head quarters . He might look smug now because he's an ignoramus
Complete and utter corruption on a massive scale all four years of it.
President Bill Clinton’s pardon of billionaire fugitive Marc Rich, who was charged with tax fraud and whose ex-wife donated to Hillary Clinton’s New York senate campaign
Bastard Bannon
Your prison is your own.
Robbed by Bannon, robbed by NRA & robbed by Trump’s LYING Election Defense Fund. UNBELIEVABLE how many times ppl have been robbed of their 💰 from the con-artists.🤦♀️😂
Trumps idea of a pardon. Pay me the $$$$, and I will. No $$$$, no pardon.
Paid pardons for the rich and Elite.. yet his poor supporters go ransacked the capital for him.. no pardons..now let that sink in
I have read this move makes Trump's conviction in the Senate impeachment trial all the more likely?
It means he’s guilty
Let Don pardon you, but American people will not; they will come after all of you and all of you mob will have to pay price for it.
Scum pardoning scum. America great again people. Yahoo so proud
FrackHazReveal God’s got this. Although I would like him to face judge and jury, Banning will self destruct all on his own.
The cesspool
Aside from the undeserving pardon, what has happened to Steve Bannon? He is so dirty-looking now, his hygiene is non existance, & his long hair is simply appalling! Looks 80 yrs old.
Festus cowboy
Fat old rich boys taking care of each other...cheating, lying birds of a feather.
He was like this is my Aaron Sorkin Martin Sheen moment. he got ‘Toby’ed’.
How many millions of dollars did Trump make last night?
President Donald Trump has commuted the prison sentence of former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick in one of his final acts, 16 years before Kilpatrick was to be released from prison. This man destroyed Detroit his corruption was deep-disgraceful decision by Trump
I guess he had a few millions lying around to pay for it!
This guy is a total wreck. A disaster walking.
Of course he's in on this q psyop, the 'trust the plan' psyop is eerily similar to the Bolshevik's 'operation trust' in the 20s
No I got it. He is a 90 year old David Lee Roth Mad Ball.
It only takes a criminal to set free other criminals. BTW if those corrupt reps voted for the truth last year nothing of the lies and corruption would have been said and done. Please put The orange ape behind barrs along with his enablers.
When folks who are held accountable to uphold the 'law and order' can flout the law and get pardoned just like that.
U mean his chief criminal
Well, that's what you get. If you 'elect' a person with no integrity, he'll obviously pardon people with no integrity.
Despicable and disgusting abuse of power, that is not what the ability to pardon is for!
SDNY go get him!
What a country .. when a criminal can pardon other criminals .. it’s almost the same as the lunatics being in charge of the asylum.. Makes a mockery of the law
He can still swallow rocks
Only covers federal so charge him at State Level transfer Federal cases to State Attorneys
Heard that bstard Bannon paid someone for his pardon. Interesting that so many are from Trump's inner circle from one time or another. He probably made a fortune from this little exercise.
It's great..Trump pardons a man who defrauded Trump supporters about building a wall that Trump said that Mexico would pay for in the first place which was a reason they voted for Trump. All you can do is laugh at these supporters and marvel at the ignorance.
A payment for not telling where the bodies are buried. I'd go for state level charges.
INAUGURATION.1ST DAY OF THE REST OF BIDEN'S PRESIDENCY Biden set the record for youngest Senator. Now he's come full circle & will be sworn in as the oldest Potus Kamela will continue her record of 1sts. 1st woman AG of Cali. Now 1st woman VP & will probably be 1st woman Potus.
Did anyone recommend this or is the an action flying by the seat of his pants.
Vomitus.
Well that was smart pardon the most racist man in the world and to prove your not racist your self for pardoning him, pardon lil Wayne, see trumps not racist see.
the thing about pardons is the belief in that presidents soul the person 1: punished unjustly, the punishment doesnt fit the crime 2: the convicted was actually innocent or 3: the convicted is sufficiently rehabilitated all 3 have a final caveat; they will never offend again
Ban on will screw up again and there will be no pardon, next time.
So, how much money did 45 make on bids for pardons? Does he have to claim his earnings in his taxes? Just curious. bounty AmericasGreatestMistake embarrassment LoserOfTheCentury narcissism UnAmerican TrumpIsANationalDisgrace
disgusting! how the hell is that legal!
Unbelievable... simply unbelievable. I have to admit I’m shocked that he and his clan weren’t among them. FBI, get ready to meet them at the door!
I hope that ugly spot on his temple gives him what he really deserves ...
🤮
Why are Trumps pardons a bad thing?
Vile.
MF!!!!!
The evil just oozes out of this swamp creature
“Graft for pardons” is another thing Trump will be known for in the history books.
😳 TomH ic ks ? ... well MuellerMue ller maddow sunny RepAdamSchiff 😷
Seems like yet another Rule that the U.S. Courts need to look into... Presidents seem literally abuse their position, in their last few Days In-Office, exploiting this Out-Dated Rule, to do Friends and Financial Backers a favour. This Rule/Convention, must go.
Scumbag till the very end.
Pardons are simply proof of criminality for despots like this world political terrorist.
Now the State of NY indicts him.
Scumbags pardoning scumbags. What a twisted country we live in.
Time to rise the FCK and UNITE around WHITE DOMESTIC TERRORISM, MAGATerrorists, TrumpCrimeSyndicate, WhitePardons, MassIncarceration. When you‘re thru UNITING w/ criminality + centuries of injustices, then I command healing. Ignore 400,000 COVID19 deaths too InaugurationDay
He looks like kingfisherworld founder TheVijayMallya
He looks like he has one foot in the grave
So, nobody anyone gives a rat's about got pardoned
So is the point of the President pardons basically to allow one last hurrah for the POTUS to help out his buddies? Pardon them for whatever they've done and dress it up by pardoning a bunch of other people that might give the POTUS some PR? Seems a strange thing to allow.
hushnowlilbaby “Pardon me, your 5th is showing “ 🤣🤣🤣Trump just marked the guilty with an “X” on his way out. 🤣🤣.
Ted Boutrous BoutrousTed ·3h Trump pardoning a guy indicted by the Trump Justice Department for defrauding Trump supporters over the fake Trump wall is a fitting ending to the Trump presidency.
I don’t think what Banian did was a crime. I think it was an opportunity. I mean it was right there... any man that rips off racists is okay in my book 🤷♀️
I'm certain that the Reps will ask Joe B to pardon DJT, because that's what Jesus would have done.
Two of the America’s most wanted
Trump needs his money and support because there isn't hardly anyone left.
CNN is vile trash, you find the most unflattering photo of Steve Bannon and use it. God will turn you over to a ...mind.
Better get that mole checked, buddy. It’s looking pretty bad.
The new administration need o watch all these pardons of trump. Anytime they will strike again on their wrong doings and people will suffer. What a heck! He need to pardon those are wrongfully accused not these people causing trouble 🙏
Anyone surprised ? Wonder how much money he paid for his Pardon ? It'll be interesting to find out who paid the most, and how much that was, to be pardoned.
BREAKING People votes Bannon “ Unsexiest, Smelliest Man Alive”
This is BS 🤣 🤣 🤣 so ppl commit crimes and then a clown pardon them before he got kicked out of office!!! Hilarious law ⚖ 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
ClemencyClownShow
Guys like Bannon are not going to stop. So what about what Bannon does next week or next month. Hope Biden's justice department is ready. Democrats are going to get one chance to fix this mess. This is it.
Previous presidents pardons were controversial too so dont even act like this is over the top !
Pig
CNN, please stop giving tRump air time - he doesn’t deserve it. This is Biden’s Inauguration Day, please don’t put a damper on it 🙏🙏🙏
Crime pays ....
Sir President Trump also pardon those who have not voted you .
Uganda is bleeding
Bannon stole money from Trump cult that they were dumb enough to think was going to be used to build the Trump magical wall that Mexico didn’t pay for as Trump promised—so the crime is stealing from the ‘blind and stupid’...
Of course he has 🤡
WHAT A DISGRACE! TO AMERICANS 🤨 HOW CAN 77 MILLION AMERICANS BELIEVE IN THIS ABSOLUTE TYRANT 😐
This is ridiculous.
In his final act, he pardened a fellow mad man.
Omg
Inauguration national|• Politics
knock me down with a feather
I don’t think anyone is surprised. They are all a mess and tried to mess up our country. I sure hope that never happens again
He looks homeless and desperate..🤣🤣🤣
I’m shocked... said no one.
VERY BAD IDEA
Fuck this dude looks like he’s been deep throating the Jameson Bottle.
Keep in mind that guilt is a *requirement* for a pardon.
I bet there’s a very wordy NDA involved in that deal. GoodRiddanceTrump

Can you pardon someone that hasn't actually been convicted yet?
And the shit stain gets bigger by the hour 🙄
So sad!!
Accordingly, he has supported many national populist conservative political movements around the world, including creating a network of far-right groups in Europe.
👎😡
Dear CNN. We broke up w him. Stop acting like a psycho ex who is obsessed w what their ex is up to.
Saving his own ass in the process. Remember state charges don't count.
Dude looks absolutely dreadful. What a piece of crust off the old asshole.
What a way to drain the swamp on his way out 😂😂😂😂.
🤮 He might want to get that enormous weird looking dark mole looked at on the side of his head.
Good. Finish your pardons and fuck off.
Trump needs allies so I suppose he's hoping Bannon will be one.
He’s dirty looking and is in need of a bath not a pardon.
It is just so fitting, isn't it? The scumbag pardons another scumbag.
For which crime?
He’s a pig!
Corrupt till the end
Thank God for the states. They can go after this guy. He looks like he will get caught and charged as a peeping tom in his future life.
Of course! Same breed
PardonSnowden and PardonJulianAssange
Disgusting
He looks like the guy who almost bought Schitts Creek.
🤮
Is this the same “Sloppy Steve Bannon” who, “cried when he got fired and begged for his job” Steve Bannon? Or a different Steve Bannon that was “dumped like a dog”? Asking for nobody in particular...

I wonder how the MAGATs Bannon stole from feel about this.

Pathetic. This administration surrounded itself with thieves, felons, and corruption. His actions have cheapened the office.
BREAKING 💥💥
Steve Bannon looks like something the Pet Cemetery cat coughed up.
So Trump supporters... if true, he just said screw you.. does t care if you were scammed. Could care less.. the person who scammed you means more
get back on that bendor you were on
Sure. The man who called for Anthony Fauci to be beheaded.
Bannon can still be convicted.
That must have cost Trump a few bitcoins.
DavidJollyFL I did nazi this coming
Hopefully there are state charges
I thought Bannon was broke?
🤮
State charges to follow his dirty thief ass!
DavidJollyFL Can’t think of a more undeserving person he could have pardoned. 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
I for one thought he played an excellent Baron Vladimir harkonnen in the 1984 film Dune. A remake is on the way. I liked the original. Please take a look and tell me I’m wrong.
Of course.
Both are fascists.
DavidJollyFL Bannon is so unhealthy I doubt he makes it another year.
DavidJollyFL Pardon him for what exactly?
Well what a surprise..
Amazing, he stole money from Trumps fan club and Trump pardons him from doing it. Luv it! perfect ending for all Trump supporters. 🤣🤣🤣.
DavidJollyFL Trump may have pardoned him but by the looks of him he'll take himself down.
You mean the white supremacist who he was consulting on overturning the results of a free and fair election? Say it ain’t so.
Ewww.
witch hunters to suck big dick
Obamagate declass
Gross
Unfortunately for Bannon, the crime he committed was not only Federal but also State. If Federal prosecutors can't take the case because of the pardon I'm sure Southern District of NY would love to carry the ball. Hope Bannon like Riker's.
Be honest now. Wouldn't you have been disappointed if Fearless Leader had not pardoned Steve 'American Carnage' Bannon?
EEEEEWWWW are you serious 😆😆😆
Gross
EX PRESIDENT SOON!
T should be careful with all this. T might be inside while all his buddies are on the outside...
Disgusting monster.
What is Bannon’s connection with Russia? All roads lead to Russia.
Trump outsmarted by Bannon, again. though it'd be really funny if...
What people? Not you for sure.
A truly original character very entertaining on the war room Im sure that was the most flattering picture available...
Wait...katilin is reporting he is going to pardon him...
Fucking disgusting.
Next administration won't.
Might as well pardon Hitler while he’s at it. 🤦♂️
I want to know how much he charged each of 100 pardons
Piece of trash. Times Square hotdog wrapper blowing in the wind. The dog shit you put in the brown paper bag you light on fire and ring the doorbell and run.
Pardons don't count in hell.
A final weasel move.
🙄
He’s knocking off all of the witnesses foe upcoming trials
You’re joking
Good! CNN SUCKS!
That is ok the State is waiting for you.
