Bannon is Trump's top MAGA voice and it's not even close.
And they imprison him for the final four months of Trump's campaign.
The judge timed it out precisely so Bannon will be in jail on election day.
There is no question that Bannon is a top political asset for Trump, especially with his War Room Podcast.
Earlier this week I was questioning Bannon’s strategy; he has been appealing his conviction which has little to NO chance of success in the Washington Federal Courts.
His sentence is 4-months, same as Peter Navarro. Navarro for some reason probably financial decided not to appeal, he went into prison in March, he’s already more than halfway thru his sentence and will be out in time to work for Trump.
Bannon OTOH will report to prison on July 1, which means he will in prison in the 4 months leading up to the election and not able to offer any help to Trump.
My point, if you know your chances of appeal are practically zero, why not take your sentence earlier this year and then get out with plenty of time to help Trump get elected.
Bannon’s only chance of getting a pardon depends on Trump getting elected and those chances would be better if Bannon was not going to be in prison.
I know going to prison is a terrible option, but what’s more important, getting Trump elected or Bannon’s prison sentence.
The timing isn’t coincidental
