"Bannon needs to be on the list...yeah he may be guilty"

Had you read the actual indictment (I did, twice) you would know that he and Kolfage were indicted for operational **business expenses** and nothing more.

None of them are guilty of anything.

I should also note that after four years of watching these rogue and shameless DoJ political operations - which have targeted even the President of the United States - we should all be completely clear that DoJ is corrupt and infested with political operatives and not patriots.

I'll go further and say that it's infested with spooks and other dark operators.

DoJ is not headed by patriots anymore. Over the last couple decades it's meshed with some very very bad people, namely sociopath spooks. They have no interest whatsoever in a constitutional republic under law, and begin breaking their solemn oaths the moment after reciting them. Pure evil.

He can only pardon for Federal crimes. Bannon was indicted by New York.

Article II, Section 2, Clause 1 of the Constitution grants the President of the United States the power to pardon any person convicted for or accused of federal crimes, except in cases of impeachment.

The president may not pardon persons convicted for or accused of violating state or local laws.

Through the power of “commutation of sentence,” the president may reduce or completely eliminate the prison sentences being served by persons convicted of federal crimes.

While he or she is not required to follow them, recommendations on all applications for presidential pardons must be prepared and submitted to the president by the U.S. Pardon Attorney of the Department of Justice.
