NEWS Trump pardons former White House strategist Steve Bannon By Bruce GoldingJanuary 20, 2021 | 12:24am | President Trump on Tuesday night pardoned former top campaign aide and White House strategist Steve Bannon, who was arrested for an alleged scam involving private donations to build a border wall with Mexico. Reuters cited senior administration officials saying that Trump had pardoned Bannon. An official statement from the White House was expected early Wednesday morning. Bannon, the nationalist firebrand who was formerly the executive chairman of Breitbart News, had been facing a May trial on fraud and money laundering charges in Manhattan federal court.

Bannon was accused of scamming $1 million from donors to the “We Build the Wall” GoFundMe campaign launched by US Air Force veteran Brian Kolfage, who lost three limbs during a 2004 bomb blast in Iraq. He was busted in August aboard the “Lady May,” a $28 million yacht owned by Chinese billionaire Guo Wengui. Bannon’s pardon was among a wave of last-minute clemencies the White House was expected to announce ahead of President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration on Wednesday and followed nearly 90 pardons and commutations previously granted by Trump since 2017. In August 2016, Trump named Bannon chief executive of his first White House bid...

Dear Mr. President: Go for broke. Pardon Snowden and Assange. This can help DESTROY the swamp, since you failed to do so as President. Screw the chinese turtle. But you likely won’t. Because you still have no clue and are still taking advice from losers.

Excellent

This man will be crucial in coming months now

I suggest anyone check his podcasts daily till he can get platformed better soon

Steve gets it

Breitbart which zotted me for challenging Marlowe and Pollack as sellouts since they failed to support Trump 11-4

When Bannon ran Breitbart it rocked

Now it’s Fox News part two

Free republic has done great as an aggregator and I thank Fresno wholeheartedly

Bongino

Liberty Daily

Talk and other alt right sites too

White doe

Sam Francis old home

Real america voice

Three not much out there and all are afraid

OAN is better than newsmax editorial wise but newsmax has Kelly

Maybe Travis and pelham know better

Sundance treehouse

But Bannon is the tip of what’s left of the spear

Am I wrong Matt?

Good. The attack on Bannon was 100% a revenge strike for Bannon’s role in whuppin’ Cankles.
