The Manhattan District Attorney’s Office is considering whether to prosecute Steve Bannon for state crimes. The former senior White House advisor last month received a pardon in a federal criminal case from then-President Donald Trump. The inquiry by District Attorney Cyrus Vance’s office underscores the double-edged sword of presidential pardons, which only apply to federal crimes, not to state cases.

18 USC 241 and 242.
The very fact that there’s this hound dogging of DAs and political persecution should be shooting up red flags among ALL Americans.
This is full-n banana republic level of corruption.
It only took, what, 600 years to get the concept of equality before the law to be fully integrated into a constitutional legal framework? (Just using the period between Magna Carta and the US constitution as general historical markers.)
And we’re going to just watch the Democrat/MSM/GOPe machine walk away from that hard-won civilizational achievement as if it never existed?
Not that I have the first clue as to how one might object in any effective way to this.
Cyrus didn’t fall far from the apple tree .
A corrupt apple tree at that.

Isn’t it unethical for a prosecutor to announce they are considering going after someone, on the grounds that it taints the target without offering a fair opportunity to respond?
Just asking.
Not necessarily - it’s been used for actual criminal mob intent (eg Al Capone).
This was also used against Bill Cosby when they decided to re-press charges on “new found evidence”.
Does it smell to high heaven? Yeah. But is it actually unethical? If Bannon actually did something wrong? Ehhhhh...
NYC seems to try people not for actual crimes, but for purely political purposes. It’s like they have no actual criminals to pursue, only political hit jobs. They are such deep in the bone commies, they make me physically ill. My contempt for them is deeper than NY Harbor. I don’t see how decent people can continue to live in that odiferous morass of sewage.
If there's any action that justifies political violence against the state, it's politically motivated prosecutions, because those are the state committing violence against its citizens.
If I had Bannon's money, I'd already be working on forming my own hit squads of Eastern European or Russian mercs.
So do you think the Judges will rule “Lack of Standing” or “Latches”. Don’t bet on it. Conservatives should consider severing all ties with New York. State and City DAs are on the hunt.

“I hope Vance & Co. lose whatever cases are related to Bannon and Trump.”
They’ll lose every case related to both Bannon and Trump.
Vance doesn’t have anything, but he needs to pretend he does, so the Trump haters keep chasing conspiracy theories.
I read the leftwing media diligently. Vance supposedly has “69 sealed indictments” related to the Mueller farce.
Doesn’t that sound familiar?
It almost sounds like ‘Q quackery’ written for the left.
Thanks for the link. I missed this!!
How does a New York DA have jurisdiction? Is Bannon so dense as to live or work in New York?
They have no fear of patriots.
You were probably posting yours when this was posted.
This is probably, why they are going double jeopardy on our guy!
If only the Bush DOJ had pursued the case against fugitives of justice, Marc Rich, and his partner Pincus Green, after Bill Clinton pardoned them.
Happens all the time just in reverse. When States fail to convict the feds file under some pretext, supremes have ruled that is not double jeopardy, even though it clearly is. Rodney King cops being a prime example. It was something they cooked unto over come Jim Crow courts that wouldn't convict a white man, just fine of course if it is the other way around.
There’s a lawyers trick I heard about: “change of venue.”
Could this be used to get the persecuted out where they might get a reasonable jury? Would it work in state courts/
Cyrus Vance, Jr. has had more than his share of 15 minutes of fame. He's the dope who refused to prosecute Weinstein in 2015, after Ambra Gutierrez turned over an audio recording of the fat slob admitting that he touched her inappropriately. Vance said there wasn't enough evidence to pursue the case. One of Weinstein's lawyers, David Boies, who was a part of Gore's legal team in 2000, donated $10,000 to Vance's campaign after he said he wouldn't prosecute. And as we all know, Democrats don't have to follow the rules, or answer questions about their behavior. When evil has control, evil always wins.
Vance tried this against Paul Manafort, and his case was dismissed by Judge Maxwell Wiley. Wiley said it was double jeopardy. Vance claimed he was going to appeal the decision, but this was in December 2019, and there's been nothing more about it in the news:
New York fraud charges against Paul Manafort, ex-Trump campaign chairman, dismissed by judge
It appears that Vance has no problem with pursuing charges that are clearly "double jeopardy." It just depends on what Judge he gets that determines whether the case is dismissed, or moves ahead.
