US President Donald Trump (L) congratulating Senior Counselor to the President Stephen Bannon during the swearing-in of senior staff in the East Room of the White House....Mr. President, don’t pardon Sheldon Silver 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...

Snowden is a real F***** TRAITOR! NO! NO! NO! AND HELL NO!
If you could only understand how incredibly damaging it was when he gave away our Tailored Access Methods catalog to our adversaries. It contained the ways we implement eavesdropping in both software and hardware. THAT F***** TRAITOR is responsible for giving our adversaries like China, Russia, Iran, all the keys to the kingdom in those areas. Now they not only can thwart/stop our measures but can use them against us.
He called himself a Leninist. Doesn’t sound like a good guy to me.
Yawn ...Trump going out with a wimper ...I guess they offered him a bullet he couldn’t refuse ...
I see Bannon as a patriot who was instrumental in getting Trump elected in 2016, so perhaps we can agree to disagree. Peace.
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

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?
If anyone deserves it, Steven does. Trump is the reason they went after him in the first place, and even so, Bannon remained supportive. He’s worked 24/7 and continues to this day in an effort to champion Trump, THE President. And be absolutely shreds his enemies with NO MERCY. If there was anyone I would want on my side, no one could out-deliver Bannon. I’m just curious why he always wears that frumpy jacket...
Also revoked executive order banning having to wait 5 years to become a lobbyist.
Kind of swampy.
Yeah, some of his cabinet must need jobs after today....5 years too long to wait to get the big lobbyist $$.
I was going to watch War Room Special Report at 5:00 pm yesterday on RAV. Instead, there was an infomercial on...
Wimped out as I expected .
I care. They’ve been 100% loyal to PDJT, so throwing them a gift at the end isn’t terrible.
“I guess they offered him a bullet he couldn’t refuse ...”
Well stated.
We like Stinchfield on Newsmax, too.
Good. The attack on Bannon was 100% a revenge strike for Bannon’s role in whuppin’ Cankles.
Reactions may have been different. We may have have gone afrer cheating more in 2018.
They targeted the best advisors very early and put in treacherous DS.
I would pardon him specifically for leaking the information about the NSA spying on us. Whatever else is there, let it remain. But revealing that NSA is spying on all of us did us a favor.
Totally agree! He is a vain and stupid boy, who didn’t have life going as he dreamed, so he turned traitor.
The left-wing psyops cult of the 17th letter despise Snowden, so he must be ok. Pardon him!
WE were loyal, too, and he BLEW IT.
The enemy of my enemy is sometimes MY ENEMY too.
