With Steve Bannon being arrested for stealing funds, it makes me wonder if Trump will bail one more buddy out before he leaves office.

What an upside down administration this mess has been since day one ! Dictators in other countries must be very envious of what they are seeing happen in America right now.

Hard to say... they had a falling out a couple years back.


I'm pretty sure that Trump only pardons his "friends" who have dirt on him.

He won't do it unless he loses the election, and only then, afterwards as a final act of spite.

To release Bannon before the election would be a gift to Biden and probably cost Trump votes that, by now even he knows, he can't afford to lose.

He already did that...

Donald Trump stated on April 11, 2017 in media comments: Before the presidential campaign, "I didn't know Steve (Bannon)."


PS
They met in 2011, if no before.

Only if Trump is re-elected is this a possibility in the second term. Otherwise, there isn’t enough time for this to play out in court for a situation for him that can be pardoned. We are too close to the end of his first term.

Interesting that this came out of the Southern District of NY too.

That’s the office where the head prosecutor got fired by twitter and was like. I’m not fired... no one told me I’m fired, I’m doing my job

Then trump had to f***ing own that he was the one doing the firing, because he was the only one with the power to and trying to have Barr do it made him look like an even bigger f***ing idiot.
Right?

It was definitely New York, I’m not sure about the district though.

Yes, it’s the same district.

Also, the Southern District had, at least up until that point, had a long reputation as being impartial and uninfluenced by politics, sort of the “Untouchables” of the DOJ. I think Mueller’s investigation in fact delegated some of their criminal findings to them, if I remember right, during his investigation. There was talk at the time that eventually this district would lead the charge in filing charges against Trump once out of office.

The fiasco with the head that you mentioned changed the perception of course, so it’s hard to tell if things have changed there for the time being. Even this arrest of Bannon cannot be fully indicative either way, the way he and Trump had a falling out a couple of years ago.

But they didn’t clean house, personnel wise, so I’m sure there are still career law enforcement officials still keeping things under the radar until Trump loses. If federal charges will eventually be filed against him as a private citizen it will likely come from there.

Are we talking about the very same Steve Bannon who called for the deconstruction of the administrative state, this on behalf of the billionaire oligarchs? Thus what democratic power there is then slowly eroded by the power of money?

Yes, it is happening, pardoned or not. In both the USA and the UK. A pardon seems rather irrelevant, given or not.
