Ex-federal prosecutor wonders if Bannon will be so scared of jail he’ll sell out Donald Trump Jr. and Jared Kushner

Former Trump campaign CEO and top White House aide Steve Bannon joined the list of former associates of President Donald Trump to be indicted.

While this investigation includes wire fraud that has nothing to do with the president’s other scandals involving Ukraine, Russia, possible bank fraud, obstruction of justice and any attempts to obstruct the passage of mail, a federal prosecutor wonders if Bannon will want to make a deal.

Speaking to MSNBC on Thursday, former prosecutor Barbara McQuade explained that the two charges against Bannon carry 20-year penalties each, and while as a first-time offender Bannon isn’t likely to get the maximum penalty, he will serve time if he’s found guilty.

It’s that reason that McQuade wonders if Bannon won’t try to give up information on Donald Trump Jr. or Jared Kushner, who joined Bannon in the meeting with the Russian lawyer at Trump Tower.

1. I'd give him a week, tops.

[Thomas Hurt]

2. Wouldn't bet on it, probably round two of sentence commutations for shiftless lackeys.

3. Magic Eight Ball says yes.

4. Bannon was in that meeting? I guess I forgot

This could be juicy

5. Barbara McQuade 👍

I believe everything she has to say about this.

6. I am wondering if he thinks he might be "suicided."

Bannon may well be suffering alcohol withdrawal soon as well.

13. From 35 year old scotch to toilet wine

7. Is that the smell of pardon in the air?

[Sanity Claws]

8. Isn't Bannon really sick?

I think I heard he is terminally ill (look at him - not hard to believe) and he has a daughter that is trying to leave some money to.
He may prefer to off himself.

9. Doubt it

He’ll end up paying it back and a fine plus legal fees. That’s how it works for people like that.

10. Don't forget Erik Prince. On We Build the Wall advisory board, and similarly referred for lying

to Congress as Bannon, Trump Jr and Kushner. And the brother of Trump's Education Secretary. And a piece-of-shit mercenary billionaire.

11. Torn between who I want arrested more.... Kobach or Prince.

[lame54]

12. He hates Kushner

14. Bannon was not there in the Trump tower meeting with Veselnitskaya.

Manafort was the campaign manager then.
