"Three of the key advisers who helped engineer Donald Trump's' rise to the presidency in 2016, and who fell from grace under the weight of federal criminal charges, resurfaced during Trump's final days in office to help engineer his ill-fated attempt to cling to power.

Roger Stone, Steve Bannon, and retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn all participated in efforts to promote the Jan. 6 "Stop the Steal" event that ultimately devolved into a riotous and deadly melee at the United States Capitol, leaving five dead and causing Trump to become the only president to be impeached for a second time."

1. Pardons don't apply to future crimes.

Someone should have reminded Stone and Flynn of this fact.

They might see prison time after all. Let us hope.

[lagomorph777]

10. Exactly. These fuckers are headed to Gitmo.

[scarletlib]

14. Bingo!

Put their asses in prison for life. Hell, Gitmo, is too good for these monsters.

28. Isn't Bannon on bail for money laundering right now?

[Botany]

2. Lock 'em up

Lock Stephen Miller and Gorka too

3. Yesterday, there was a story posted here on DU stating that in recent weeks Bannon

and Trump had "reconciled" and were back in touch.

So this is interesting.

I wonder what the tree diagram looks like. Which of these people could possibly have been in touch with:

Ali Alexander, Andy Biggs, Paul Gosar, Mo Brooks?

Were Stone, Bannon and Flynn behind the Bitcoin payments to far right organizations?

Is something coming together?

[triron]

5. Interesting questions indeed.

[Hugin]

6. I think Bannon and Trump have been talking all along.

Bannon's departure was Kelly's doing.

[Mike 03]

12. It's interesting you say that.

I've sometimes wondered if rumors of their split were overstated. Trump never went after Bannon the way he usually goes after people he really dislikes. Steve Bannon continued to run along a parallel track with the same agenda as Trump. (Including the Build the Wall scam).

Same for the alleged Bannon/Mercers split. For some reason, I've always been skeptical.

[Hugin]

13. I had read years ago (Seems like a different lifetime) after Bannon's removal...

He and Trump were in contact over the phone almost daily.

I don't have any links, but, it's probably out there.

[Mike 03]

15. I don't doubt it for a second. Thanks for the information.

We'll learn so much more in the upcoming months and years.

[BobTheSubgenius]

29. That is some nice theorizing, Mike.

Good questions all. Especially the last one. We are giving a collective psychic boost for that one to come true.

4. Since these are new crimes, past pardons wouldn't apply, would they?

[Hugin]

7. Nope.

Maybe Trump thinks they would.

[lame54]

11. Pardon them Trump...

We need more witnesses for your Senate trial

[Raven123]

8. Given Flynn's martial law comments, he'd better lawyer up

[RANDYWILDMAN]

9. cold hearted TRAITORS

funny they didn't learn anything at all, shocking

[gohuskies]

16. As Capt Renoir said in Casablanca, round up the usual suspects

No surprise that this unholy triumvirate is involved.

[BusyBeingBest]

17. Flynn spoke the night before at a pre-insurrection rally. He was all over it.

That wasn't mentioned in the article for some reason.

[triron]

18. Hmmm. I wonder why????

[BusyBeingBest]

24. Three hour rally of non-stop crazy--Flynn spoke briefly, just two or three minutes.

Right before George Papadapoulous, Alex Jones, Roger Stone. Before and after that were a bunch of relative nobodies. It was ear-bleedingly stupid. But yeah, Flynn was definitely involved in the festivities.

[Kid Berwyn]

19. Whoops.

Treasonous Trio.

[DemoTex]

20. When pardons intersect with and facilitate the planning of criminal activity, especially sedition ..

It would seem to be a cut-and-dried case of conspiracy obstruction of justice. What am I missing here?

[triron]

31. Something doesn't make sense to me either. The founders couldn't have intended pardons should

be used this way.

[ancianita]

21. Not sure of their pardon dates, but any later Big Lie promotion 'help' could mean their arrests.

[judesedit]

22. Pick them up and charge them the 21st

[TomDaisy]

23. Prison for all

[Harker]

25. They must be giddy with all the winning.

I do believe in the inexorable nature of Karma.

[marble falls]

26. There is going to be trials of these people, and no one to pardon them.

[Traildogbob]

27. Menu

Does GITMO offer organic on demand?
Feed em all, especially horn head, what the kids in gages get. Cement floor, a silver Mylar blanked in large grouped cages.
Water board Bannon, may be first bath he has had in years. .

[lindysalsagal]

30. Just keep rounding them up. There aren't that many of them.
