If you don't think Bannon's Chinese sugar daddy is Trump's new banker, I have a acid-etched bathtub to sell you.

(7,715 posts)If he has anything worthwhile, the Democratic-controlled Congress and/or the the Democratic-controlled Justice Department will subpoena him and require him to testify. If he doesn't show up or if he lies, he will be prosecuted.
That's what was missing the last four years. It is no longer missing as of today!

(20,051 posts)The only thing Trump pardoned him for was bilking money from donors in a boarder wall grift. Thats all. That's the only crime he cannot take the 5th on now.

Who gives a shite about Bannon. I only care that Joe and Kamala along with a Democratically controlled Congress start on January 20. We can deal with the rest.

(43,307 posts)According to The Guardian (London) in January 2018, Bannon's ideology is substantially similar to that of Stephen Miller, Tucker Carlson, Benny Johnson, Raheem Kassam and Matthew Boyle, the latter two having been protégés of Bannon at Breitbart.

Bannon of course will have to answer their questions and he cannot lie about it either nor can he plead the 5th as any crime "he" might have committed was just pardoned.
