Feds Tell Judge: Don't Dismiss Steve Bannon's Indictment -- But If You Do, Keep It Narrow
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/feds-tell-judge-dont-dismiss-steve-bannons-indictment-%e2%80%94-but-if-you-do-keep-it-narrow/ar-BB1ff2jM?ocid=U483DHP&li=BBnb7KzLate on Thursday night, prosecutors reiterated their position while preparing for a third option: If District Judge Analisa Torres were to grant Bannon’s request for dismissal, the government wants it to be just as narrow as Trump crafted his pardon.
“If the court is inclined to dismiss the indictment as to Bannon, the government respectfully submits that any order of dismissal should conform to the language and scope of the pardon,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Nicolas Roos wrote in a 2-page letter.
Some legal experts believe the move could signal plans for prosecutors to pursue Bannon on other charges.
Well, that'd be sweet
