Question about Bannon's Pardon

[LakeVermilion]

Isn't Steve Bannon playing with fire by not cooperating? Aren't there conditions that come with accepting a pardon? If he refuses to testify can't the pardon be revoked?

Just askin'

1. I don't know, but whatever he does now is post what he was pardoned for & his pardon won't protect

him

[BSdetect]

2. Good question. I do hope so.

[marble falls]

3. Bannon is playing out 45's game. He's hoping for an out if he can delay long enough.

[Fiendish Thingy]

4. No, pardons can't be revoked once accepted. Nt

5. The pardon can't be revoked but it doesn't cover new crimes.

He's in trouble if Garland chooses to enforce the subpoena. A big IF.

7. Maybe Trump will give him a new pardon.

If Trump thinks he can still have Executive Privilege, he probably thinks he can still give pardons.

9. Heee!

11. He's probably got Moscow Rudy working on a lawsuit right now

to sue the Government to reinstate his pardon privileges.

[RocRizzo55]

14. As long as Rudy

is willing to work for free. The con hasn't paid him yet.

[KS Toronado]

16. He'd probably pay him with a future pardon.

6. And New York State laughs at these silly pardons

Bannon is just slowly circling the bowl before going down

[rurallib]

8. I think the question is that since he accepted the pardon can he

refuse to testify on grounds it may incriminate him, since he can't be put in jail because he was pardoned?

I am no lawyer, but he was pardoned for different crimes. The pardon shouldn't cover these crimes, therefore he could be held in contempt. The committee would have to give him immunity to force him to testify.

The pardon he got was for specific crimes, not a carte blanche that forgives everything past and future.

Can the pardon be revoked? Good question. I am thinking no, there is no provision to undo what is. done.

Once again, I am no lawyer.

10. The pardon actually takes away his 5th Amendment protection.

He can't be prosecuted for the past crimes, so now he can be forced to testify about those crimes.

[malaise]

13. I heard that New York state is about to charge him for defrauding

its citizens with that so called wall money.

15. Let's just hope he lives.

Suicide in not painless. Nor always self induced.
