Will Trump pardon Steve Bannon and the three other indicted individuals

[no_hypocrisy]

before they even are deposed? And their bail money returned? Before November 3rd?

1. Maybe not before 11/3 but shortly thereafter

[BSdetect]

2. They likely won't be convicted till after January 2021

Hope they try to drag out their defence till then.

Any state level crimes they can be charged with?

3. Yeah, the wheels of justice grind exceeding slow..

.. but they grind exceeding fine.

9. They can be pardoned right now. They don't need to be convicted first.

4. I sure hope he does, these acts keep proving trump/putin connections

[SpaceNeedle]

5. He will not pardon any accomplices.

Note that he did not pardon Roger Stone - only communted his sentence.

If he pardons, the person loses the 5th amendment protections and can be forced to testify about all they know.

7. tRump was in the first stages of throwing Bannon under the bus yesterday.....

so not expecting a pardon.

10. I'm not a lawyer and I don't play one on tv but are there state charges? tRUMP can't pardon

those... If this is our August surprise I can't wait for September, October and November!
