Trump's last-minute pardons include Bannon, Lil Wayne and scores of others
President Donald Trump issued a raft of 11th-hour pardons and commutations early Wednesday that included his onetime political strategist, a former top fundraiser and two well-known rappers but not himself or his family.

But Trump did pardon Steve Bannon, who scammed Trump's own constituents with a fake border wall fundraiser.
It was a difficult decision for Trump to make, though, and guess what made it so?
One concern was Bannon's possible connection to the January 6 riot of Trump supporters at the US Capitol, according to a source familiar with the discussions.
It wasn't that Bannon is a white collar criminal who exploited right-wingers that made Trump dither, because Trump's Administration is filled to the brim with them, but that pardoning Bannon may have been misinterpreted as a showing of loyalty to his staunchest supporters in the general population who stuck with him until the very end
Fuck Trump.
