NY District Attorney Cy Vance Investigating Steve Bannon for State Crimes: Trump's Pardon Can't Help Him Now

Steve Bannon may have won a battle by accepting a Trump pardon to help him get out of his federal prosecution. But Bannon may end up losing the war, as he's now being criminally investigated by New York District Attorney Cy Vance. Importantly, not only is a presidential pardon inoperative against state court prosecutions, but the US Supreme Court has said that accepting a pardon is akin to a confession to the crimes for which you are pardoned.  As I mention during the second half of this video, if you'd like to sign the Team Justice letter to all 50 state attorneys general urging them to open investigations into avoidable COVID deaths, you can read the letter here:  patreon.com/posts/47596972 And here is the link to sign the letter: forms.gle/bfTzqPYisNJVCStt8 I hope you'll join us in our efforts to hold Trump and company accountable for preventable COVID deaths.
