| Steve Bannon: I survived prison because my life's been nothing like Hunter Biden's |
| 2024-10-31 |
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] I’m very glad he was not harmed by the experience, as so many January 6 prisoners have been.
Hours after being released from federal prison, Donald Trump's former chief strategist Steve Bannon said he had a warning for the Biden family: Pardon Hunter before he has to serve a sentence that could destroy him. 'I don't think Hunter Biden would last 48 hours in a federal prison,' he told DailyMail.com 'I think that it would be too much for him, particularly with his previous drug addiction.' The president's son could face years in prison when he is sentenced for gun and tax crimes in December. Bannon detailed the hardships of life inside during an exclusive interview at the end of his four-month sentence for contempt of Congress. He left Federal Correctional Institution in Danbury, Connecticut, in the early hours of Tuesday morning. After broadcasting his War Room livestream show from a Manhattan hotel suite he sat down with DailyMail.com to talk about the lowest point of his incarceration, what he learned from the inmates and how life in the U.S. Navy had prepared him for being cooped up with so many men. 'I'm 70 years old. I can tell you, there's not many 70-year-olds I know on Wall Street or in the political class that could go to a federal prison for four months,' he said. 'It's extremely difficult. 'These places are violent places. There's lots of drugs. This drug, K2 is all over these prisons.' K2 is synthetic marijuana, also known as 'spice', that can be sprayed onto paper and smuggled into jails. 'That's why you have to be maniacally focused 24 hours a day. I think it's evident to me that Joe Biden is going to have to pardon his son.' Biden has repeatedly said he will not use his powers to pardon his son. But insiders say the thought of Hunter, who is five years sober, spending time in prison has been a drain on the family. Bannon was convicted in 2022 on two counts of defying subpoenas issued by the congressional investigation into the January 6 attack when Trump supporters ransacked the U.S. Capitol in 2021. His release just a week before Election Day frees one of the most powerful Trump voices back on to the airwaves just as the two candidates hammer their closing messages. Polls put Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris neck and neck. Bannon was straight back into the swing of the campaign on Tuesday morning. He returned to the airwaves at 10 am and used his show to accuse former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of trying to silence him. 'She sent me to a federal prison as a political prisoner, to do two things, to make sure that she tried to tamp down the power of this show, right, tamp down the power of the show, and also to break me,' he said. 'Nancy Pelosi, take out your number two pencil and write this down: this show has never been more powerful.' He urged supporters to ensure Democrats 'cannot steal the election,' showing that the prison sentence had not dimmed his fire. Later in the day it was on to a press conference, where dozens of journalists crammed into an upscale hotel suite to hear him repeat the unfounded claim that the 2020 election had been stolen. Dressed in his trademark double-shirt and Barbour jacket getup, he said he had already spoken to Trump, but declined to offer further details of their conversation. Victory would come down to getting the ground game running and turning out the vote, he said. But he had a warning for anyone who thought it would be over quickly. 'My focus is on victory next Tuesday and the biggest number possible, because folks: don't think it's going to end on Tuesday,' he said. 'This is going to take a while to sort through.' Talking to DailyMail.com later, he described how the strict regimen and outdoor exercise had helped him lose weight and that time spent with other inmates energized him for the political struggle ahead. But he said it was wrong for anyone to think prison was a camp. And Biden should think hard about what it would do to Hunter. 'I don't his son will handle it,' he said. 'These are, these are dangerous, tough places.'
