Today, thank God, America’s most formidable political prisoner, Stephen K. Bannon, is scheduled to be let out of federal prison. Not since Nelson Mandela was released from jail in South Africa thirty-four years ago has the freeing of a wrongly incarcerated hero been more anticipated – and, quite likely, more consequential.

The latter would apply because my friend Steve’s return to the fray as a leader of the Make America Great Again movement will bring fresh energy and strategic vision to bear at a decisive moment.

To the great credit of the myriad War Room guest hosts and contributors during his absence, the home fires have been kept burning throughout Steve’s four-month incarceration – the result of a politically weaponized and unconstitutional prosecution. They must, and will, do so with necessarily heightened intensity and effect now that Steve Bannon is back in the fight.

This is Frank Gaffney.
