The smart move would be to say he'll let the criminal justice system take its course and let Republicans fight it out, said Bannon.

If an indictment doesn't cost Trump the GOP primary, it would hover over his general election campaign. "Anything that's good for Trump in a Republican primary is also good for Biden," Bannon said.
