[JLW]

NEW YORK —
Former White House adviser Steve Bannon was arrested Thursday on charges that he and three others ripped off donors to an online fundraising scheme “We Build The Wall.”
The charges were contained in an indictment unsealed in Manhattan federal court.

Does this surprise anyone? The irony is that it has to do with defrauding people on the border wall.

There’s just no end to Republican corruption and dishonesty.

Republicans have no honor when it comes to graft or corruption. Compare the number of officials indicted in Republican vs. Democratic administrations. It is not even close. Trump is just the sleaziest of the sleazy Republican Administrations.

Steven Brannon is the crown prince of sleaze. Look at the guy. The guy gets his clothes from a dumpster diving.

Arrested on a Chinese billionaire's yacht? I thought they were evil?

Steve Bannon is arrested and INDICTED over 'multi-million wall fraud'

Wall Evolution

We're going to build a wall and make Mexico pay for it.
We're going to build a wall and make you pay for it.
Fuck it. We're just taking your money.

IF Bannon F'ed over donors, it'll come out.
But it is still an IF.

Sure it is, but do you see anyone acting surprised? Trump didn't even pretend - went straight to 'sad'.

I am surprised he did not wish Bannon well like he did Maxwell, Epstein co-conspirator in soliciting under age girls for sex.
But then Trump disrespects McCain and Mattis because they had a spine to stand up to the slime bucket,

I wonder... is Kris Kobach in on the scam?

I wonder... is Kris Kobach in on the scam?

you mean Ann Coulter's favorite conservative? i hope we find out!

 

[basquebromance]

"i know Bannon. haven't spoken to him in a long time, but I know him", bellowed Trump today, pulling a line from the "who dat?" page of his playbook...

 

[Care4all]

Why are so so so many of the corrupt people out there attracted to Trump....?

Are they all trying to just use him and his name for the personal money they can make off of him? Manafort, Gates, Flynn, Bannon, Stone, Cohen, Igor and Lev Parnus, Giuliani etc.???

Care4all 90 day rule? wut??

Yeah.... So much for rules, laws, ethics, or regulations......???

I guess it's a no holds barred situation.....?

The American Taliban is completely 24/7/365 political, it's sick. They've been nonstop attacking President Trump. They are convinced they MUST be in charge.

All of a sudden you need President Trump's tax returns

I hope President Trump has a rolled up newspaper - indictments of the Coup Plotters- and will flog the Taliban publicly like the yappy little puppy has coming.

(I never hit any of my dogs)

All the same... before and after but lumped together with dear leader. The fleecing of America.

Bannon tried to convince liberals that the populist way was also their way too. he had an affinity to Bernie supporters. he even met Larry Summers once. Summer's wife refused to let Bannon enter their home, though

"do you realize what your fucking friend is doing? you're fucking the country", Summer groused.

"you elite Democrats only care about the margins, folks who are rich and those who are poor", was Bannon's stinging rejoinder

"your trade mumbo jumbo will sink the world into a depression", thundered Summers

"and you exported jobs to China", declared a delighted Bannon, always enjoying raking the establishment

• Steve Bannon, a former Trump campaign adviser, was charged with fraud by federal prosecutors in New York on Thursday and arrested by agents from the US Postal Inspection Service.
• Prosecutors charged Bannon and three others with conspiracy to commit wire fraud and conspiracy to commit money laundering in connection with a private campaign to build a border wall.
• CBS News and NBC New York reported that federal agents from the Postal Inspection Service arrested Bannon aboard a boat off the coast of Westbrook, Connecticut.

Steve Bannon, a former Trump campaign adviser, was charged with fraud by federal prosecutors and arrested by agents from the US Postal Inspection Service on Thursday.
The arrest came as the Trump administration faces accusations that it's trying to undermine the Postal Service in a crucial election year.
Postal Inspection Service agents arrested Bannon aboard a luxury mega yacht, the $28 million Lady May owned by Chinese businessman Guo Wengui, off the coast of Westbrook, Connecticut, according to the Hartford Courant. Bannon is expected to appear in court later Thursday.


Prosecutors in the Southern District of New York announced on Thursday morning that they had charged Bannon, Brian Kolfage, and two others with conspiracy to commit wire fraud and conspiracy to commit money laundering in connection with a multimillion-dollar campaign to raise money to build a wall on the US's southern border.

Prosecutors said Kolfage and Bannon defrauded donors out of millions of dollars and used their donations to enrich themselves, funneling the money through a complicated web of shell companies and nonprofits.

The US Postal Inspection Service, or USPIS, is the investigative and law-enforcement arm of the Postal Service, tasked with investigating a wide range of crimes including narcotics trafficking, mail and identity theft, cybercrime, money laundering, and fraud and scams involving the mail.

US attorneys' offices work with several federal investigative agencies, such as the USPIS, the FBI, and the Drug Enforcement Administration, to bring federal criminal charges against defendants.

Over the past few weeks, the Postal Service has been the focus of a substantial amount of attention and controversy. It's facing serious financial difficulties from a significant drop-off in mail volume because of the coronavirus pandemic. While the Postal Service, which doesn't take taxpayer money, is expected to remain solvent through next year, its financial state is a long-term problem.

Oh gee the post office demanding billions $$$$$$$$ is behind this...or should I say the dems at the post office demanding billions $$$$ are behind this. Sounds more like they trying to hurt Trump by going after Bannon-----no wonder the lib trolls aren't posting the whole story.

What was he doing on Chinese billionaires yacht? What a patriot.

Oh I don't know---maybe having some fun, visiting, fishing, catching some rays? What billionaires yacht and why should I care exactly?

 

[Ben Thomson]

If he's guilty, so be it, hang his ass.

That's the way it should be for EVERYONE that's broken the law... EVERYONE.

You want Trump hung?..wow

It seems funny that almost every indictment against conservatives originate in this NY court or the 9th circuit. It's a shame our court system has let politics override the law. This is the kind of predictably timed shit that makes people skeptical of our legal system. Having said that, you do the crime you do the time. Waiting to see the indictments in the FBI-DOJ coup against Trump as well.

Ya, you would expect this to happen in Texas or Kansas, not New York...(rolls eyes)

 

[basquebromance]

Bannon thinks of himself as a fixer, power broker, and kingmaker with a portfolio. he miserably failed while mentoring Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachmann, but succeeded spectacularly with Trump

and now we are here

Trump is a bigger crook than Manafort, Gates, Flynn, Bannon, Stone, Cohen, Igor and Lev Parnus, Giuliani. How has he stayed out of jail all of these years.

If that had been anyone connected to obama and he was still president you would not hear about it and no one would be charged.

 

[basquebromance]

i call it the holy grail wall...or the wall that wasn't

i don't think it will ever be built under Trump

 

[Crepitus]

Southern District of New York ? Sounds like it could just be a political thing from a corrupt US Attorney's office.

I'll wait for AG Barr and their superiors in Washington to review this before casting judgment.

You mean Billy the Bagman? He probably helped them set it up.
