At this point, no sane organization or charity should register in NY. The NRA is a classic example. Why in god’s name did the Build the Wall foundation register there?

New York is just a place everyone should avoid.

What a disgusting hole.

Re: 6 - sure.

But it doesn’t detract from the fact that Bannon and others mislead people regarding their donations.

I am ahead of the curve. New York and CA are two states I have ALWAYS said to avoid since I was 16. I am 63 and still have never been there and don’t ant to.

“But it doesn’t detract from the fact that Bannon and others mislead people regarding their donations.”

In other words, you believe the fat boy’s accusation? And you have to believe that he would choose an impartial jury for a trial?

And that email put forward by the prosecutor would go far to clear Bannon.

Clearly he was guilty as he even claims so.

As an independent thinker, being fully aware of the corrupted law fair in New York State that is waged against MAGA, and understanding that their are times when people take a plea deal to avoid further complications, I would have to examine the evidence myself before I determine if Steve Bannon is really and truly guilty.

That's been true for over a decade. Their crook ex-governor announced it in no uncertain terms:

Agreed. I have never been to Chicago and I don’t plan to.

Understand.

Having read the Fed and some of the State items that were docketed, I’ve concluded he was part of a grift.

I don’t believe it was registered in New York. The excuse they gave was that some of their people donated to this nefarious wall and they were prosecuting Steve under the pretense that their citizens were harmed, although as far as I know, no one came forward to say they were harmed.

Yes, looks like it was HQ in Florida and New York claimed their locals were harmed.

Looks like nobody should accept donations from New York for a while.
