What?
Surprised this wasn’t announced the day Trump went to Yuma to announce 300 miles of wall built.
Pre-emptive strike?
Brennan gets a visit from the FBI tomorrow ( sorry, I had posted it was today)
Bilbo Bagpipes can boast about another arrest now.
Time to look at Black Lives Matters.
Why are corrupt democrats never arrested? You telling me there were no Clinton schemes or Biden schemes?
How about the millions Rev AL owes the IRS?
WTF?
““As alleged, the defendants defrauded hundreds of thousands of donors, capitalizing on their interest in funding a border wall to raise millions of dollars, under the false pretense that all of that money would be spent on construction.
While repeatedly assuring donors that Brian Kolfage, the founder and public face of We Build the Wall, would not be paid a cent, the defendants secretly schemed to pass hundreds of thousands of dollars to Kolfage, which he used to fund his lavish lifestyle. “
One would have to know more specifics on what the funds diverted to Kolfage were used for.
Anything coming out of southern district NY is suspect, just like patent trolls having a preferred district in which to sue. That said, this doesn’t surprise me. I supported the initial crowdfunding effort. I don’t recall if I ever saw the refund Kolfage was required to offer when he changed plans and started up the organization involved in this case.
Steve Bannon can afford lawyers so Deep State may have bitten off more than they can chew.
The charges are coming from Acting Attorney Audrey Strauss (Democrat) from the corrupt Southern District of New York.
Bannon and 3 others are accused of misappropriating “hundreds of thousands of dollars” from the “We Build the Wall” fundraiser campaign. The campaign is said to have raised over $25 million.
Until the details of the indictment are disclosed it is safe to assume that this is a political prosecution.
This is blatantly political.

Folks, there is NO ACCOUNTABILITY in the system.
what's the point of re-electing such incompetent president?
This is payback for the low-level prosecution of Clinesmith.
“”””Bannon was arrested this morning in Washington, D.C. on charges
Brian Koflage, 38, of Mirimar Beach, Florida, Andrew Badolato, 56, of Sarasota, Florida, and Timothy Shea, 49, of Castle Rock, Colorado, were each charged with one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering.
The indictment was brought by prosecutors in the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York.”””
The four people charged do not live in New York.
Maybe the SDNY should focus on the corruption within its jurisdiction instead.
Or no wonder there is so much fraud and corruption in New York when the Feds are spending their time looking outside the district.
I’m just tuning in to Bannon’s podcast that started at 10. Led at the top by Raheem Kahsam (sp?), starting with a great Peter Navaro clip at the top of the hour, at least.

NOTE
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audrey_Strauss
Audrey Strauss (born 1947 or 1948) is an American attorney serving as the acting United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York. As deputy U.S. Attorney, Strauss assumed the acting position on June 20, 2020, after the previous U.S. attorney, Geoffrey Berman, stepped down amid pressure from Attorney General William Barr.
Strauss returned to the Southern District of New York in 2018, serving as Deputy U.S. Attorney under Geoffrey Berman. During her tenure as Deputy U.S. Attorney, Strauss worked on cases against Michael Cohen, Chris Collins, and Rudy Giuliani associates Igor Fruman and Lev Parnas.
On June 20, Barr stated that the President had fired Berman, adding, “By operation of law, the Deputy United States Attorney, Audrey Strauss, will become the Acting United States Attorney,” serving until a nominee is confirmed by the Senate. Berman then agreed to step down.
Apparent revenge for firing of her last Boss.
It is the ComDem way. They have been doing things like this from the time President Trump was elected. Using an Obama weaponized justice system to punish all who support President Trump.
