No. The defense here is that is a misappropriation of government resources to assault supporters of POTUS. Sad to see so-called conservatrives so comfortable with another coupist assault on supporters of POTUS.
This is little different than Lois Lerner. You ok with that, too? This is banana republic stuff. Would you rather have SDNY chasing terrorists or applying a politically motivated rectal probe “investigation” to a triple amputee vet raising money for the wall?
Re: 174 - The relevant issue is did Bannon et al mislead donors who gave to WBTW?
Apparently, there is some evidence that indicates that WBTW told potential donors / donors that 100 percent of the contributions would go to wall construction, Kolfage would not receive compensation, etc.
