Accused fraudster and former White House strategist Steve Bannon was aboard a $28 million yacht owned by a Chinese billionaire when he was arrested on fraud charges Thursday morning, according to reports.
The 150-foot mega vessel was in the Long Island Sound near Westbrook, Connecticut, when President Trump’s former strategist was picked up by US Postal Service inspectors, the Hartford Courant reported.
The boat, the Lady May, is owned by Guo Wengui, one of China’s most wanted fugitives, who is wanted in Beijing on fraud, blackmail and bribery charges

An indictment isn’t really spin. If a prosecutor can prove the charges beyond a reasonable doubt to a jury, that conviction of a crime, not a political move.
Actually the reality is that the 92 US Attorneys across America file thousands of criminal cases each year that no one ever hears of and have no political implications whatsoever. And the 10000 local prosecutors file hundreds of thousands of cases as well.
Match that against the very few publicized high profile political cases. There is no comparison. It may seem that way to you based on the very few cases you hear about.
“This is not going to be a difficult case to prosecute.”
Those are the know cases. Those cases are part of the equal justice statute too.
Bill and Hillary have committed many heinous crimes, none will stick to them.
The attempted coup against President Trump is the worst such political crime I’ve ever watched happen. The System preserves itself against the truth about these “few” abuses.
The legal system? Too many rules, too vague definition of crimes, too arbitrary about how they are applied.
I am not young, can remember many such terrible abuses of power.
No, I am not a lawyer.
Bannon Bump!
More money than brains, no sense for beauty and grace.
Sounds like most of the money went to the wall lol again its a one sided prosecutorial document. I never draw conclusions until I hear defense response. Ive seen so many meticulously detailed indictments crumble once its put under scrutiny and defense. Also like I said, if true its very sad, if they had just listed reasonable salaries upfront they probably still would have received major donations. Personally I never expect people to carry out major initiatives for free but of course have to be upfront about it
you reveal yourself with this comment. Bannon or none of the other defendants are criminals until they are proven guilty, not because of some one sided prosecutorial document.

good stuff... in two parts
I was invited to one once but I was told to bring my own mop........LOL!
Thank you, that is most helpful information.
What I left out is this:
Ghislaine Maxwell Arrested Just 11 Days After Geoffrey Berman was Fired
This is a most evil cabal that has suddenly (/sarcasm) been prosecuted since Berman was removed.
Connect the dots.
This case was brought forward, because it will be used to demonstrate the alleged worthiness of vote-by-USPS-mail, on the alleged integrity of US Postal Service Inspectors.
The left will expect the “pains taking effort” to be a broad brush.

As I said yesterday, it’s actually a very uncomplicated case.

Gee, that’s not what the Indictment pleads.
I guess conspiracy buffs know more than the postal inspectors who put the case together.
