And once again, the public is inserted into the excerpt. Why are they so reluctant to let us know the exact original text?
Adding MMGR’s thread here http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3490779/posts
If they can prove even part of what is in this indictment they are toast

And the trail wont be that hard to prove. These clowns were idiots.
I have to say I am really disillusioned about Bannon after reading that indictment.
He is a clown. This scheme is so clumsy it’s like some third rate huckster put it together
Maybe it’s drugs, or alzheimer’s or alcohol or some other substance that turned him into this..but I sure thought he was smarter than this scheme.
and btw, if you are a sports bettor and dont believe Vegas RIGS games..or Mafia..or someone...take a look at the final seconds of the Magic versus bucks game tonight
It makes no sense whatsoever other than someone bought someone off.
Magic is down. One basket will make a difference and will sway many many thousands of dollars...and they do this:

Incredible.
And blatant.
The case was investigated by the Postal Inspectors not the fbi.
What I was most impressed with is when Kolfage and his wife went to the collect the dollar from Pelosi that she promised for the wall. She never gave them the dollar. When is she going to be charged?
All you need to know is that bannons first public statement was not I DIDNT DEFRAUD ANYBODY. Instead it was THIS IS JUST AN ATTEMPT TO STOP THE WALL.
As if prosecuting a couple of grifters would stop the wall.
Bannon will look for a plea bargain. He cant afford to go to trial. The exposure is too great.
The forensic are pretty simple. Just read the Indictment and you will see what the grand jury saw and what the prosecution will present. Pretty simple stuff.
An Indictment is not a press release.
Good, then dont. Working down at the manure plant is so much more rewarding than putting criminals in jail.
I am against political prosecutions of any kind guilty or not.
Just because YOU dont care ...doesnt absolve them of committing a crime.
this is pretty straight forward..and will be easy to prove because this gang was a bunch of idiots.
Just curious. If you were a defense lawyer how would you try to defend these idiots.
Brian cant say he was clueless and didnt run the operation because he made overt attempts to hide the source of his income.
I am a prosecutor by trade. The only defenses I see are
1. I didnt make the representation that no one would take a penny, only Koflage did.
2. The money in my personal bank account was reimbursement for expenses. This is a stretch because Koflage got 20K a month and Bannon got a million.
3. We didnt intend to deceive or defraud anybody.
4. We just didnt file the right paperwork. We should have declared we were going to get paid. This was just an oversight.
5. We are respectable people, we should get the benefit of the doubt.
In reality there isnt any real good or effective defense so they will work hard for a plea bargain, which they will probably get. They will have to agree to the asset forfeiture filed.
Notice that bannons first public statement was NOT to claim his innocence. That tells you even he cant come with a good excuse til he talks to a lawyer.
Compared to what, spending days down at the Texas manure plant?
We get this crap now but Bull Durhams "investigation" seems stalled forever???? Just one low level indictment?????????
You can put money that Steve Bannon and Koflage are taking it seriously.
Ahhhh....your non-answer says it all.
