A defiant Steve Bannon claimed Thursday that his bombshell indictment on fraud and money-laundering charges was a fiasco caused by people who want to block the construction of the border.
As he walked out of Manhattan federal court in Lower Manhattan Thursday, Bannon ripped off his surgical mask before claiming to members of the press that this entire fiasco is to stop people who want to build the wall.

Presidents do not publicly chew out members of their administration they just fired unless there was a lot of antagonism behind the scenes.

The radical Left prosecutors in the Southern District of New York are searching for another Michael Cohen.
The arrests were announced by the Department of Justice. It’s not a New York case. It’s a federal case.
LOLOL!! I LOVE that pic!!
Exactly. Bannons statement is a lame attempt to duck. These jokers only built a tiny amount of the wall so no one was going to falsely accuse them to stop the wall.
Bottom line is the defendants stole peoples money to enrich their lavish lifestyles after promising donors they wouldnt get paid a penny. In other words, fraud.
You sound like Rich Lowry. Karl Rove. Jonah Goldberg on a really bad-pants day lol.
Proof? Did you read the indictment? They laid out the proof for even a simpleton to digest.
The defendants are on their way to prison for fraud.
I can’t speak to these allegations, but personally, I lost respect for Steve Bannon when he said that President Trump made the biggest political mistake of his presidency when he fired James Comey.
Has President Trump ever NOT publicly chewed out someone he just fired? LOL.
The guy eats antagonism for breakfast, dude!
The crocodile denies any allegations of alligation.
Actually, it doesn’t do diddly daddly to stop the wall. There are still plenty of public funds for that project.
Military people are generally an upstanding bunch, but are just as capable of falling, IMO. Just look at Charlie Rangel (Korean war hero) and James Mattis and John Murtha (US Marines).
Will I get my donation back?
One thing that disturbed me about this indictment of Steve Bannon was the speech given this afternoon by President Donald Trump when he was asked about the Indictment of Steve by a reporter.
The answer he gave made me very uncomfortable since President Trump seemed to be throwing Bannon under the bus when there was No evidence other then what was on that written Indictment Sheet.
I have found that through numerous occasions that President Donald Trump has very little loyalty to people who have served with him or are assisting him to this day.
I just don’t understand why he won’t fight the press when this crap occurs.Fight like he does for everything else.
I won’t be voting for any of these Rats but President Trump has really disturbed me with his lack of loyalty.
Loyalty is a two way street. Dont forget, it was Bannon who invited the fIre and fury author into the White House.
An Architect ...but I think his wealth also came from speaking engagements and guest appearances, cover magazines etc.. Plus he had some sort of coffee business. Also his wife works.
At any rate they had money before this.
Above: Brian Kolfage's wife Ashley, who paraded her massive spending and luxury goods on TikTok and Instagram.
If the “We Build the Wall”group didn’t collect the money to start the construction on that segment of wall they built President Trump would have done Nothing.
He did nothing until that First segment built by “We Build the Wall” was completed.
Its was weeks later that President Trump got the Gumption to redirect funding from the D.O.D. into construction of that Border wall.
When the wall was done the section built by the “we Build the Wall” group was built better then the early sections built by the Army Corp of Engineers.
