Yes that is true.

Few years ago the head of United Way(???) was accused of lavish spending etc and he basically hit the nail on the head...

(Generalized statement)

Don’t expect me to raise BILLIONS of dollars by entertaining prospective donors at McDs or inviting them to talk to me in the Lobby of Motel 6.

To get money out of these people, I need to live like them.

OR something to that effect.

Then again I think (NOT 100% sure) that his son was also living well.

That said, he might try to say it doesnt have to...and thus yet another fight!


Take a look at the go fund me site. you can transfer it into any account. How do you get the info from go fund me, takes a warrant? getting a warrant in another state

go fund me is an industry with little to no accountability.

you think like an honest person. there are many out there that don’t............................

Yep Barr appointed Strauss, life long Dem supporter as US Attorney who promptly launched investigation into Bannon et all.

Way to go Barr. Like there were no qualified Republicans to appoint.

Well Strauss who Barr appointed is life long Dem supporter.

Also, if Barr believes what he says why no investigation into DeBlasio’s wife and her non profit THRIVENYC where she can’t explain where 850 million dollars has gone since it was implemented 3 years ago? Despite not being to show where the money has gone, just got an increase in funding for 1 billion dollars.

I guess Strauss, Barr not interested in wondering where 850 million dollars has gone by the Mayor’s wife. But sure can go after Bannon.

If Bannon stole the money, he should be jailed. But Strauss not looking into Dem Mayor’s wife either.

I agree. Barr/ Strauss not going after DeBlasio’s wife and her inability to explain where 850 million dollars went with her THRIVENYC non profit.

Steve Bannon, ‘We Build the Wall’ organizers arrested, charged with defrauding donors

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.

There is talk of an expensive boat, house in Miramar, golf cart that looks like a car. Cosmetic surgery (for wife?)

Brian probably began with good intentions. When gofundme wanted funds dispersed, Bannon and co. Got to him. Shame if true.

Wow...that article sounds like it was written by Daily Beast!

Tidbit FTA....

According to financial disclosures when he joined the White House staff, Bannon was worth between $10 million and $48 million in 2017, with most of the value in his consulting firm, Bannon Strategic Advisors.

Trump fired Bannon in Agust 2017 after the adviser publicly disagreed with the administration’s North Korea policy. Trump later said Bannon had ‘lost his mind.’

But more recently Bannon has been an influential Trump world voice, appearing frequently on television and running a podcast where Trump aides are guests. There have been persistent reports of regular contact between the two men, but no known in person meetings.

Board members of We Build the Wall include Erik Prince, a the billionaire mercenary who is and brother of U.S. Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, former Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach - another Trump-world figure who led the failed inquiry into alleged voter fraud - and former Boston Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling.

Yep. Sadly, the ComDems can always count on useful idiots on the right giving them top cover for their partisan assaults. Note when the shoe is on the other foot Democrats NEVER support a Republican admin.

We had a massivly corrupt Democrat Congresswoman here in Jacksonville, Florida. She’s was just released from federal prison. Democrats supported her even as she awaited sentencing. Sad to see some throwing these guys overboard based on another partisan Democrat attack.
