True, if they had what it takes they’d pull Joe off the stage during his speech.

The case is being handled by the Office’s Public Corruption Unit. Assistant United States Attorneys Nicolas Roos, Alison G. Moe, and Robert B. Sobelman are in charge of the prosecution.


The corrupt Office of Public Corruption Unit strikes again.

“The charges contained in the Indictment are merely accusations. The defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.”

LOL! We must believe the accusers, etc.

And if accused, you must prove not just beyond a reasonable doubt, but way, way, beyond an absolute certainty, that you are innocent (and even then that may not be enough).

And right on cue, there is a long detailed negative Wikipedia entry about Kolfage and “We Build the Wall”.

Kolfage lost both legs and an arm in Iraq.

“acting U.S. Attorney Audrey Strauss, Kolfage and the others “defrauded hundreds of thousands of donors, capitalizing on their interest in funding a border wall to raise millions of dollars, under the false pretense that all of that money would be spent on construction. While repeatedly assuring donors that Brian Kolfage, the founder and public face of We Build the Wall, would not be paid a cent, the defendants secretly schemed to pass hundreds of thousands of dollars to Kolfage, which he used to fund his lavish lifestyle.”

I hope Audrey Strauss gets to experience the lavish lifestyle of Kolfage very soon.

There is no such thing as the “Trump DOJ.” This is the Democrats at SDNY in operation.

Surprised this wasn’t announced the day Trump went to Yuma to announce 300 miles of wall built.

Maybe true, but the report said the DOJ announced it. So, if Trump can be accused of using the DOJ and Attorney General as his personal Lawyer(s), the flip can also be true

The case is assigned to U.S. District Judge Analisa Torres in the Southern District of New York.

An Obama appointee.

What a coincidence.

Funny how those hundreds of thousands don’t feel like they have been defrauded.

“Brian Kolfage, Stephen Bannon, and Two Others Alleged to Have Funneled Hundreds of Thousands of Dollars From the Organization to Kolfage; All Four Defendants Allegedly Profited From Their Roles in the Scheme”

Folks, PACs can pay their staff whatever they want. The Lincoln Project used almost off of its donated money on themselves until very recently.

I don’t get the problem, here.
