I don’t know how to donate to Trump without 30% going to the RNC. That’s what it says on their site.


That’s fine with me. We don’t want to kill RNC. Coming from Trump attaches some strings to it.

The interesting one is going to be the one for George Floyd. Brother said he was in charge and could disperse money as he saw fit to help his family.

“4. How the funds will be spent? Funds collected here will be spent by the Floyd family as outlined above. This fund will be governed and controlled at the discretion Philonise Floyd for the family’s benefit.

5. How do you intend to get the funds to those in need? All funds collected on this website will be withdrawn to an established account for the benefit of my family. 100% of funds collected here will go to my family. “

BUT

checks made to Estate of George Floyd.

The Estate of George Floyd
c/o Ben Crump Law, PLLC
122 S. Calhoun Streety
Tallahassee, FL 32301
Attn: Adner Marcelin


So legally, if I was an heir I would put a stop to that freewheeling notion of the brother on that 15 million dollars

One of the 4 named, Andrew Badalato, is a bad news con artist. He has mob ties.

Steve Bannon can afford lawyers so Deep State may have bitten off more than they can chew.

The Rats will start saying that DJT has been pocketing money raised for building the Wall.

The charges are coming from Acting Attorney Audrey Strauss (Democrat) from the corrupt Southern District of New York.

Bannon and 3 others are accused of misappropriating “hundreds of thousands of dollars” from the “We Build the Wall” fundraiser campaign. The campaign is said to have raised over $25 million.

Until the details of the indictment are disclosed it is safe to assume that this is a political prosecution.

Just saw a story where the lawyer known as the Lottery Lawyer who represented many jackpot winners got indicted over a fraud scheme involving the mob.

Interesting points. Money might go into the estate but the lawyer would have a lot of “legal bills” to charge against it. and pay out to certain people, like brother. What little remains is split with the heirs? with the threat of not getting anything if they complain?

Let the libs fund the” go fund me site”. Conservatives stay away............................ or at lest test the situation and how do we do that because of the nature of the beast?

*** “While repeatedly assuring donors that Brian Kolfage, the founder and public face of We Build the Wall, would not be paid a cent” ***

These are words a good lawyer would tell you never to say.

Being a triple amputee doesnt give you a pass on committing crimes.

I suspect they have a trail of evidence.

We will have to wait and see.

On the plus side, he is low man on the totem pole. He can roll on the others.

This may be more about the Chinese Dissident involved with Bannon... than anything else.

When it comes to Trump's associates, the DOJ is very fast to hunt down, harass and indict. While associates of the Deep State remain non charged.

To be rational and dispassionate about it, this charge involves wire fraud and embezzlement, which is an egregious and tractable violation which leaves behind obvious financial fingerprints.

On the other hand, the Deep State over reaches are more about conspiratorial entrapment, and report falsification, which is much harder to catch, prove, and prosecute because there is less of a paper trail than financial transactions like these.

Bannon just screams "sleazy used-car salesman", and I am not surprised he is a crook.

And lets dispense with the Q lunacy. There is no sweep about to happen, there are not thousands of sealed warrants, and none of the conspirators are in the slightest danger.

You would know. Oh wait, there's Clinesmith. But I'm sure he's the only one.

Go back to sleep.

And that is a personal warning to all of us.

You can just hear him say, “But you deserve a little for all the work you have done.”

Trap set and snapped.

I never was under that illusion. As election day draws nearer, the Dempcrats are applying the pressure. They are playing for keeps.They are playing to win?The Republicans are not even the game. Well, yes they are. Except for President Trump. they are helping the Democrats. Lindsey Graham has signaled by his admiration of michelle obama where his support will be. Or more importantly,where it won’t be. But no one should be surprised by that. He is a back stabber without peer.

Dems like to go after the handicapped- they went after wheelchair bound Scooter Libby, now triple amputee veteran Kolfage.

Barr has said “one standard of law applies to everyone”. Tell us what part of that you disagree with.

You forgot to include the rest of that quote, "...except Hillary and Bill." Nothing will ever happen to them in this life.

just be quiet ms “I’ll bet they’ll indict Don Jr” you were one of the biggest blow hards on here that initially touted Mueller’s case as being legit.
