Just one day after his arrest, President Donald Trump’s former adviser Steve Bannon is vowing to fight fraud and money laundering charges tied to a fundraising campaign that claimed to support the building of the Trump administration’s Southern border wall.
“I’m in this for the long-haul. I’m in this for the fight,” Bannon said. “I’m going to continue to fight.”
Good for you, Steve, that all sounds very defiant but the thing with criminal charges is if you don’t want to go to jail you’re pretty much obligated to mount a defense. It doesn’t make you special. You don’t get extra points for not wanting to go to jail. That’s assumed. Idiot.
“I’m going to continue to fight.” MEANS one or all of these:
1 / I can’t wait to trade testimony for lenience.
2 / A pardon should be in the works as we speak.
3 / I am slam-dunk guilty and don’t want to go to jail, so I will delay, delay, delay…
Zzzzzzzz… That’s all this guy has? I shouldn’t be shocked a Hollywood producer is going to the well one too many times, not admitting the content has grown stale.
Then there’s the other scam involving an amount in excess of $300M. Of which, the amount you’ve stolen has not yet been divulged. Guessing more than the $1M in the first case.
The only hit job here Steve? Is the one you’ve performed on yourself.
Here’s hoping you can’t buy your freedom with grifted cash.
He’s sounding very fork-stuck to me… and desperate. Good. He deserves every pound of pressure coming down on his head. Karma has a name…
I read a transcript of his ‘statement’ outside the court where he was indicted. So much gobbledygook. Is this just the ‘new semantics’ of the frothy right? Stuff a sentence with a couple of trigger words and then blather on around them repetitiously and nonsensically?
“Fight, yeah, gonna fight disgrace some fight, not give up wall fight never stop brown things fighting…”
I also read that he’s been slapped with $5 million bail, and has to pay $1.75 million up front. That cash has to come from a reliable source, is due in a couple of weeks and… he doesn’t appear to have a source for that money yet. Crowdsourcing bail in 3…2…1…?
I’m surprised the court allowed him to keep his “War Room” soapbox. It’s going to be nonstop “victim” rants for the duration…
