A New York grand jury has indicted former Trump advisor Steve Bannon on charges related to the private border wall fundraising scam “We Build The Wall.” Bannon and others faced a federal indictment over the scheme in 2020, but, unlike his codefendants, Bannon received a last-minute pardon from then-President Donald Trump on Trump’s way out the door.
SCOTUS will just have to pardon him on these charges I guess.
Other then porta potties was anything built?
Boats, and at least one house were bought.
Finally, justice will be served for all the racist MAGA morons who were stupid enough to have sent their hard-earned money to a bunch of dipshits who promised to build a wall.
It is actually a defense to fraud that the victim’s reliance on the fraudulent statements was not reasonable.
How about justice for all us taxpayers who had our taxes misappropriated to build that fucking wall?
The Crowbar Hotel just isn’t as cool as a billionaire’s yacht. Is it, Steve?
Traitors pardons don’t count for much, I guess…
His co-conspirators went to prison. He is the only one who got a pardon.
Chiselin’ Trump will pardon him. Bannon’s already started another fundraising effort to back a run for governor of New York by Chiselin’ Trump.
How much of a wall did they actually build with the $25 million?
He will be just fine, the Arian Brotherhood and other white supremacists gangs will embrace him and make him feel at home.
Governor trumpet pardons Bannon? What am I missing?
A million dollars worth of wall.
Trumpers have long used the same sort of grift made popular by white evangelical leaders. Use the money fundraised to furnish their lavish lifestyles instead of doing the promised work. Trump might go to jail for the same sort of shit.
Confirmed by NYT. The Queen has died.
Happily, I do not think those jerks have that gift.
Do you mean: that it is like Sydney Powell claiming no reasonable person should’ve believed my bullshit, so please let me off the hook?
Because after all scamming middle-class suckers out of their money is about as deeply rooted in American history and tradition as you can get. It’s time yet again (this is happening a lot lately) to tip our hats to the King and the Duke, from Huckleberry Finn.
