Manhattan federal prosecutors dropped a bombshell indictment on Thursday morning alleging that “We Build The Wall,” a grassroots campaign that aimed to privately fund President Donald Trump’s wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, was a scam orchestrated by former Trump campaign chairman Stephen Bannon and group founder Brian Kolfage.
I know a con when I see one…
Lock them up!
O/T
Russian opposition figure Alexei Navalny is unconscious in hospital suffering from suspected poisoning, his spokeswoman has said.
The anti-corruption campaigner fell ill during a flight and the plane made an emergency landing in Omsk, Kira Yarmysh said, adding that they suspected something had been mixed into his tea.
If these assholes were as efficient as the original Nazis we’d all be dead by now.
Is T-Rump doing the briefing today?
I sure hope someone asks him about it
Surprise surprise
Let’s see: Manafort, Gates, Flynn, Cohen, Papadopoulos, Pinedo, van der Zwann, Stone and now Bannon. Sense a trend here? It might be easier to list the Trump associates that have not been found guilty.
Since Barr tried to get rid of Geoffrey Berman, and shove Valerie Strauss aside, she has indicted Ghislaine Maxwell, whom Trump has since “wished well” a few hundred times, and now, Steve Bannon.
Ms. Strauss, I hope and expect you have people working on Barr’s conspiracy to corrupt the investigations into these two malefactors. The nation looks forward eagerly to further arrests.
It may be time to stop drinking tea. Or walking by windows. Or touching your doorknob. Or… The shear terror of opposing Putin is horrible and people who do are so brave. it is beyond being afraid of arrest.
I can see it now; the wrangling for a pardon. Bannon has a lot of info to spill. Rump knows it and is easily manipulated.
Just a reminder that Veterans with triple amputations are as capable of corruption as any other schmo.
Very legal and very cool.
Where’s the perp walk? I want to see the perp walk. As repeating GIF.
“We Build the Wall”? Nope. “We Scam You All”!
And, like clockwork,
Wait it's sad? Wait he doesnt know the other people? Wait, I dont remember him ever saying he didn't like the private fund the wall shit. There was a tweet

He says “I feel really badly…” which, technically, is correct, since his inability to empathize is one of his most dominant characteristics. Not to go all English teacher on you, but that adverb doesn’t do what he thinks it does.
It is beginning to look as if Trump’s version of the Republican Party has become a haven for every grifter in the country(!).
It really is becoming difficult to believe the amount of chickensh*t corruption that these guys do or how widespread it is. It looks as if a prerequisite for being in this government is that you have to be some sort of incompetent, grifter, fascist, or true believer, or combination.
Jeez, I sure hope that we can be done with this guy in November.
If I may, allow me to append the word “yet” to your sentence.
The corruption in Trump’s regime looks to be so widespread, I’m beginning to wonder if there is anyone in an appointive office who isn’t scamming something is some way or another. Corruption seems to be a job qualification for these folks. It’s getting to the point where it is impossible to be too cynical in relation to Trump’s government.
raised at least $25 million
For years now, Trump and his criminal enterprise has robbed the entire Republican Party.
"The former managing editor of Breitbart News and a senior Trump advisor, Steve Bannon, was arrested by Post Office police, on a boat off the coast of Connecticut where he had been hiding out for weeks telling people he was “at sea,” and indicted for stealing from an alleged scam to build a wall around America run by a triple-amputee former Airman who reportedly used money from the fund to buy a boat of his own that he named “Warfighter” and sailed in a Trump Boat Parade in Destin Florida, and whose advisory board included Bannon, former Secretary of Kansas and Trump Voter Fraud Committee Chairman Kris Kobach, failed presidential candidate and professional bigoted xenophobe Tom Tancredo, and Cowboy Sheriff Parody David Clarke, an enterprise that was proudly endorsed by the President’s own son, Biff Jr., who ironically praised the effort as "private enterprise at its finest” in describing a barrier that his own father repeatedly promised Mexico would pay for, and when portions of this private wall began to fail and were in danger of falling over, the President proclaimed via tweet: “I disagreed with doing this very small (tiny) section of wall. It was only done to make me look bad, and perhsps [sic] it now doesn’t even work. Should have been built like rest of Wall, 500 plus miles!”
Now, if you wrote this scene in a novel manuscript and actually turned it into a publisher, your editor would have you dragged from her office by security and beaten with golf clubs in the alley behind the building."
