Federal prosecutors are close to filing charges against GOP fundraiser Elliott Broidy over his role in a foreign influence campaign, the Washington Post reported on Tuesday.
“Federal postal inspectors arrested former Trump campaign chairman Steve Bannon aboard Guo’s yacht last month.” Gotta love it that one Trump grifter was hanging with Guo even as other Trump grifters tried to knife him in the back.
The Trump administration makes a pack of jackals look like a church choir. So many loose criminal threads hanging around–maybe Broidy will flip on someone, who’ll flip on someone…etc. Still hoping that pulling on this one may bring down the whole stinking rotten edifice.
I’m disapponted that this connection wasn’t pursued further by the TPM reporters. What are the chances that Broidy and Bannon are both connected to this billionaire (though in much different ways)? Remember, Broidy was also represented by Michael Cohen in a Playmate-silencing payoff. There are deep Trump connections all around.
This does not smell like a coincidence. It’s the stuff of novels.
So, let me get this straight. The guy that hired Cohen to make a mistress’s inconvenient pregnancy “go away” and was one of three, including Cohen at the time, in charge of the RNC finances, has pissed a guy off by representing the Chinese government, who also happened (Guo) to be in bed financially with Steve Bannon.
It’s so completely ridiculous, if you saw this in a movie, you’d think, “God, what a shitty writer.”
