Kris Kobach, the group’s general counsel, even met with Mark Morgan, then the acting commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection, in August 2019,

That November, then-Acting DHS Secretary Chad Wolf and Border Patrol El Paso Sector Chief Gloria Chavez discussed We Build The Wall at a press conference.

“Acting” this and that is a theme here. Everyone’s acting while doing nothing.

From the article:

[“We Build the Wall’s leadership — except for Steve Bannon, who received a last-minute presidential pardon from Donald Trump”] (emphasis added)

(All of Trump’s minions feel invincible, but only a select group got pardons)

While I am grateful for the in depth legal education I have received by osmosis over the past several years…it is unnerving to understand that white coller crime is lucrative and virtually risk free…look at the stats for verification…

Give this guy credit, at least, for figuring out how to monetize his war injuries.

I guess that makes him the anti-Tammy Duckworth. Undoubtedly, Kolfage would argue that Duckworth, who was born in Thailand, is not a legitimate US citizen and should never have been allowed to enter the country.

When Steve Bannon is talking about congresswoman Stefanik’s “journey” to full MAGA land he sounds like a Svengali pulling someone into their cult.
Also why is a congresswoman even talking to someone who was under indictment for the “We build the wall” scheme which ripped off many unsuspecting people. Though as they say “a fool and his money are soon parted”.

Steve Bannon can be brought in as a witness, since his pardon eliminates any 5th Amendment defense. If he refuses to answer questions or lies, these are new crimes. (Obstruction and perjury) Indict and imprison him.

Should have pushed harder for that pardon, Mr. Kolfage. Good luck in your future endeavors!

he had hundreds of thousands of dollars pouring into a personal bank account from the GoFundMe-powered border wall project

That “hundreds of thousands of dollars” was not taxable income, it was a gift from true patriots who were grateful that Kolfage was spending all that time and effort to keep the country safe from marauding caravans of rapists, drug dealers, criminals and gang members.

As long as his trophy wife is hanging at his side, he still has a chance. When she leaves him, you’ll know it’s over.
I know it’s a Daily Mail article, but it does have so many photos of both of them and their toys.

Above a certain level, “gifts” are taxable income. Even when they come from freedom-loving true patriots. :wink:
