Steve Bannon, President Trump's former political adviser, has been indicted alongside three other people in connection with an online fundraising scheme that federal prosecutors in New York said was responsible for defrauding hundreds of thousands of people.

Bannon, Andrew Badolato, Timothy Shea and Brian Kolfage are alleged to have orchestrated a scheme around an online crowdfunding campaign called "We Build the Wall," which raised over $25 million. The campaign was advertised as an effort to build a wall on the U.S. border with Mexico.

"As alleged, the defendants defrauded hundreds of thousands of donors, capitalizing on their interest in funding a border wall to raise millions of dollars, under the false pretense that all of that money would be spent on construction," said Audrey Strauss, the acting U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York.

Typical... Trumps circle of criminal friends should tell you a LOT.

Does it say "Trump's wall" in the indictment, or did you just add that to cast doubt on the legality of the wall itself?

Whose failed wall is it?

Turds of a feather...

Just another"very good person" from Trump's adminstration going to jail.

And right wingers still think he's draining the swamp instead of filling it.

To be fair, he'd save any turd, not just Cheeto's.

He follows the strictures of the ATM movement - "All Turds Matter."

Bannon does not hold public office.

 

[BoyNextDoor]

Bannon does not hold public office.

You think the Swamp is defined by public office holders?

 

[Adre]

Bannon does not hold public office.

Has he been in the White House? Come to think of it, how many indicted or convicted criminals have now been inside the Oval Office since Trump took up residence?

Eh, I don't think much of Vetteman, but I don't think he's a meth addict.

Just another"very good person" from Trump's adminstration going to jail.

Grift recognize grift.

I can hear it now; "Steve Bannon? Whose that? I hardly knew the guy. But I'm sure he's been treated very unfairly. I'm going to be looking into it very strongly, and I wish him well."

 

[adrina]

I'm shocked. Just amazed. I would have never seen this coming. How completely out of character for Trump's cronies.

 

[HisArpy]

And yet another hyperactive LIE by the Left.


Bannon has been arrested pursuant to an indictment over a GOFUNDME account that purported to raise funds for a PRIVATE SECTION of the border wall.

It has NOTHING to do with the government project. Thus, it has NOTHING to do with "Trump's wall" as you put it.

You saying such is a bald faced lie.

 

[Trumpedo]

Rapey to the rescue! Lol

Hey someone has to carry that water.

 

[MartinHeidegger]

Apparently, the indictment is "a very sad thing for Mr. Bannon."

 

[Dribble]

In less than 4 years...more indictments than any other Administration. That is something you can be proud of if you are a Republican.

Sorry, Harpy. When he started raising money the GoFundMe account was to be turned over to the government, and then it was supposed to be refunded, until Bannon got involved that is.

Kolfage lost both legs and his right arm while serving with Air Force security forces in Iraq in 2004. He began a GoFundMe campaign in December 2018 to raise $1 billion, which he originally intended to give to the government so it could build the border wall.
But in February 2019, Kolfage announced that the donations would instead go to a non-profit organization that would build the wall itself, prompting GoFundMe to offer refunds to his contributors.
Kolfage then tried to do an end-run around GoFundMe by urging the contributors who had already sent money to transfer their donations to the new non-profit organization, We Build The Wall Inc.
As of May 2019, $14 million on donations was transferred to the non-profit group and $6 million was refunded, a GoFundMe spokesman told Task & Purpose at the time.

Hey someone has to carry that water.

So now you're supporting one of Lit's trolls whose only purpose is to come here and defame other people and make accusations of illegal behavior and/or being a sexual predator? And, because you don't like Trump that makes it okay?


Yeah, what a piece of shit you turned out to be.
