In a news release, prosecutors said Bannon and another organizer of the campaign, Air Force veteran Brian Kol***e, claimed that they would not take any compensation as part of the campaign, called “We Build The Wall,” but that was a lie. Bannon, prosecutors alleged, received more than $1 million through a non-profit he controlled, and Kol***e received more than $350,000.
lol for the board censor to block out Kol***e

conservatism nowadays is one big con
but liberals are catching up fast in this regard...everyone fundraises off outrage...i bet the folks at Lincoln Project are doing pretty well in terms of personal financial benefit

Wonder if SDNY informed Barr of the case against Bannon.
They apparently avoided using the FBI in the course of the investigation.

There is definitely truth in that. It's far more lucrative to be the opposition party. Sure you cant just pocket donations but your campaign can hire your friends and family and use the services of their buisnesses.
The Lincoln project made a very stable genius move and ran an ad in DC to trigger President Snowflake to rage tweet about them. Suddenly they were swimming in donations.

expecting very poorly chosen one to claim Bannon is some homeless guy he never knew
"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."

Why does Bannon get arrested for this but Trump never got arrested for Trump University or any of his other scams?
Normally I would say that this was such an obvious scam that no reasonable person would fall for but apparently if they just never said they were not receiving any financial benefit from the donations was the part that got them in trouble. I would be shocked if a dime actually went to building the wall.

We interrupt this coverage of the President's advisor being arrested for fraud to tell you that the President lost his bid to keep his tax returns from being used in a Grand Jury by the DA in New York for allegedly committing tax and insurance fraud . Another banner day for the Trumpster.

"We Build The Wall" raised over $25 million.
Follow the money.

Arrested by USPS agents

The best way to stop a bad guy with a gun is to make sure he doesn’t get a gun.
Watching backwards we see, the recent debacle of ripping apart the Post Office and a few weeks back the firing of the SDNY US Attorney .
It was assumed that firing was over the Maxwell woman ---
//////////////////
If memory serves my concern 4 years ago was temperament
t was noted above ?? that Trump lost another appeal to open his tax returns

Mmmhmmm. And in May 2019, it was reported Trump was personally
intervening in a border wall contract to award it to the same
contractor involved in this case.

Kris Kobach in a January 2019 interview connected the
border wall fundraising scheme to Trump: "I talked with the president,
and the 'We Build the Wall Effort’' came up. The president said
'the project has my blessing, and you can tell the media that.'"

And the single most delicious tidbit is that Steve Bannon et. al.
got themselves busted by...wait for it...the U.S. Postal
Service police. Well played, Irony. Well played.

Well atleast the Teflon Don will have some familiar company when he goes to prison. Would be a shame if someone grabbed him by the pussy.
