  1. This is what panic in DC looks like. This is how the Deep State distracts the public from THEIR misdeeds and abuses.

    I think this is another collusion distraction to make Trump look bad.

    False Flag op. It’s ALL about the election.

    The reason I’m thinking this is because Brian Kolfage doesn’t impress me as someone who would be a criminal. He’s an amputee veteran who the media tried to make into a criminal in the past because he’s BUILDING THE WALL independent of what congress wants. Bannon is just running circles around the swamp and that’s why they indicted him.

    This way the media has some red meat that will occupy the news cycles until November in order to perpetuate “orange man bad”.

  2. It a clear sign of capitulation that their convention is a complete fiasco. This is a desperate attempt to put something; anything in the news cycle other than the DNC convention.

  3. Have they built any portion of a wall? YES THEY DID!
    At this point, I don’t care if they took “as payment” 60% for themselves and spent 40% on the wall.
    THEY BUILT A WALL!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Thank you BRIAN KOLFAGE, STEPHEN BANNON, ANDREW BADOLATO, and TIMOTHY SHEA!
    I don’t have much money so didn’t donate a whole lot previously, and at this point in time I don’t care if they keep 70% and only spend 30% on the next section
    BECAUSE I TRUST THEM TO KEEP BUILDING MORE WALLS.
    Going over to http://www.webuildthewall.us after work and donate some more, HELL AT THIS POINT I DON’T CARE IF THEY KEEP 80% AND SPEND 20% ON BUILDING THE WALL.
    Praise God for men who will stand in the gap and BUILD THE WALL – Ezekiel 22:30

  4. This is NOT about the money aspect, SB has ‘more money than god’. Former Goldman Sachs and a co producer of the show ‘Friends’? Co-creator of Breitbart?

    Yeah, this is not about the ka-ching, this is about events leading up to an election…and / or he was too big a critic of the CCP and defender of Hong Kong.

  5. I know NY prosecutors are very concerned that conservative donors are being abused.

    The remedy for their fake concern is to abolish the organization than to punish any alleged malfeasance by an individual. So who has standing here? We want a wall while every liberal judge tries to block it at every turn.

  6. I have always liked Steve Bannon and have not trusted his distractors. He turned Trump’s campaign around and there is a reason he clashed with some of Trump’s advisors – – he knew they were snakes and out to sabotage the administration. Trump should have appointed him to be Chief of Staff.

  7. …gee, Democrat-supporting Feds going after a former campaign advior to President Trump at a politically sensitive time to try to discredit him and drive his poll numbers down so Democrats can remove him.

    Never seen THAT before…/s

    …they gonna put Muller on THIS one, TOO? It went pretty well for him the LAST time…/s

  8. Molon Labe (with apologies for not using the correct symbols) – let’s not forget that the liberals took advantage of the “erosion” issue, which was about 5 feet of river bank that shifted and had nothing to do with the actual Wall causing problems, and the libs further blew it all out of proportion for maximum effect, even taking President Trump’s (MILST) complete response out of context.
    Not intending this to be a correction or a slight (I love ya man!) but as a clarification that there is no animosity between President Trump (MILST) towards Bannon & Crew and We Build The Wall.

  9. I always see a great deal of hypocrisy when some government entity charges the administrators of some charity of fraud due to a too high percentage of the money donated goes to pay for the overhead cost. Such as salary to the administrators, their staff, and other office expenses. The government will charge them with fraud or put the charity on the “do not donate to” black list if the admin cost are to high. [Which I basically agree with].

    However, that same government waste more money on their overhead cost than the black listed charity does. Plus the government forces people to fund them via taxes. vs charities that rely on people voluntarily donating.

    I think only 25¢ out of every dollar budgeted to fund various welfare programs actually goes to the person needing help. The other 75¢/$1 is wasted on government admin cost. I believe the thumb rule for charities is that only 40¢/$1 donated or less [much less is better, some approach only 10%] should go to admin cost of the charity to be considered legitimate, and not be black listed. iow 60% or higher of donated money should go to benefit the subject of the charity. Yet the government waste 75% or more on admin overhead cost. [my guess is saying black listed is considered racist now days, it isn’t]

    Anyway, Bannon & co. may be guilty as charged. Or may be not. This might be democrat campaign strategy designed to generate many news reports with the words – Bannon arrested fraud and President Trump – in every report of the story. As election day approaches.

  10. Not assigning blame or making a judgment call, but I find it odd that the only story Breitbart has about this is a story from the AP.
    Don’t Bannon and Breitbart talk? I know Bannon was released but I didn’t read that at Breitbart. What gives?

  11. From JTN:

    “The president briefly addressed his former advisor’s arrest during a meeting with the Iraqi prime minister at the White House this morning. “I feel very badly. I haven’t been dealing with him for a very long period of time. Haven’t been dealing with him at all. Don’t know anything about the project at all. It’s a very sad thing by Mr. Bannon. I don’t like that project. I thought it was being done for showboating reasons. It was something I very much thought was inappropriate to be doing,” said POTUS, referring to the Build The Wall crowdfunding campaign. ”

    Trump was pissed because they didn’t wait for him and undercut his plan.
    I think I would be pissed, too. But other than that, until I hear different, this is just some NY+DOJ bullshit.

  12. I think this was a way to cover-up what they did to Trump for the past three and a half year’s, their crappy convention, Trump’s upswing in poll numbers or any other number of examples. I bet Hillary was involved with this indictment somehow, we shall see. 🤔

  13. @Menotu ~ I’m not saying the timing of this might not be suspect (if it’s supposed to hurt PDT I would’ve held it until mid October for max effect; not interfere w/ Barky O’s latest ‘greatest speech ever’), or that PDT & Bannon are still best buds ever. I’m jus pointing out that PDT didn’t particularly agree w/ what Bannon’s crew was doing w/ their wall …. Kolfage has been suspected of having his hand in the cookie jar before.
    … & I’m not laying any guilt on anyone either. this is a political persecution, without a doubt. something the commucrats are very, very good at doing

  14. Well, I got home and went to https://webuildthewall.us/ but the Donate page doesn’t work. Maybe SDNY shut it down? Went to Buy a Brick, no worky either. I’ll continue to look to donate because I’m more than happy to testify in court if necessary that I’m okay with the leaders getting an 80/20 split; I have gotten more than my moneys worth: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=2&v=ZnIP0u6TIc0&feature=emb_logo {Damn! That is a fine looking wall}.
