Broken down, ailing New York where killers, rapists, looters run free has made it their mission to persecute Trump and his supporters.
The timing of this, right before the convention, is no accident.
Sounds like a shakedown to me. They’ll pull another Flynn…..

Former Trump Campaign Boss Steve Bannon Indicted for Fraud in NY
Prosecutors allege Bannon used money raised from supporters of a border wall to fund his personal expenses
NBC NY August 20, 2020.
What to Know
- Former Trump campaign CEO and White House chief strategist Steve Bannon is among four people indicted for fraud in New York
- Federal prosecutors allege key figures behind the “We Build the Wall” campaign misused donations for personal expenses
- The campaign started as a GoFundMe in 2018 and raised $25 million from hundreds of thousands of donors
Former Trump campaign CEO and White House chief strategist Steve Bannon was indicted in New York on fraud charges related to a fundraising campaign to build a border wall, federal prosecutors said.
Bannon is among four people indicted for allegedly defrauding hundreds of thousands of donors to the online “We Build the Wall” campaign.
Manhattan federal prosecutors allege that Bannon, campaign leader Brian Kolfage, Andrew Badolato and Timothy Shea “received hundreds of thousands of dollars in donor funds from We Build the Wall, which they each used in a manner inconsistent with the organization’s public representations.”
“We Build the Wall” began as a GoFundMe campaign in late 2018, designed to raise money directly from the public to build a border wall in the face of Congressional opposition.
While Kolfage publicly guaranteed that he would not take salary or compensation, and that 100 percent of funds raised would go toward the wall, the indictment alleges he actually took more than $350,000 for personal use and took steps to conceal it.
According to the indictment, a non-profit controlled by Bannon received $1 million of the money, some of which went to cover various of his personal expenses.
After finding out last October that their fundraising campaign might be under federal investigation, the defendants took steps to hide their activity even further, including the use of encrypted messaging, the indictment says.
Bannon is expected to be presented in federal court in New York later Thursday.
The four defendants each face one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering, each of which carries up to 20 years in prison.
Bannon becomes the second Trump 2016 campaign manager to face criminal charges. Paul Manafort was convicted of unrelated fraud charges in 2018.

Two supporters of Hillary Clinton’s 2008 presidential campaign reportedly shared the claim that then-rival Barack Obama was not born in the United States and thus was not eligible to be president.
One was a volunteer in Iowa, who was fired, Clinton’s former campaign manager said Friday. The other was Clinton confidant Sidney Blumenthal, according to a former McClatchy Washington Bureau chief.

Go down the rabbit hole and don’t be scared to investigate. Can you dig into Obama’s real past or you don’t have the guts? Obama’s mother is from Kansas.
Obama’s Topeka, Ks family are speaking loud and clear so why not investigate his past and his real name Barry Parks?

That’s not even the worst thing they did in Haiti – what about Laura Silsby who tried to smuggle 33 so-called orphans from Haiti to the US. No doubt to end up on St James. She was stopped at the border (thank God for honest border officials), it later turned out that these were not in fact orphans. So Laura lied – now if their intentions were good, why lie? The Clintons financed her, and did everything in their power to get a reduced sentence. Eventually Laura was released from prison for child trafficking, got married, changed her last name, and ended up as head of Amber Alert.

I have no way of knowing for sure but I would bet this is another thing that has little merit but will be blown up by the fake media to no end.
Did anyone hear what their ideas are at the democom convention? They actually are proposing tearing down the border wall, free health care for illegals, many other things too numerous to mention that a 12 year old child would understand is insanity. It is all madness and will destroy the country completely. What has happened to the country that any sane person would vote for “Stinkfinger Joe”? Much of the public actually believes the fake news lies. The problem is most people don’t pay enough attention to things. After all, who would think there are people actively working to destroy everything normal people hold dear?

All in the presentation – people are too stupid or pre-occupied – or combinations of both to give it any real oversight – sooo they go with their emotions which is what the rats play too – after all when was the last time you saw any critical thinking being taught in todays average public schools?

Imagine being indicted by,,,, THE POST OFFICE of all things, especially now, when the blue states plan on forcing people to vote by mail, and the postal workers union endorsed Biden. The dems internal polling data must really be lousy.

What to know: The prosecutor are protected by the “Doctrine of Sovereign immunity” They can withhold exculpatory evidence in order to get a conviction, they can pay witnesses to provide false testimony. The prosecutors are not accountable and are running a witch hunt.
The democrats know they will lose the election and are trying to destroy Trump Loyalists from being used in the next four years.

“Looking back, is there anything you could have done to get the kind of coverage that Kamala Harris is getting now?” Carlson asked. “Like you care about equality deep within your soul, that you’re a rockstar, a celebrity, you’re the Dalai Lama reincarnated. Could you have done anything to get that kind of coverage?”
Speaking carefully, Palin replied, “I would not have prostituted myself

Bannon or all of them must be over the target, since they come up with this know.
SDNY is also the last bastion of dems in DOJ. I’d thought they where buisy with suicide Maxwell, cover epstein/clinton pics and do nothing about riots in NY.

I wonder if this was the reason he left the White House.
