Unbelievable and sickening.

It sure doesn’t seem like the DOJ has any issues with slapping indictments down on people in the Trump orbit.

Pretty telling that Bannon leads the breaking news when the Head of the DEA is also part of the indictment

Govt has been working on this case since October 2019

I dont understand why you would make promises to donors you have no intention to keep.

Just state that 30% of the funds will go to admin costs and overhead, and 70% to construction.

Or whatever ratio.

This is what I was wondering at first but I'm not sure it's him. The guy who was indicted may be a little younger. Haven't seen anyone in the media flag it yet so probably not him.

hhmmm, they raise $25M+ and spend $1.3M on 4 people to run the thing? That is damn efficient use of funds for any non-profit. Then the SDNY drops the indictment on that last day of the DNC convention, so they can hype it against Trump? This stinks to high heaven. Obvious politically motivated timing. You would have to be an idiot not to suspect that SDNY is not playing politics

Ahh I see

Seems like that would be a bigger story than Steve Bannon unless this is all political motivated

If Bannon and his baws broke the law with prior knowledge and intent they need to be held accountable. See how this works Dims?

It isn't. Timothy J. Shea, the head of the DEA, is from Massachusetts. The Timothy Shea in the indictment is from Colorado, and seems to be only a decade younger.

How is it the Clinton Foundation operates for years as an influence pedaling slush-fund but Bannon co-mingles some expenses and gets stitched up....the guy who was the architect of Tump's 2016 victory and just 60 days before re-election????

fricking bullshite

I have been on non-profit boards for 20 years and I don't see how spending 5% on the executives and their expenses is out of line. That is a total of $337,000 per executive, including expenses for the past several years. How do you run a non-profit like this one and not spend any money? That would be virtually impossible. This indictment is more than a little bit fishy.
