Your article seems to confirm it was the Democrats at SDNY. And it involves that vet was the trying to build the wall, too. More targeted political prosecutions out of the “Trump” DOJ.

The SDNY is a very large office with hundreds of prosecutors of which some will be closet Democrats of those that have been accidentally overlooked by the Attorney General and Trump.

Once Attorney General Barr hears about Bannon’s arrest, the charges will be dropped and the rouge(sic) prosecutor will be fired and disbarred.

I said for a while that the build the wall fund was a scam and wouldn’t result in anything substantial but people wanted to believe that we could throw a buck on the pile to build the wall.

This thread is a perfect example of why FR comes across as an echo chamber full of really stupid people. It’s equivalent to flat earthers, 6000 year creationists and people who claim masks are of the devil.

If you’ve already posted anything along the lines of “psh, it’s SDNY, I donated, not real, fake news” and these charges are actually legitimate … yup. Thanks for playing.

Husband and wife scam: Prosecutors say Brian Kolfage funneled cash to himself
to pay for boat payments, cosmetic surgery and tax and credit card debt, with his
wife Ashley, 34, getting cash which was concealed too. She is not indicted

(Ashley, BTW, says she didn’t get a cent of the grift and owes her present secure financial status to her days as a waitress at Chili’s)

Reached by phone, Ashley defended her husband, who is due in Florida federal court Thursday afternoon, and said she made her own money.

“I don’t think he did anything wrong,” she told The Post.

“I’ll let him speak on his behalf, but I make my own money with all the stuff that I do,” she added. “I have not spent a penny of his money on all of that.”

And since someone in Freeperville posted that last pic of her…..

Bannon is no friend to Trump. You have a short memory?  

Makes no difference. Bannon’s name is tied to Trump.

Bannon is a creep and a crook – anyone should be able to see that.Is the timing suspect? SURE! But this is yet another “personnel” mistake Trump made. He should not have been within 100 miles of this guy. Add his name to a long list.

I disagreed with doing this very small (tiny) section of wall, in a tricky area, by a private group which raised money by ads. It was only done to make me look bad, and perhsps it now doesn’t even work. Should have been built like rest of Wall, 500 plus miles. https://t.co/L8RUPCAhqc— Donald J.

Judge throws out Trump challenge to Manhattan DA subpoena for tax recordsCNBC ^ | 8/20/2020 | Tucker Higgins Posted on 8/20/2020, 10:29:40 AM by EBH

U.S. District Judge Victor Marrero said the president failed to show that the subpoena would pose an unfair burden, siding in favor of Manhattan D.A. Cyrus Vance Jr., who has said his office is pursuing an investigation of potential violations of state law. Trump is likely to appeal the decision to a higher court.

The president’s attorney, Jay Sekulow, said Trump will appeal the decision. It is unlikely that any records obtained via subpoena by Vance’s office will become public before the presidential election this fall, if at all…

… More clues emerged in a filing earlier in August, in which Vance suggested he could also be pursuing an inquiry into potential bank and insurance fraud. Vance’s office declined to comment on Thursday’s ruling.

Alexei Navalny, top Putin foe, allegedly poisoned and hospitalized in a coma Fox News ^ | August 20, 2020 | Edmund DeMarche Posted on 8/20/2020, 10:59:50 AM by rdl6989

Alexei Navalny, the man seen as one of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s top critics in the country, was allegedly poisoned during a flight from Siberia to Moscow and has since been hospitalized.

The 44-year-old is said to be in a coma and on a ventilator in a hospital intensive care unit after falling ill on a flight back to Moscow from Tomsk, a city in Siberia.

Putin’s enemies seem to have lots of ailments.
