It's possible Bannan is a crook. On the other hand, funny how everyone who worked for Trump 2016 campaign in a prominent role - other than Kellyann Conway and Corey Lewandowski so far - ends up getting targeted for prosecution for something unrelated to their work for Trump. Manafort, Stone, Bannan. Feels like a message being sent.
Note that nobody who worked for Hillary faces charges for anything, and there were real crimes there that Comey even admitted and then hand waved away as no biggie.

Oh no. Awful, if true. I suspect we will be hearing about the Clinton Foundation very soon.

These problems are avoidable. What is needed is basic honesty and communication. The donees need only publish a detailed statement of how funds will be spent and an audited, ongoing account of how funds are being spent. Its not rocket science.

Bannon “received over $1m from We Build the Wall, at least some of which Bannon used to cover hundreds of thousands of dollars in [his] personal expenses”That's a lotta booze. He certainly didn't spend it on his personal appearance. (if this is all true) The left has many many non-profits but I guess they're all squeaky clean? Justice for all my ass.

Isnt this the group who built a wall over the mountains that the feds said couldnt be built. It was halted because of some local judge.

There are TEN things you need to keep in mind before jumping to any conclusions:
- The charges were contained in an indictment unsealed in Manhattan federal court.

The Democrats are playing for keeps and to win. The Republicans are on their knees pleading,"Let me go and take the other guy." and they will let them go until they take the other guy. Then it is their turn again.
We have created ourselves a legal system by electing Democrat after Democrat that is more corrupt and cruel than the Stalin Era NKVD which Hannidity's god the FBI whom he performs fellatio on its members daily if not hourly.

I simply do not trust the DOJ/Deep State not to be corrupt and bringing a politically motivated case here. They’ve been caught being crooked too many times.

Note that this was brought by SDNY, which has been relentless in trying to find issues with all things Trump.

This is probably patterned after the NRA model investigation in New York. The idea really is to strip the tax deductibility of donations to the organizations.

Wake me up when Hillary, her brother, Chelsea, Bill, and DeBlasio’s wife get arrested with those same charges. I’m not going to believe Bannon’s charges for now; the others I mentioned, I KNOW are guilty.
To: SeekAndFind
Don’t they know that only Dems like the Clintons and Obamas get away with this stuff?

Philip Bartlett, inspector in charge, said: As alleged, not only did they lie to donors, they schemed to hide their misappropriation of funds by creating sham invoices and accounts to launder donations
Translation: We did not get our cut.

From an earlier article from the NYSlimes in re to the acting AG in NY.
Ms. Strausss husband, John Rusty Wing, a prominent white-collar defense lawyer, is a registered Republican, according to the most recent records from the New York State Board of Elections. Their son, who previously worked as Gov. Andrew M. Cuomos press secretary, is married to a senior aide to Mr. Cuomo.
Campaign finance records show that Ms. Strauss is a longtime donor to Democratic candidates, including Hillary Clintons presidential campaign in 2007 and Barack Obamas re-election campaign in 2012. She contributed in 2006 to Joe Bidens presidential campaign.
Ms. Strauss and her husband have donated to several nonprofit organizations, including after-school programs for underprivileged teenagers and a housing provider for homeless families.
She also has served on the board of the Legal Aid Society, which represents poor defendants, and of the Innocence Project, a group that works to free wrongfully convicted prisoners.
