Former Trump advisor Steve Bannon arrested on charges of defrauding donors in fundraising scheme

Another "I can't win the debate on whether or not to have a legal, orderly immigration policy, ergo you're racist."

Genius.

 

And the millions of dollars trump stoled from taxpayers?? O ya you dont care you gotta have a job to be able to pay taxes....

 

Only you alternate reality that you live in

 

Memes are great. Why think for ones self when it has already been done for you!

 

Maybe you an I can agree on something, in hopes that we, as Americans, can get our country back from the crooks...
If Trump belongs in jail, does Hillary also deserve the same level of scrutiny? How about Biden and his crackhead son Biden?
Look, if Bannon did what the indictment says he did, then he is a #$@! and belongs in jail. I'm HAPPY to say that.

Do you think that members of Congress - on both sides - enrich themselves at the expense of Americans?

I'll even go a step further and throw McConnell and Grahamnesty under the bus as criminal lying crooks.

 

Another Trump associate indicted. It's only a matter of time before the rest of the country realizes Trump himself is a felon. Imagine if Obama's high school teacher got arrested for stealing a candy bar. The right would be going nuts and demand a thorough investigation.

 

Sorry to interrupt the "My thief is better than your thief" discussion, but wouldn't it be wise for both parties to work together to reduce government? Neither side can claim to oppose theft.

 

"Some outlets bury it, some still stand by it"

Like 9/11 being an Inside Job, Sandy Hook was Faked, and Pizzagate?

Got it.

"Facts are facts".

Sure thing.

Anyway, none of those Completely DEBUNKED FAKE BS "Narratives" has anything to do with Bannon.

in general terms, and certainly not singling anyone out (personally). But, in general terms, the use of the "Talking point" of off-topic "Whataboutism" isn't a good look to start with.

Even less so, when the Whataboutism is based on a DEBUNKED Conspiracy Theory.

Now back to the actual topic of Bannon, I would be really surprised if he could wriggle his way out of this.

 

There are some undisputed facts.

Nine foreign investors in the Uranium One deal donated around $145,000,000 to the Clinton Foundation.
The Clinton Foundation received $2.35 million in donations from Ian Telfer, a mining investor who was also the chairman of Uranium One when Rosatom acquired it. It also received $31.3 million and a pledge for $100 million more from Frank Giustra, the Canadian mining financier whose company merged with Uranium One. (That's from the NYT, btw).
Bill got a $500,000 speaking fee for a speech in Russia, paid by a Russian bank - in the same month the Uranium One deal was closed.

 

Red herrings - a logical fallacy. I never said anything about any of that. So that point fails for you.

See my post above. If Bannon did what is in the indictment, then he belongs in jail. And the money they raised, to the extent it wasn't spent on actually building wall, should be returned or re-donated to an organization that will build the wall.

 

This wall?



They will need every dime they can get. What a scam! Is it any wonder Mexico refuses to pay for it?

 

Sure. Keeping the riff-raff out is a good thing. Then, we can examine individual immigrants on their own merit. Look, I live next to a predominantly Hispanic community. I eat at their restaurants an have had them do really great work - ranging from sand blasting and metal work to building custom cabinets. I've had discussions with many of them after getting to know them and they don't want illegal immigration, either, since they came here legally and did the work to get here, and put up with the taxes, rules, and regulations of operating their businesses. My favorite taqueria even has a burrito named after George Bush, lol. They're yuge Trump fans.

 

Here are the FACTS:

That "Uranium One/Clinton Talking Point" has been buried so many times that it is looking for another cemetery plot.

One either accepts Facts of they don't.

In any event, everybody knows that it is a waste of time (and keystrokes) trying to engage someone who won't accept Proven FACTS.

Internet 101.



PS--Since you are relatively new here, I would like to make the friendly suggestion that you are always free to start a separate thread (in another section of the forum--http://www.politicalforum.com/index.php?forums/conspiracy-theories.63/).

But, since the topic of this thread is Steve Bannon, I believe that most would agree that hijacking the thread further would only serve to be counter-productive (in moving the discussion back on topic)

So, back on topic, Bannon is claiming a "political hit job":

You didn't post any facts. And since you didn't, I didn't click on any of the links. Make some bullet points debunking the specific facts I laid out. The cite them.

 

No kidding.

Does anybody remember Trump"s Ludicrous Claim"s about "Trump's Wall" during the 2016 Campaign Rallies?

Based on Trump"s Delusions, I thought it would ALREADY be rivaling the Great Wall of China.

NOW (4 Years Later) instead of Trump"s Wall we have TRUMP'S VIRUS.

As far as Bannon, Kolfage, and the Others who scammed (and ripped off) these donors?

Everybody SAW this sort of Mismanagement (and Grift) coming.

Everybody knew that this wouldn't end well.

Once again, I am shocked that anyone donated (even a penny) to this "cause".

 

Excellent! Voting for anyone but Donnie T shows that you love your country more than you political party.

 

I there anyone connected to the Trump crime family that is not filthy dirty?

 

Manafort worked for the Clintons, too, lol.

 

So which "cop" leads the SDNY?

 

That is the claim yes. Clap Clap.

 

The USA does not need a wall as we are now oficially a diseased s**t-hole country with massive unemployment and banned from entering other countries and who the hell wants to come here now? Trump built a Covid 19 wall.

 

I see it as Trump saying that building parts of the wall by a private group puts him down since he claimed that he will build it. You know as if they said "you did not follow it so we did."

 

That's all well and good. But two things: First, being Steve Bannon, you should know that you are wearing a target. And last but most importantly, stealing is wrong, if that's what he did.

 

Erik Prince and other Trumpers are on the board for Build the Wall too. That guy Prince seems to keep associating with sketchy people like a magnet.
