Only the best

So steve bannon did the perp walk today, arrested for allegedly defrauding investors in a crowdsourced fundraiser to build the border wall (the one trump said mexico would pay for). This is a federal case and I find it telling that barr did not or could not quash it.

This is yet another incident of one of trump’s only the best charged with a crime. We’ll start with the felons, umm, I believe they’re all felons. Bigly sad.

Here they are:

Bannon - charged with felony fraud.

Cohen - “pleaded guilty in 2018 to tax fraud, lying to Congress and campaign finance violations for facilitating hush money payments to two women who alleged past affairs with the President. Trump has denied having affairs with the women.”

Manafort - “serving a 7.5-year sentence after being convicted by a jury of tax and banking crimes in August 2018, then pleaded guilty to conspiracy and obstruction of justice.”

Gates - “sentenced to 45 days in jail and three years' probation in 2019 after admitting to helping Manafort conceal $75 million in foreign bank accounts from their years of Ukraine lobbying work.”

Stone - “convicted last year of seven charges -- including lying to Congress, witness tampering and obstructing a congressional committee proceeding -- as part of Mueller's Russia investigation. Among the things he misled Congress about were his communications with Trump campaign officials -- communications that prosecutors said Stone hid out of his desire to protect Trump.”

Flynn - “pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about his talks with the then-Russian ambassador about approaches that would undermine Obama administration policy before Trump took office.”

Papadopoulos - “served 12 days in prison for lying to investigators about his contact with individuals tied to Russia during the 2016 campaign.“

Nader - “sentenced to 10 years in prison by a federal judge in Virginia stemming from his convictions on child sex charges.“
