Orange Shitstain is pictured meeting We Build The Wall chief last summer as the president* insists he knew nothing about the crowdfunding 'scam'

We Build The Wall CFO Amanda Shea posted a photo with Trump on Instagram in the Hamptons in August 2019

In the caption Shea gushed about how much interest the president had shown in her group's efforts to use crowd funding to build barriers at the Mexico border

The photo resurfaced after WBTW leader Brian Kolfage and former top Trump aide Steve Bannon were arrested over the campaign prosecutors say was a scam

Shea's husband Timothy Shea was also arrested in connection with the scheme

Prosecutors say Timothy Shea helped orchestrate the fraud by setting up shell corporations to funnel $350,000 in donations to Kolfage

Trump has insisted that he never knew anything about the project - despite its ties to members of his inner circle

Hey, Trumpkins, see any irony here?

White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany said Trump had “no involvement in this project” and pointed to a tweet he issued last month in response to a ProPublica report about a privately funded section of wall, saying: “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 perhaps it now doesn’t even work.”

“President* Trump has always felt the Wall must be a government project and that it is far too big and complex to be handled privately,” McEnany said in a statement.

Far too big and complex to be handled privately. Huh. You Trumpkins applaud the Orange Shitstain for dismantling government and handing its services over to private industry...

Who is Guo Wengui, the Chinese billionaire who owns the boat Steve Bannon was arrested on?
Multiple people familiar with the matter told NBC News there is a separate federal inquiry involving a company linked to both men, GTV Media Group.

Multiple people familiar with the matter tell NBC News there is a separate federal inquiry involving a company linked to both men, GTV Media Group. As The Wall Street Journal first reported Wednesday, the FBI, the New York state attorney general and the Securities and Exchange Commission are examining whether securities laws were violated during a $300 million private offering by the company this spring, the sources say. In a memo to potential investors, according to The Journal, the company identified Bannon as one of several prominent directors.

Just grifters and con men, doing their thing...

BTW, Trumpkins - since Donny has always told you that "Mexico will pay for The Wall", why would you give money to a fake private foundation to fund The Wall in the first place? I thought you fervently believed everything the Orange Shitstain says...

Who needs Nigerian scammers when members of your own Reich-wing party will gladly scam you out of your shorts?
Mexico will pay for The Wall & China will pay the tariffs are two of my favorites.

Comey: Bannon in 'a world of trouble'

https://thehill.com/homenews/sunday-...rld-of-trouble

"It’s another reminder of the kind of people this president surrounds himself with. At this point they could almost start their own crime family," said Comey, who is also a former U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, where Bannon was indicted. "It’s a very serious case. The Southern District of New York has laid it out in a very detailed indictment called a speaking indictment, and he’s in a world of trouble."

Bannon was indicted along with three others on charges of allegedly defrauding donors to the “We Build The Wall” fundraising campaign, which solicited money for the purpose of privately constructing a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. He has pleaded not guilty to the charges.

"It’s a very serious fraud case with a huge amount of money stolen from innocent victims," Comey added on CBS's "Face the Nation." "That'll drive up potential punishments."

"You know he’s in trouble because the indictment lays it out in such detail, including excerpts from texts. If you’re Steve Bannon [or] you’re his lawyers, you’re reading this saying, 'I’m going down here.'" Comey said. "I don’t know what the next steps are for him and his co-defendants, but that’s what I meant by 'world of trouble.'"

Don't worry Stevie - Billy Barr will put his bloated thumb on the scales of justice, just as he's done for other Trumpkin criminals...
