Steve Bannon is an anti elitist who cares about America

F'in YES.

He cheated a lot of MAGA supporters who thought he was going to use the money to help Trump build his wall.

Instead Bannon used the money to build his personal wealth.
Sez who?
 
Lol. You think Trump is anti-establishment.

You got duped again. Only this time by the guy you voted for.
I dont think trump wants to burn America down and rebuild it in your image

Which I’m grateful for
 
Bush had him shot 70 days into his 1st term so he could run things.
Objectively that's what it looks like to me.
Would you like some NUTS to go with that theory?

Lol. Apparently you don’t know the meaning of establishment.

Read a book for once, before it’s too late.
 
Again, another critic who cant refute what Bannon is saying so you attack him personally
The last people that listened to Bannon lost millions.

Next you'll want people to get financial advice from Michael Milken.

Steve Bannon pleads guilty in border wall funding case

Former Donald Trump adviser Steve Bannon pleaded guilty in New York state court on Tuesday to a fraud charge related to his fundraising campaign for the U.S. president's wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.

Bannon was charged with money laundering and conspiracy, and accused of deceiving donors in 2019 who contributed more than $15 million to a private fundraising drive, known as "We Build the Wall," during Trump's first term in the White House.

Federal prosecutors in Manhattan brought similar charges against Bannon in 2020, but Trump pardoned him in his final hours in the White House the next year.

So you approve of the relationship we have with china?
 
Funny how MAGA's love their fraudsters, grifters, and criminals.

And how they want us to listen to convicted felons for advice
 
So you approve of the relationship we have with china?
Which part of that relationship are you talking aobut.
If it's tik-tok, i'm against it. They're spying on Americans with it.

Steve Bannon pleads guilty in border wall funding case

Federal prosecutors in Manhattan brought similar charges against Bannon in 2020, but Trump pardoned him in his final hours in the White House the next year.
Bannon's defense argued that the case against him was flimsy and politically motivated, claiming it was a "political persecution." His lawyers contended that he was entitled to the money received by his organization for legitimate work and sought to portray the prosecution as a selective enforcement of the law.

Bannon's Defense in the Border Wall Fraud Case

Key Arguments

  • Political Persecution: Bannon claimed that the charges against him were politically motivated, labeling the prosecution as a "political persecution."
  • Flimsy Case: His defense attorney argued that the case was weak and not about Bannon personally, suggesting that the prosecution was targeting him unfairly.
  • Legitimacy of Transactions: Bannon's lawyers contended that the financial transactions in question were legitimate. They argued that Bannon's organization, Citizens of the American Republic (COAR), was entitled to the money it received from the fundraising efforts.

Strategy

  • Aggressive Defense: Bannon had planned an aggressive defense strategy, including hiring a new legal team to portray the prosecution as selective and malicious.
  • Challenge to Evidence: His defense sought to dismiss the case by arguing that it was an unconstitutional selective enforcement of the law. They aimed to challenge the admissibility of certain evidence, including emails that suggested Bannon had concerns about the fundraising effort.

Outcome

Ultimately, Bannon opted for a plea deal, pleading guilty to a charge of scheme to defraud, which allowed him to avoid jail time. This decision came just before the trial was set to begin, indicating a shift in his defense approach.

When a conservative is being tried in a liberal, partisan Manhattan kangaroo court sometimes a guilty plea to avoid jail time is the best thing to do
