meh, i don’t know. if they did this thing, prosecute anyone who was in on it. but the indictment says they defrauded investors of 100’s of thousands and raised 25M. this clown defrauded investors of the whole 26M. not really in the same ball park. he was defrauding, looks like they were skimming.
We are soft on white collar crime. This is not a partisan thing either. As a nation we go way too easy on grifters and criminals that take advantage of people of lesser means. I hope they are made an example of and this deters others who are thinking about skimming/stealing.
“I disagreed with doing this very small (tiny) section of wall, in a tricky area, by a private group which raised money by ads,” Trump wrote. “It was only done to make me look bad, and perhsps it now doesn’t even work. Should have been built like rest of Wall, 500 plus miles.”
there’s a better chance this is a premature indictment meant to stick a thumb in Barr’s eye or to “prove” the move was never about Trump to begin with. Since they made the splash, I hope that’s not the case and they do have the goods. we’ll see.
i’m not into the “example” thingy, stinks of unequal justice (appellate courts aren’t too fond of it either). if they did it, and its proven in court, punish them according to the law the same as any other.
Yeah. Trump is going to feel terrible about Bannon getting into trouble.
“Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump excoriated his former chief strategist Steve Bannon in a statement Wednesday, claiming that Bannon “lost his mind” after being pushed out from the White House.”
