Well, so much for a mental health week. I’d hoped that the DNC convention week would give me a respite from Freeperville, but NOOOOOOOOO…
Well, let’s get suited up and into the airlock. The warning buzzers and overload sirens are getting on my last nerve.

I said for a while that the build the wall fund was a scam and wouldn’t result in anything substantial but people wanted to believe that we could throw a buck on the pile to build the wall.

Well, you know what they say – “There’s a Freeper born every minute”.
And probably the best non-conspiracy-theory-but-her-emails response:

We thought we were building the wall, but we were buying Bannon’s hookers and meth

Thou thinkest?
And now, the Southern District of New York fan club chimes in:
To: Red Badge
The indictment was brought by prosecutors in the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York.

Your article seems to confirm it was the Democrats at SDNY. And it involves that vet was the trying to build the wall, too. More targeted political prosecutions out of the “Trump” DOJ.

The SDNY is a very large office with hundreds of prosecutors of which some will be closet Democrats of those that have been accidentally overlooked by the Attorney General and Trump.
Once Attorney General Barr hears about Bannon’s arrest, the charges will be dropped and the rouge(sic) prosecutor will be fired and disbarred.

To: Red Badger
Not sure what everyone is complaining about with SDNY. Audrey Strauss is Barr’s appointee. Trump and Barr fired Berman. Therefore – this would be Strauss doing this – and would be Barr’s “man” (woman) doing this.

Especially stupid and careless of Bannon if they’ve legitimately caught him.
So he’s stupid and careless only because he got caught? Interesting take on morality you have there.
I don’t think he’s ever been a true Trump supporter and I am not a fan.
“In August 2016, Bannon was named the chief executive officer of Trump’s 2016 presidential bid.[22][23] Following Trump’s victory, Bannon was appointed Chief Strategist in the Trump administration.”
But yet again, it is our side getting the indictments, other than the single little Patsy Klinesmith charge, four years in, never the other team.

Occam’s Razor says it’s because the GOP has filled up with crooks and grifters. But that was kinda the plan all along, wasn’t it?
To: Zeroisanumber1
You’re really going to believe New York prosecutors over our guys right out of the box?
Wait a minute – I thought that these weren’t “our guys”?
The same group of prosecutors who are going after Trump?
Who you going to choose there, New York, or Trump?

This thread is a perfect example of why FR comes across as an echo chamber full of really stupid people. It’s equivalent to flat earthers, 6000 year creationists and people who claim masks are of the devil.
If you’ve already posted anything along the lines of “psh, it’s SDNY, I donated, not real, fake news” and these charges are actually legitimate … yup. Thanks for playing.

Bannon is no friend to Trump. You have a short memory?
Makes no difference. Bannon’s name is tied to Trump.

Bannon is a creep and a crook – anyone should be able to see that.Is the timing suspect? SURE!
But this is yet another “personnel” mistake Trump made. He should not have been within 100 miles of this guy.
Add his name to a long list.

So much for HIS pardon.

You know something?
Not ONE single Freeper has noted that Racist Bannon (obligatory Johnny Quest reference) is more likely than not to give up The Darnold in a plea bargain.

I’m sure it’ll occur to them after the news breaks.

Hmmm. How did QAnon miss this in their all their prognostication?

And lets dispense with the Q lunacy. There is no sweep about to happen, there are not thousands of sealed warrants, and none of the conspirators are in the slightest danger.

Judge throws out Trump challenge to Manhattan DA subpoena for tax recordsCNBC ^ | 8/20/2020 | Tucker Higgins Posted on 8/20/2020, 10:29:40 AM by EBH
U.S. District Judge Victor Marrero said the president failed to show that the subpoena would pose an unfair burden, siding in favor of Manhattan D.A. Cyrus Vance Jr., who has said his office is pursuing an investigation of potential violations of state law. Trump is likely to appeal the decision to a higher court.
The president’s attorney, Jay Sekulow, said Trump will appeal the decision. It is unlikely that any records obtained via subpoena by Vance’s office will become public before the presidential election this fall, if at all…
… More clues emerged in a filing earlier in August, in which Vance suggested he could also be pursuing an inquiry into potential bank and insurance fraud. Vance’s office declined to comment on Thursday’s ruling.
