NEW YORK -- Steve Bannon, the former White House Chief Strategist and architect of some of President Donald Trump's early immigration policies, has been indicted in connection with an online border wall funding campaign that prosecutors call a scheme.

In a federal indictment unsealed Thursday, Bannon and two others are accused of defrauding thousands of donors in an online campaign known as "We Build the Wall" that raised more than $25 million.

Trump and co. Are easily the most corrupt administration in history. It only makes sense that early advisors to his political rise would be just as corrupt.

Though I haven't seen any statistics, I would be willing to bet that most of the donations were relatively small and came mostly from people of modest means. The swindlers will likely get light sentences.

They'd only be in serious trouble if they stole from the rich.

If he worked for the Klinton Crime Family he simply would have committed suicide by now.

Sorry but you’re wrong “The Clinton’s and Co.” the most corrupt followed by “Obama and Co”. Let us give credit where credit is due. A typical liberal bullshit statement you guys never look at your mistakes and corruption, just sweep it under the carpet. Always blame the other party. That’s just classic.

Accused fraudster and former White House strategist Steve Bannon was aboard a $28 million yacht owned by a Chinese billionaire when he was arrested on fraud charges Thursday morning, according to reports.

The 150-foot mega vessel was in the Long Island Sound near Westbrook, Connecticut, when President Trump’s former strategist was picked up by US Postal Service inspectors, the Hartford Courant reported.

The boat, the Lady May, is owned by Guo Wengui, one of China’s most wanted fugitives, who is wanted in Beijing on fraud, blackmail and bribery charges, according to the Washington Post.

The 2014 yacht was listed for sale in an April post that boasted about its luxe amenities, like a fully stocked bar in the main lounge, a white marble and bleached oak interior and five staterooms. The meticulously kept vessel, which has a max speed of 19 knots (22 mph) and cruising speed of 14 knots (16 mph), can carry up to 10 guests and a crew of eight.

It remained off West Beach in Westbrook following Bannon’s arrest on charges he pocketed donations from the $25 million “We Build the Wall” fundraiser for the US-Mexico border wall.

A photo tweeted by a Fox 61 reporter appeared to show Bannon on Wednesday night aboard the yacht wearing a white shirt and khakis.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

His unshaven, dirty scalp, filthy-clothed self - floatin in another man’s luxury liner - as “team postal” comes aboard - and arrests his good-for-nothin, cheatin, thievin ass.

New meaning to the phrase “Going Postal”.

Kind a looks like the USPS revenge for Trump screwing with it to stop American’s Biden votes from mattering.

Meanwhile - when a reporter asks Trump about Bannon’s gangplank perp walk - the latest in a long line of criminal creatures from his administrative swamp caught by John Law - the unfit, mentally ill president goes into his usual distancing /disavowing act.

Was this before or after he played dumb about QAnon? Another GD lie.

His cult members are so deep into their indoctrination via Fox News and other alt-right fakenewsinfotainment venues - every “Jim Jones thing” Trump utters or does - seems normal to them.

Anti-American, Anti-Democracy, Anti-Patriotic Cult for Cowards.
And most couldn’t extricate their minds from Putin’s control if they tried.
