Steve Bannon arrested

[Seenenough]

"Steve Bannon, 'We Build The Wall' organizers arrested, charged with defrauding donors"

Let us see how this one unravels.

Does that mean that the Wall is on dodgy ground and might fall short?

[Undried Plum]

Wasn't he going to get Mexicans to pay for it?

How is that business plan working out?

[TheGreenGoblin]

Trump must be bricking it, and not his putative wall. These people have enough ***** on him to sink him in concrete for eternity...

One of the big problems that the US has is how the thousands of political "Non Profit" interests groups who use donor funds to further their views and intentions.

All of these Non Profits are allowed to incur "fair" expenses against the donations they solicit ,to go about their business.Many of the political commentators and pundits that appear on TV night after night are paid huge salaries by the Super PACs (Political Action Committees) that they represent.

Many Charities(with no political aims ) also raise funds ,all for a good cause of course, but end up passing on very much less than half of what they raise as they had to pay themselves salaries,very often outrageous ones, in order to raise the funds.

There are few rules other than IRS rules that govern how these non profits operate and what they can retain as "fair" expense incurred.

It is all just the Washington Swamp and the Swamp Dwellers hard at work.The only way to avoid being scammed and skimmed by the swamp is not to donate money to them in the first place.

So would you rather have had people like Carnegie just pocketing all that tax efficient change?

If they spent more time actually shooting than stealing money, the USA would be a better place.

The other consequence that will come of Bannon being under arrest is that his bail conditions will likely require him not to talk to the public in any form.

Bannon has a huge conservative following and he is very active in the media and press.He,as it was with Stone, will now most likely be silenced until his matter is finalized thus removing him from election campaigning.

A nice little political win for the Democrats.

The same can be said of Planned Parenthood which is big political interest grouping.

The PACs and interest groups are just as bad both ways.BLM themselves are a PAC which Soros funds copiously.

I suspect there are efforts going on to try and hurt any Trump supporting Group in the election run up.

Ah another anti-Trump conspiracy theory. Poor Trump. Poor you!

This gives an idea why they would like to see Bannon shut down.

Cape mentioned (and it has stuck with me) how often executives of those institutions (mainly NGO) hang on to expensive perks like long-hall tickets and refuse to fly much cheaper in economy under pretence they need to use the bag allowance to carry materiel to Africa.
