RE: Bannon behind bars accused of fraud.

There are news reports that social media is teeming with Republican defenses of Bannon and trying to blame Democrats.
If the allegations are true, Republicans are highly likely to be most of the people he defrauded.

Hmmm...wonder how much of that bond was paid out of money obtained fraudulently.

Probably not a lot. The indictment alleges that Bannon pocketed around $350 000 of the donated money. Also, an article I found says the court is requiring his bond to be secured by assets which he has to surrender to the court within the next few days, which means (I’m kinda guessing at this bit) that the state is holding his property pending the outcome of the case.

I hadn't read up on it and was really sort of being a smart ass.
It's a smart ass kinda day around here.

Ima go give a kopek to his gofundme page.
And yes, there is bound to be a serious lien on his properties.
Is it wrong of me to hope that he hangs himself on a bed sheet in his prison cell? #don'tcare
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

I think he’s far more likely to do a runner than kill himself. Lack of a passport has never stopped anyone from changing countries. #iknowaguy

Arrested by the Postal Inspection Office. No wonder Trump wants to defund them.
"Tradition" is just a word people use to make themselves feel better about being an asshole.

Just the opposite - you’d think he write them a blank check. Trump hates Bannon.
