Trump: I don't know who these people are

Quote:New York federal prosecutors on Thursday charged President Donald Trump's former campaign adviser Steve Bannon and three others with defrauding donors of hundreds of thousands of dollars as part of a fundraising campaign purportedly aimed at supporting Trump's border wall.

Bannon was arrested Thursday morning, according to a spokesman for the US attorney's office. Bannon's lawyer did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Bannon will make his initial court appearance in New York later Thursday, according to the US attorney's office.

The four men are indicted for allegedly taking hundreds of thousands of dollars donated to a group called We Build the Wall and using the funds for personal expenses, among other things.

Bannon has always given me the creeps.

If I had run into him somewhere in person I would have been looking for the nearest exit.

Currently waiting for Trump to wish him well...or as Eleven said, claim to not know him.

I can remember growing up remembering that the conspiracy rag "Weekly World News" was seen by a majority as simply a novelty only a minority of nuts loved. Breitbart turned that motif into political power unfortunately, and America is now suffering from that success.

QAnon is a manifestation of of human gullibility.
