I still have to investigate further, but it looks to me like someone was out to get Bannon. The money used for personal expenses was a tiny percent of what they raised. And Bannon didn't take any of that money, it was paid as a salary to another guy. And it was paid "through" the non-profit, not from the non-profit.
I don't know the whole story yet, but so far it seems obvious that Bannon didn't steal any money for himself, and might not have stolen any at all. Just passed it through, or laundered it. Ok, a crime but maybe not a big deal at all.
I still don't understand why Bannon would have taken a chance by committing any kind of a crime, considering how many people hate him and want him in jail. Maybe he really did not think he was doing anything terrible, because maybe he wasn't.
Democrats, don't bother commenting on this because I know what you will say and it will be illogical.
So you have a biased opinion versus the indictment. Let me know how that works out.:roll:
Funny that you don't want anyone making posts contrary to your opinion.....

I am telling you exactly what he was charged with.

They stole hundreds of thousands of dollars from the fund and sought to cover it up. They didn't take the odd thirty bucks here and there for Chinese takeout.

They raised 25 million. Hundreds of thousands is a small percent. Bannon did not take any money for himself. And the money was "laundered" not stolen.
I bet that this whole thing was orchestrated by Democrats trying to show that everyone connected to Trump is a crook.
I'm not a real democrat but I'm accused of being one by Trump supporters.
Tell me what I was going to say.
Also, could you give an example of "logical". Like how stealing a 'tiny percent' isn't really a crime.

Oh stop. We already know that any money distributed anywhere in that organization had to go out over his signature. So whatever money went out and to where Bannon authorized it.I still have to investigate further, but it looks to me like someone was out to get Bannon.

Acting U.S. Attorney Audrey Strauss said: “As alleged, the defendants defrauded hundreds of thousands of donors, capitalizing on their interest in funding a border wall to raise millions of dollars, under the false pretense that all of that money would be spent on construction. While repeatedly assuring donors that Brian Kolfage, the founder and public face of We Build the Wall, would not be paid a cent, the defendants secretly schemed to pass hundreds of thousands of dollars to Kolfage, which he used to fund his lavish lifestyle. We thank the USPIS for their partnership in investigating this case, and we remain dedicated to rooting out and prosecuting fraud wherever we find it.”

Okay, go to a major bank and steal hundreds of thousands of dollars. Tell the judge you only took a small percentage of the bank's holdings. Let us know how that works out for you.
Also, the fact that there was money laundering is itself evidence of illegitimate moving of assets and therefore a Mount Everest of mens rea.
Seriously, somebody needs to explain to me how trump supporters are ever not in prison.
Well, why does anyone commit a financial crime? Because they are greedy and feel they can get away with it.
As for myself, I have never worked dozens of hours at a thankless job to make millions of dollars for a cause without some form of compensation. I value my knowledge, expertise and, most importantly, my time a bit too highly to give it away for nothing. Perhaps Steve Bannon is just that selfless and that giving with his time and energy. Perhaps he did not receive a single copper penny for what he did in any form of back-end compensation or kickback. Perhaps, but I doubt it.
Maybe should wait till drawing conclusions since you admitted that , "I don't know the whole story yet, but so"
Just maybe we should wait till the investigation is completed and the trial is done.
They raised 25 million. Hundreds of thousands is a small percent. Bannon did not take any money for himself. And the money was "laundered" not stolen.
I said please don't comment if you are going to be illogical and partisan.
Taking a small percent to pay a salary out of money you raised yourself is not the same as robbing a bank. And Bannon didn't take any for himself. And it probably was not stolen from the non-profit anyway.
Looks like a political set up to me.
