I swear, every day it's something new. Today, former Donald Trump adviser Steve Bannon along with three others, were charged with fraud in a border-wall fundraising scheme. They spent hundreds of thousands of dollars purportedly intended to help fund Trump's border-wall for personal expenses. $25M in total was raised. Trump of course denies any involvement and is trying to distance himself from Bannon. But man, if Trump is somehow connected to this (it wouldn't shock me), we could be on the road to another impeachment. Something to watch for sure as more information comes out. It looks like SDNY has the paper documents they need. Buckle up!

If Trump doesn’t get re-elected Bannon can’t be pardoned by him. So much for emptying the swamp and hiring the best people.

Yeah, this comes right after the senate intelligence committee released a report more damning than the Mueller report, signed by republican senators, claiming Trump, Trump Jr., and Jared repeatedly lied.

In an ironic twist, Bannon was arrested by Postal Service Inspectors. Some are saying it’s to get around the Barr obstruction of the FBI and DOJ.

Trump says he doesn’t know anything about it, but if you go to the fund raising page right now, you’ll see Donald Jr’s ringing endorsement there.

Yeah, I was about to post about that Senate report. Donald Trump, Jr. also spoke at one of their events. The donations he made are more damning, though. This could get really bad for Trump. If his son was close to the pulse of this thing, Trump couldn’t have been that far away.

Even Trey Gowdy had to admit today that Trump’s vetting process wasn’t good. LOL 😂

I dunno, are the polls tightening? Trump still has a fiercely loyal 40% of the country who believe he is a great man, one of the best presidents in history. You never hear such adoration of Biden.

CNN Poll: Biden and Trump matchup tightens as enthusiasm hits new highJoe Biden's lead over Donald Trump among registered voters has significantly narrowed since June, according to a new CNN poll conducted by SSRS, even as the former vice president maintains an advantage over the President on several top issues and his choice of California Sen. Kamala Harris as a running mate earns largely positive reviews.www.cnn.com

The lead was expected to tighten. Gerrymandering is the big concern and the reason Trump won the first time. Seriously though if Trump wins then America is going to take decades to recover if ever. We’ll see what the Russians come up with just before the election.

Remember what Alan Lichtman said: Polls don’t matter, lol. I really wouldn’t worry too much about what they say.

If Trump wins, so many Americans are gonna be pissed off. It would be even more embarrassing to re-elect him.

The election really only starts after the last debate and for most not until the last week.

Going to be a ton of Oct surprises this year.

Does Bannon have anything on Trump and might he flip?

As of now, Bannon plans to plead not guilty. Maybe the pressure will get to him and he’ll flip later on. If he’s smart he flips and coughs up the beans. Otherwise, he’s likely locked up for 7-9 years.

He will not flip. He will get pardoned. Ala Roger Stone.

It’s hard to take anymore surprises. As Trump says, it’s something every day. Today it was his sister, a former federal judge, caught on tape saying he’s completely unprincipled.

Trump’s unprincipled response was “who cares?”

Wasn’t it the niece that Trumps brother sued to keep her tell all book out of the media that recorded her mother saying these things?

Christmas will never be the same.

Edit: Is anything ever as it seems?

Well, that’s assuming Trump gets re-elected, which Bannon doesn’t think he will. I’m not sure we’ll see a conviction until after Inauguration Day (assuming Biden wins) anyways. Also, pardoning Bannon would be a little trickier for Trump given the fact that his own supporters got duped. Trump has tried to distance himself from Bannon whereas he’s remained much closer to Stone.

I wouldn’t think this would be a good look for Bannon in his trial:

"We're on the million-dollar yacht of Brian Kolfage," Bannon quipped. "He took all that money from Build the Wall."

UPDATE: Bannon has pleaded not guilty. He’s not just planning to do so. He’s gone ahead and pleaded not guilty. This doesn’t mean he won’t/can’t flip later, but doing so wouldn’t afford him the same leniency that it would had he flipped on the front end.

Not just Trump, but Don Jr. and Barr. Barr replaced the NY attorney general in a hamfisted way that involved clrealy false statements — when he knew about this investigation.

Don Jr. is trying to distance himself but he gave a ringing endorsement of them, autographs books to donors, spoke at their event, joined them for golf, etc.

The Roger Stone affair was a quid pro quo for Roger not talking, according to Stone, even though a lot of the damning stuff he had knowledge of came out anyway in the republican-led senate intelligence committee report.

that recorded her mother saying these things?

Recorded her aunt. Her aunt (Trump’s sister) sat for 15 hours being interviewed by Mary for the book. She said incredibly damning things.

Polls don’t matter as much because of gerrymandering. Polls done in certain locations is more insightful.

If he doesn’t flip and Trump gets re-elected he gets a pardon.

Stone is a nutbar. At least Bannon has a brain. Maybe more dangerous though.

All true but none of it means anything to the base. Seriously how can they not care? Well I guess some care but feel they’ve been screwed so long by the establishment that they prefer someone (Trump) who is at least visibly doing his thing. Idk it all makes me shake my head in disbelief.
