Fox News’ Judge Napolitano: Steve Bannon Facing 20 Years and ‘It Doesn’t Look Good’
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
Judge Andrew Napolitano painted a grim picture for Steve Bannon’s future Thursday morning on Fox News.
Shortly after President Donald Trump’s former campaign manager was arrested for allegedly defrauding donors to his “We Build the Wall” crowdfunding campaign, Fox’s senior judicial analyst broke down the stakes in the case.
Napolitano explained that the indictment exposes the bank accounts of Bannon and his partners “into which the funds” that were intended to go to their hypothetical wall project were put. “Rather than put the money directly into their pockets,” he said, “they funnelled it to third-party charities and those charities paid the money, according to the indictment, to Steve Bannon and the others.”
“They’re facing 20 years each for the money that they paid themselves in defiance of their promises not to do so,” the analyst added, noting that the charges include both wire fraud and conspiracy to commit wire fraud.
Fox host Trace Gallagher, in turn, pointed out that Bannon is accused of stealing $1 million for donors and using several hundred thousand dollars to fund his “lavish lifestyle.”
As for the likelihood of a conviction, Napolitano predicted that Bannon, who will reportedly plead not guilty, won’t be able to mount much of a defense. “The problem that he confronts is the publicity that they issued and the means they used,” he said. “They had hundreds of thousands of donors who donated this money believing that all of it would go to building the wall and ‘not a penny’ would go to those who are organizing it.”
The fact that they used a third-party in an effort to “cover their trail because they knew they had misled donors,” he added, “doesn’t look good for him right now.”

Everything Trump touches dies.
When Bannon met Trump, Bannon was a multimillionaire who did not need to commit fraud to support his lifestyle, after he knew Trump ,Bannon got greedy and stupid and became a criminal. Can it all be coincidence?
That is how Trump and Co keep their money. They steal other people's money so they don't have to spend their own.
Hard to argue with your conclusion.
O..P..M.. Other Peoples Money.
Who was going to pay for the wall again?
The idiots who donated money?
And set up fake charities.
What... were they giving Mexico a hand?
Now tRumpturd wants to charge a toll on any vehicles coming here from Mexico to pay for the wall!
You can't make this shit up.
Trump only gives a middle finger.
He's also a raging alcoholic. It's not cheap to drink like a f%@king fish.
Can it all be coincidence?
A resounding NO!!!!
Napolitano explained that the indictment exposes the bank accounts of Bannon and his partners.
Have these idiots ever head of Swiss Bank Accounts? The money can't be traced and no records can be obtained under Swiss Financial Laws. Bannon and his three stooges are like children who lie about eating a Hershey Bar but leave the wrapper out for mom and dad to find.
Is there anyone in Trump's immediate circle who isn't a liar or thief?

Names and crimes committed please.
Those are the prerequisites to get into his inner circle.
that pardon list is getting longer and longer...
Can pardons be reversed?
Trump supporters are apparently suckered, yet again...
but obviously, just another one of those hundred thousand coincidences, that point to Trump and his cronies, being LYING THIEVING CON MEN !
With all of the local Trumpers calling it fake news, or "part of "the-Q" plan.....
more suckers
To echo your earlier post........ How did they get so stupid!
"OK - Alex - I'll take Irony and Karma for $500. "
"do de do de, do de dooo, do de do de, doo de do de do do"
"Who is the FBI"
HOOONK!
Sorry, any one else?
The US Postal Service ...
Took a glimpse over at Breitbart..... Choose the most posted theme on the topic of Bannon's arrest:
And yes, I found this..... Chelsea Clinton spent $30 million donated dollars on her wedding and they're bitching about a Bannon taking a million.
That has to be my favorite. I believe that they are talking about Barr, aren't they?
Re the wedding paid for by the Clinton Foundation - Fact check by WaPo - No Evidence
Also, it was 3 million, not 30 million.
What's in a decimal point....? Such a small thing./s
Laugh at them Kavika.... they know not what they do!
Is there a good NA word for moron/idiot?
Ojibwe slang it would be moosh noosh (dumb ass)
I know people who eat this stuff for breakfast. Facts do not faze them. If effect, Trump has walked out on to 5th Avenue and shot 100,000 people and they will still vote for him.
I love karma.
