From Alan Feuer and William Rashbaum in Thursday's New York Times:


Stephen K. Bannon, President Trump’s former top adviser, was charged on Thursday in New York with fraud for his role in a scheme related to “We Build the Wall,” an online fund-raising effort that collected more than $25 million for the president’s much-touted plan to erect a barrier on the Mexican border, officials said.

Mr. Bannon and three other 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,” Audrey Strauss, the acting United States attorney in Manhattan, said in statement Thursday...



Hmmmmm.

Is it possible that Mr. Bannon and his fine friends thought that all their donors live in Mexico and therefore, well, you know....

He's probably not that worried. Trump will pardon him.
