salford1:There is absolutely no doubt, Donald Trump is fully aware of what this fund is about, despite him saying something different yesterday. Donald Trump Jr. and Kimberly Guilfoyle endorsed ‘we build the wall’ – a $25 million scam that led to Bannon’s arrest https://www.rawstory.com/2020/08/donald-trump-jr-and-kimberly-guilfoyle-endorsed-we-build-the-wall-a-25-million-scam-that-led-to-bannons-arrest/ Several high-profile members of the Trump family and campaign, and allies tied to President Donald Trump are listed as endorsing the organization that ran a $25 million criminally fraudulent scam which led to former Trump advisor Steve Bannon’s arrest Thursday morning. The names are well-known. The President’s son Donald Trump, Jr., and his girlfriend, Trump campaign Finance Committee National Chair and Senior Advisor Kimberly Guilfoyle, along with U.S. Congressman Louis Gohmert (R-TX), and former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski all are listed as having endorsed the project, called “We Build the Wall,” as The Atlantic’s Edward-Isaac Dovere notes It doesn’t stop there. A 2019 Politico report stated that “Steve Bannon, Kris Kobach and Erik Prince are among the backers of an improbable effort to start building a border wall without federal funding.” And Talking Points Memo notes “Donald Trump, Jr., spoke at an event hosted by We Build The Wall in July 2019 to celebrate a portion of border wall the group had built. We Build The Wall in turn used his appearance for further fundraising, and lists Trump Jr.’s endorsement on its website.” In fact, former Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach serves as the group’s General Counsel, according to the organization’s website. Kobach just lost a U.S. Senate bid in the Republican primary. Kobach is an anti-immigration extremist who was general counsel to an organization that is part of a hate group. He was also head of Trump’s fake “Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity,” which was forced to disband when it could not find fraud. 4 Likes 1 Share

Over 70 Republican National Security Officials Endorse Biden, Deem Trump ‘Dangerously Unfit’ For President https://www.forbes.com/sites/jemimamcevoy/2020/08/20/over-70-republican-national-security-officials-endorse-biden-deem-trump-dangerously-unfit-for-president/ A group of 73 former U.S. National Security officials who served under GOP administrations, including former CIA and FBI chiefs, endorsed Democratic nominee Joe Biden in a joint statement on Thursday, joining the growing number of prominent Republicans to depart from their party for the 2020 election. KEY FACTS “We are profoundly concerned about the course of our nation under the leadership of Donald Trump,” reads the statement, which accuses the president of lacking “character and competence” and engaging in “corrupt behavior that renders him unfit to serve as president.” Among the statement’s signees are officials who served under Presidents Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush, George W. Bush and Donald Trump, some of whom have served in the country’s top defense and intelligence roles. 2 Likes |

feedthenation:Audrey Strauss has been the acting head of the US Attorney’s office in the Southern District of New York for under two months. She has already overseen the indictments of Ghislaine Maxwell and Steve Bannon, Trump's former campaign CEO There was a reason Attorney General Bill Barr tried to insert someone other than Strauss, when Geoffrey Berman was removed hapharzardly two months ago. Looks like she building up good case against Barr for obstructing justice - which may never happen if Trump is elected. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/21/nyregion/us-attorney-trump-audrey-strauss.html *A former mayor of NY, may be the next to be indicted*  2 Likes 1 Share

PremierGuy:I'm 1000% sure that Trump is fully aware of the fund raising of the "We Build the Wall" campaign. https://www.forbes.com/sites/rachelsandler/2020/05/19/trump-favored-construction-firm-involved-in-ongoing-inspector-general-investigation-wins-13b-border-wall-contract/#72e75b2c7bcf Trump-Favored Construction Firm Involved In Ongoing Inspector General Investigation Wins $1.3B Border Wall Contract A North Dakota construction company involved in an ongoing Defense Department Inspector General investigation and favored by President Donald Trump was awarded a $1.3 billion contract to build a segment of border wall earlier this month. KEY FACTS Fisher Sand & Gravel on May 6 was awarded a $1.28 billion contract, which had not been publicly announced by the DoD, to build a segment of border wall in Arizona, the Arizona Daily Star first reported. U.S. Army Corps of Engineers contracts automatically go to the qualified bidder who offers the lowest price. The DoD IG’s office is investigating a separate border wall contract awarded to Fisher Sand & Gravel in December following concerns from Democrats that Trump “inappropriately influenced” the bidding process after the company’s owner, Tommy Fisher, made several appearances on Fox News. Fisher Sand & Gravel may be required to paint its section of border wall black, which would add $500 million to the project, at the behest of Trump, who says that black paint will absorb more heat and make it harder for people to climb, the Washington Post reported. Fisher Sand & Gravel did not immediately responded to a request for comment from Forbes. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which handles the contract, said in a statement it followed federal regulations and awarded the contract to the “lowest price technically acceptable offer.” 5 Likes |

salford1:the so-called peace agreement doesn't worth the paper it is written on, if it involves Trump. This is what Trump's MAGAs want Trump to be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize Trump weighs F-35 jet sales to UAE despite objections by Israel https://www.marketwatch.com/story/trump-weighs-f-35-jet-sales-to-uae-despite-objections-by-israel-2020-08-19 WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump said Wednesday the U.S. is considering selling advanced American F-35 warplanes to the United Arab Emirates over the objections of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Trump told reporters at a White House news conference that the Emiratis had expressed interest in buying “quite a few” of the stealth fighter jets. He said such a sale was “under review” given the new dynamic between Israel and the UAE since the two nations agreed to normalize relations last week. Perhaps just as important, Trump said, is that the UAE can afford to buy the planes. “They have the money and they would like to order quite a few F-35s,” Trump said. “It’s the greatest fighter jet in the world, as you know, by stealth, totally stealth.” “They’d like to buy F-35s, we’ll see what happens,” Trump added. “It’s under review, but they made a great advance in peace in the Middle East.” Netanyahu said Tuesday he would oppose the sale despite the historic UAE deal after an Israeli newspaper reported that the normalization accord that Trump brokered included language to supply the Arab Gulf nation with advanced U.S. weapons systems. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Steve Bannon, 'We Build The Wall' organizers arrested, charged with defrauding donors https://www.foxnews.com/politics/steve-bannon-among-4-arrested-indicted-in-online-fundraising-scheme-doj-announces Steve Bannon, a former adviser to President Trump, was among four suspects arrested Thursday and indicted in connection with an online fundraising campaign that allegedly defrauded investors of hundreds of thousands of dollars, the Justice Department announced. The campaign, "We Build the Wall," was said to have raised over $25 million in all. "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," acting U.S. Attorney Audrey Strauss said. In addition to Kolfage and Bannon, the DOJ identified Andrew Badolato and Timothy Shea (the Trump administration's acting administrator of Drug Enforcement Administration who took over the post in May) https://www.justice.gov/usao-sdny/pr/leaders-we-build-wall-online-fundraising-campaign-charged-defrauding-hundreds-thousands.
