The Steve Bannon arrest is closing in on Donald Trump already
When Steve Bannon was arrested earlier today, Palmer Report pointed out that Bannon was likely to cut a deal to sell out Donald Trump and his family in exchange for leniency. After all, even if the Trump cartel wasn’t involved in this particular scheme, Bannon knows where all the bodies are buried.
Now it turns out the Trump family is indeed tied to this particular criminal scheme. For instance, Donald Trump Jr did an in-person fundraiser and a testimonial for the Bannon border wall scam, which means at the least the SDNY is surely investigating to see if Junior knew he was promoting a criminal scheme. Now it turns out Trump lackey Kris Kobach has previously claimed that he personally got Donald Trump’s approval to use the Trump name to promote the wall scam. It gets even worse.
It turns out the border wall scam investigation is being conducted by the SDNY’s Public Corruption Unit. By definition this means that the SDNY is looking at one or more public officials as a subject or target of the investigation. Given the circumstances, that almost has to be Donald Trump himself. In other words, the SDNY appears to be preparing to criminally indict Donald Trump as soon as he’s out of office, and it doesn’t look like Bill Barr has been able to do anything about it.
