WaPo reports that Steve Bannon is prepared to surrender to NYState.
So, remember We Build The Wall (not Trump, by the way, the one who promised to build the Wall) that Bannon was involved in and was a huge scam? Trump pardoned him for it. The federal investigation, therefore, hit a snag.
NYState, of course, doesn't have that problem. Turns out they got his bank records. Bannon took $1 million of what he told NY donors was going to the Wall, then kept it.
Oh, and this is the funny part: Trump pardoned Bannon. Trump
did not pardon Bannon's co-conspirators.
"Surely these brave patriots were acquitted of all charges!"
They plead guilty.
Thanks, FOX News! You'll notice they plead out in April, so, they've had time to have a nice, quiet chat with their lawyers and state/federal prosecutors about their friend Bannon who someone escaped unscathed while they all got...uh...
(checks news)
Hmm. They haven't been sentenced yet, but they seem to be looking at 5 years, down from 46. So, yeah, I think they're going to turn on Bannon.
