Holy crap, Bannon's friend Badolato from Build the Wall is a life-long bottom feeder

[EleanorR]

Bannon and Badolato have a relationship dating back to 2003 in Sarasota County and were so close that the Herald-Tribune found that Badolato was with Bannon at Trump Tower in New York on the night Trump was elected president in 2016.

An investigation by the Herald-Tribune published in 2018 revealed that Badolato’s past includes “numerous lawsuits, substantial monetary judgments and sizable Internal Revenue Service liens filed against him; business dealings with convicted felons for stock-related fraud; an extortion attempt after he borrowed money from a self-described mobster that led to him wearing a wire for the FBI; an association with a Costa Rican offshore firm that was called a 'money laundering hub' by the Justice Department; and sexual assault allegations made by three women over a period of four years that allegedly took place inside his million-dollar home on Casey Key Road," which Badolato has since lost to foreclosure.

Bannon and Badolato have been in at least three failed penny-stock ventures together, and Bannon was once removed from the board of a Sarasota County nasal spray company called Sino-fresh — Ed McMahon was the spokesman — because of his relationship with Badolato in 2003.

Seven years later, Badolato formed a company listing Bannon as a board member alongside an attorney named L.B. Moon, who was barred from practicing law by the Oklahoma Supreme Court for threatening to kill an adversary, place his body in a shredder and have his daughter raped.

7. Well, that's what I heard

I tried to go to the "official" website of the convention, and there's not a thing about the schedule. No hurry, though, it's just 72 hours away. New York Magazine had a recent post about the convention schedule, but it's very general: Monday is this, Tuesday is that, etc. Some gossip about some people who might be there, including Nicholas Sandmann and Tara Reade. No mention of Bannon, but that doesn't mean anything from what I can tell.
