Bannon says he was "totally in the zone" during his arrest for money laundering and conspiracy
Bannon was first arrested in 2021 in connection with a financial plot involving the "We Build the Wall" fundraiser



By Meaghan Ellis Published September 10, 2022 3:56PM (EDT)



Steve Bannon, a former White House advisor for Donald Trump, recently revealed the day he was arrested on money laundering and conspiracy charges was actually "one of the best days" of his life.

On Friday, September 9, Bannon recalled his arrest during the latest episode of his podcast. Back in 2021, Bannon was arrested on money laundering and conspiracy in connection with a financial plot involving the "We Build the Wall" fundraising effort.

Speaking to conservative commentator Charlie Kirk, Bannon said, "It was a very powerful, spiritual day for me. A lot of things came into high clarity."

Bannon went on to describe that day as "one of the best days of my life."

"I was totally in the zone — as you say in sports — the entire time," he continued, "They're not gonna shut me up."

Per Business Insider: "An indictment from the Manhattan district attorney's office alleged that Bannon had conspired with three men — Air Force veteran Brian Kolfage, venture capitalist Andrew Badolato and Colorado businessman Timothy Shea — to launder money and commit fraud through a sham crowdfunded charity.".........................................................

Spinning a lie to make himself look heroic. I don't believe anything that lying pig says. If that was his best day, the day the judge issues his sentence will be a doozie.

Bannon once provided a rather candid remark on how he would successfully run a campaign: Flood the ZONE with shit! He's in it right up to his eyeballs at the moment.

Bannon finally saw that his life of lying, cheating, and stealing might have consequences.

Most people don't have the money and lawyers to keep them out of trouble with the kind of drug use we
see with Trump, his family and their followers.

And most people don't think they are entitled to take over the world and then burn it down.
