The Democratic Coalition has filed an FBI complaint against Trump Campaign Chairman Steven Bannon, which alleging that he violated a federal campaign finance law coordinating Super PAC activities with the Trump campaign, and receiving payments from it after becoming officially part of the Republican campaign.
Bannons recent appointment as a Senior White House Advisor has caused shock waves throughout American media for his alt-right connections and headlines from his Breitbart News outlet.
Bannons production company Glittering Steel LLC made Clinton Cash as an electioneering communication.
The Make America Number 1 PAC sent payments to Glittering Steel LLC in the amount of $950,090 during the 2016 primary and general election cycle until this September.

"Glittering Steel" indeed. Lock this fucking conspiro-fascist up for everything he's done, PLUS for offending my eyeballs. What a limp dick turd.

(11,243 posts)The Blackwater guy, Erik Prince, gave money to that PAC too. Mercers, DeVos, Prince and Bannon are all deeply involved in that PAC. The campaign finance violation might be the part of the puzzle that ties him to the Russian interference, but I am guessing his trouble is far deeper than that.
Here's hoping he goes to jail!

(10,281 posts)The current batch of crooks in this administration prove that old adage, when you point the finger at someone else, 3 are pointed back at you. Their audacity to talk about Hillary being a criminal is stunning.
Yes, lock them up. Or maybe a firing squad for some of the more the treasonous bastards.

However, my delight and relief that Bannon's been pushed out of the NSC, look who just got picked to be in? Rick "Governor Oops" Perry. Lovely. Strikes me as another one of those "the Lord giveth, and the Lord taketh away" things. In that order.

A good example of a face reflecting the evil inside.

Not that I care if he keels over before I am done typing this, but somewhere, someone has to care about him still...right?
