On August 20th, President Trump's former Chief Strategist Steve Bannon was arrested on fraud charges relating to the "We Build the Wall" construction project on the U.S.-Mexico border.
Steve Bannon stepped up to help the fledgling project navigate the labyrinth of red tape and regulations designed to stop the project.
The crowdfunding website relinquished the funds to a nonprofit set up by Bannon as Kolfage continued to promote the project, raising additional funds while promising to spend 100% of funds on the wall's construction and not to pay a salary to the organizers.
One of these vendors owned by Bannon associate Timothy Shea began paying Kolfage for marketing work on the project.
Centers around the various attempts to keep the payments to Kolfage a secret for public relations reasons, listing the various pathways and obfuscation maneuvers allegedly used by Bannon and associates to hide the fact that Kolfage was paid by affiliate organizations.
The issue of Kolfage's salary aside, why the SDNY would allege that Bannon and his two wealthy associates ran a two-year scam to expense some hotel bills makes more sense than you think.
Although the charges against Bannon affirm her politicization of prosecutorial power, firing her now would look like obstruction of justice.
