Your comments reminded me  of your buddy Bannon...

“In December 2018, a US veteran named Brian Kolfage launched a campaign on the crowdfunding site GoFundMe called “We The People Will Fund The Wall.” The purpose was self-explanatory: It aimed to raise one billion dollars to help finance a wall on the US-Mexico border, in support of a central election promise of President Donald Trump.

Within a week, the campaign received $17 million in donations and plenty of national media attention. Soon after, Kolfage brought on former Trump aide Steve Bannon as a collaborator. By Tuesday of this week, the effort—since renamed “We The People BUILT the Wall!”—had collected $25.6 million from over 250,000 individual donors. This morning, it all came tumbling down.

The Department of Justice this morning unsealed indictments alleging that Kolfage and Bannon, along with Andrew Badolato and Timothy Shea, used the GoFundMe campaign to funnel hundreds of thousands of dollars to themselves, rather than directly to the construction of the wall as promised.“

Fund The Wall never was about building a wall.  It was always about shaking down the White Right.
