    1. Team tRUMP steals from its own base. Lol. Doesn’t look like a crime to me. Looks more like a
      public service.

    2. Trump put himself in a double bind, long ago: you can either be a con man who thinks all people are morons – OR someone who wants to be loved by all. Not both. 🙂

  1. Law and order president:
    – His campaign manager is a felon.
    – His deputy campaign manager is a felon.
    – His national security advisor is a felon.
    – His foreign policy advisor is a felon.
    – His personal lawyer is a felon.
    – His long time advisor is a felon.
    It’s not a campaign, it’s a criminal enterprise.

  2. So he’s on a 30 MILLION DOLLAR LUXURY YACHT CHILLIN when he got ARRESTED while Americans are trying to put FOOD ON THE TABLE

    1. @Joe you can’t be SERIOUS why don’t you find something productive to do instead of articulating negative ENERGY you know damn well that he’s part of SPANKY’S GANG 😎SMFH

    2. snapdragonfly66 Then all that remains is to study psychology en masé, plenty of “clients” there, eh!

    1. What’s the delay, deport him!!!!! Unless he praised “Don The Con” , then he will get a cabinet position like Luis No Joy. That’s the real swamp.

    2. @Jerry Hazeltine remember early in bunkerboy ‘s term , when ivanka and doni what’s in it for me trump were selling condos to the Chinese that included immediate citizenship….with no test. Chinese spies were fighting over them

    3. Lawrence Ashworth Actually not factually correct. The Chinese Government froze the assets, in Jong Kong, accusing his daughter of Fraud. I would suggest that people at least Wikipedia’s post on Weng. One thing that does concern me is Guo, is a member of Trumps Mar a Lago club. His connection with Bannon isn’t surprising. I see Guo also took a suit against Roger Stone for defamation, as Stone stated Guo had contributed to Hillary’s campaign. The suit was dropped when Stone apologised. Guo is known for his strong arm tactics in China. Anyway I don’t think any of the players involved are exactly covering themselves in glory.

    1. @Aries Radke#6 yes he has. Even after leaving the white house & trump’s side. It’s something else.

    2. Part of Trumps SNAKE Pit caught.I just want the King Cobra,and the rest of his little ones he hatched off gone from America’s White House Gone,.

  3. Every time right wingers get caught doing something illegal, “it’s a political hit job” like Trump saying “it’s a witchhunt”. Regardless of the evidence against them. Next they’re going to start saying that Trump should pardon Bannon. Trump is a criminal pardoning other criminals.

    1. phillip hargrove Every time anyone gets caught doing something illegal, they claim innocence, it’s human instinct. I don’t recall politicians of either party admitting any wrongdoing. The Democrats failure to admit where they went wrong in 2016 is the reason I’m stuck with Biden or wasting my vote by writing in someone worthy of the job. Either way you get a lying, conservative, corporate shilling, warmongering old man as President. It’s not just the Republicans that are horrible, they both leave a lot to be desired imo…

    2. I could care less about Bannon. But I think you are wrong associating President Trump with this. Being familiar with a group, as you well know, like Antifa, dosen’t make YOU a criminal.
      As for President Trump being a criminal, wrong, they investigated him every way possible to associate him with Russia, but THAT didn’t happen. He WASN’T guilty.

    3. @Rita McCartt-Kordon No. In conclusion, Mueller’s report said it _Did NOT EXONERATE him_ It did NOT say he was not guilty

  4. Just like Trumpwhen caught being a thief liar Steve starts on the sing and dance Its a Witch Hunt..I say Lockem up

    1. @foxdesignbuild foxdesignbuild Look up all the arrest warrants for pedophiles and child porn on BOTH sides of the blackmailed isle. Go to Patriot Hour. He has a list. YOU can check them out yourself. No, I’m not a parrot. I’ve been on the RCC’s pedophiles for years.

    2. @SkyHook lol..how many of trumps onnet circle are in jail? Now compair that with Obama inner circle. But sure the Democrats are crooked.

    3. Jim Yarbrough In answer to your question… The senior members of the Democratic Party are in it for the money 💴. I have no faith in their ability to manage the Federal Government in any way… Just look at California and other Democratic controlled States.

    1. Funny how he calls it a political hit job, his buddy’s administration lmao, who’s after who? Even this DOJ can’t hide it.

    2. G Richard allow me to correct your statement, his interest isn’t in tearing down the government, rather the deep state. Seems you are farmiliar with Bannon and would acknowledge the difference.

    3. @Snoman 687 I don’t use QAnon terminology. Bannon called himself a Leninist while talking to a New York University academic who had written extensively on communism and the former Soviet Union. When asked what he meant he said… “Lenin wanted to destroy the state and that’s my goal too. I want to bring everything crashing down and destroy all of today’s establishment.”
      Much of Lenin’s political style and strategy has be adapted to present conditions. Lenin depended on constant conflict and drama. He deliberately used shock tactics. He was nearly always abusive and combative, and often downright vicious, not because he was personally vicious – he wasn’t – but as a technique “calculated to evoke hatred, aversion, contempt.”
      Lenin used the word “elite” frequently and he despised so-called “experts” who claimed a monopoly of knowledge.
      Lenin promised people anything and everything. He contradicted himself just to cause chaos. He offered simple solutions to complex issues. He lied unashamedly. Lenin was the godfather of post-truth politics.

    4. G Richard “QAnon terminology” ?
      Again, the goal is the destruction of the deep state, the establishment. Ironically, very little has to be done by the opposition as demographics will solve part of the problem as the elder establishment is retired due to age. As far as tactics are concerned, it would be naive to believe others aren’t using some form of political warfare to protect the deep state and their own interests.
      We’ve come to a point in American politics that working together on behalf of the people simply is not happening, and honestly has had minimal effect for the working class. The next generation of the left has endorsed Sanders and they fight hard for their values, values the right does not share, now is the time for the right to meet them with equal force and yes things may get dirty along the way. I’d like to believe at some point the two sides can find a middle ground again, where compromise can be found, but first we have to clean house.
      Appreciate the dialogue G,

    1. @jackflash Yes, but, and I feel like I’m repeating myself here, just bear with me, what if I voted Democrat, called myself a liberal and AT THE SAME TIME engaged in say, forcible suppression of the opposition? I know, wierd, right?

    2. @Bob Young I’m sorry, I thought it was the last president that used the FBI to spy on the opposition. My apologies. I’ll stop my wild imagination from now on. Hold up…!

    3. @Ip sissimus There have been claims, yes, and they may yet prove to be true, but there are also claims that the alleged spying was to determine if the Republican candidate was being influenced by a foreign power. It would still be spying, of course, but done so in the interests of “national security.” And that, you know, is an expression that forgives any number of sins.

    4. @Bob Young Absolutely. Sometimes in my more chemically-induced states I wonder what the world would look like without the FBI, and it’s beautiful. No insiders tipping the cartels off, for a start. Ha!

    5. @Ip sissimus It’s getting harder and harder to determine who’s zooming who, as the Queen of Soul once said.🙄

    1. @unknown unknown Hillary Clinton does not matter, she does not have any power. If she did wrong, yes she should be prosecuted, but trump and his goons are in power, whether do does affect everyone in the United states, and is destroying any credibility the United states has in the world. He is destroying a country and idiots like you are letting him while crying about someone who doesn’t matter at all.

    2. @unknown unknown why no one from their administration or foundation got locked up? Oh ok stfu. We’re still counting Trump associates indictments lol. You freaking idiot

  5. Fun fact: The Trump administration has the most people indicted and convicted out of all US Presidents combined. Scary.

    1. Kyle Dubs
      You’re absolutely right!
      🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺TRUMP 2020🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺
      Never forget: Putin loves us. 😉

    2. @Kyle Dubs you’re confused. It’s understandable. The Bengazhi investigations, that ended in NO arrests or charges while Republicans were in control, were the fake investigations. The impeachment, and associated investigations, are real, and have resulted in GUILTY PLEAS, FFS.

    3. @Lyle Gardner haha! Your confused my feathered friend. Wiping hard drives and deleting emails is cool tho right? Allowing americans to die and not taking any responsibility. And blaming a video that made unrest in cairo not bengazi. But yea im confused. Watch the entire trials my man. The truth is in there.

  6. _”This is the United States and we can do whatever we want!”_
    That’s right, Steve, and in our case we arrested you for fraud. Any questions?
