broke the story that led to the arrest of Steve Bannon, Brian Kolfage and two others for wire fraud and money laundering on the Build The Wall campaign. They threatened to sue Grant, and he pushed even harder. Now they’re in handcuffs. Awesome

1. Stay safe, Grant!

Thanks for being patriot but don't drink any tea.

2. IF Trump knows he's leaving before the election

Every penny of the money his campaign has will find its way into Trump's personal bank accounts.

3. Kobach must go, too.

Guy is gross.

4. Must Read

Isn't Kolbach very close to Pompeo?

5. There's some good reading here!

Kolfage is a Purple-heart decorated war veteran and triple-amputee who lost an empire on Facebook of literally “fake news” after the 2016 election.

Kolfage’s GoFundMe page touched a nerve amongst Trump supporters during the President’s government shutdown and while nearly suspended, was subjected to a mass opt-out.

“That’s why I’m sending it to you. I back what’s right,” said the anonymous source who elaborated in a phone call about the concern that the money wasn’t being spent on a wall. “That money was supposed to be for the wall. I hate fuckers that take money under false pretense. Kolfage is using the wall money to fly private, range rovers boats, etc…” [snip]

The Post reports that Kolfage would not comment today either and that the ire of his followers is rising after numerous blown dates to begin constructing his wall. Kolfage’s project only became a possibility only after estranged former White House senior advisor Steve Bannon, Kobach and ex-Milwaukee Sheriff David A. Clarke got involved.

In early 2017, Kris Kobach became best known as the person whom President Trump appointed to lead a dubious voter fraud commission that made no significant findings. He is the former Kansas Secretary of State. Kobach got held in contempt of a federal court for being an atrocious lawyer in early 2018. The Kansas Supreme Court ordered a grand jury to investigate his handling of voter registration in 2016 after a citizen-initiated process. He then won the GOP gubernatorial nomination by a razor-thin margin in a primary that his Republican opponent openly accused him of cheating to win the recount, only to lose the general election by 5-points. Kansas political experts call Kobach “Democrats best hope” to win an open U.S. Senate seat next year.

Highly recommend reading the rest. It's tasty.
