WH statement on Bannon's indictment

Kaitlan Collins @kaitlancollins (CNN)

WH statement on Bannon’s indictment and involvement in what prosecutors say was a wall scheme: “President Trump has not been involved with Steve Bannon since the campaign and the early part of the Administration, and he does not know the people involved with this project.”

Sure, the media, most academics, and election-law experts had mocked and dismissed Kobach’s claims about voter fraud, but Kobach pressed eternally forward, deaf to fact-checkers, as one can be when every media profile notes your degrees from Harvard, Yale, and Oxford. At Bedminster, his ideas had gained currency at the center of power. Aides opened the giant white doors for the secretary of state and the president-elect. Kobach beheld the staircase where Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner took their wedding photos, and entered a clubhouse where the initiation fee alone ran upward of $300,000. Anything must have seemed possible.

Trump emerged from his meetings with Kobach convinced that he would have won the national popular vote if it wasn’t for voter fraud, and when the media asked how he explained the missing 2.8 million votes, the White House pointed to Kobach for the proof. Then Trump soon appointed Kobach, along with Vice President Mike Pence, as co-chairs of a presidential commission to investigate election integrity. Kobach’s plan was easy to discern: The commission was to be the front through which a cabal of shadowy Republican activists and oft-debunked academics, backed by misleading studies, laundered their phony voting-fraud theories into a justification for real-world suppression tactics such as national voter ID and massive coast-to-coast electoral-roll purges.

4. Kobach quoted as saying POTUS said project has my blessing and you can tell that to the media

Kyle Griffin @kylegriffin1

Just noted on @MSNBC: Kris Kobach told the NYT in 2019 that Trump supported this 'We Build the Wall' effort. Kobach was quoted as saying that the president said this project has my blessing and you can tell that to the media.

It's an actual rogues' gallery of Trump best buddies.
Trump's lies and denials would be laughable if they weren't so corrupt.

23. Notice how Trump's not standing up for all the MAGA donors who got ripped off ????

Do his supporters realize they are getting doubly ripped off???
And that Trump, whether in on the scam or not,
is NOT helping them get their money back ???????

Hello Magats, ever feel like you're being taken advantage of???

33. How could he forget that unshaven face?

[SergeStorms]

34. "Since the campaign". Excuse me!

The reason Bannon got fired was because Trump was jealous of Bannon getting a Time Magazine cover about being the "brains" behind Trump. Bannon looks like a 100 year old catcher's mitt.

36. What happened to his right nostril?

He may only be able to use his left nostril for the lines of white stuff.

[SergeStorms]

37. I think he got it caught...

35. In related news...

Trump was caught this morning trying to brush his teeth with a pair of scissors by Trump senior aide Hope Hicks, who entered Trump's bathroom to iron the zipper flap on his pants.
