After it was revealed that former Trump advisor Steve Bannon, along with three other people, was arrested for allegedly defrauding donors, the left celebrated the arrest of yet another individual in the President’s orbit. But apparently, this supposed victory isn’t enough.
Bannon and his colleagues are accused of using funds from a crowdfunding campaign called “We Build the Wall” to enrich themselves. The indictment alleges that these men “orchestrated a scheme to defraud hundreds of thousands of donors, including donors in the Southern District of New York.”
On Thursday, the Huffington Post published a piece titled, “Inside Steve Bannon’s Alleged Scheme To Fleece Trump Voters Who Wanted A Border Wall” in which they intimated that not only did Trump and his associates have a relationship with the campaign, but somehow knew about the alleged fraud.
But where’s the beef?
Where is the evidence that anyone in Trump’s circle knew about the fraud? Why aren’t any of these people under investigation? The fact that people close to the President interacted with these individuals does not prove that they were in on the alleged con job. In the end, the content of the article adds up to a whole lot of nothing on a sesame seed bun.
The reality is that HuffPo provided absolutely no evidence that anyone on Trump’s team was involved in the alleged fraud. The piece was nothing more than an implied accusation devoid of merit. However, the agenda here is obvious, isn’t it? The corporate media wants to score more cheap political points against the President even if it means publishing deceptive articles like this one. But are they fooling anyone?
