If you are following along for 2020, you have Wayne LaPierre swindling 2A supporters, Jerry Falwell Jr. snookering evangelicals, and Bannon bilking border hawks. Conservatives should be very angry. You got used.

The post office arrested Steve Bannon. Yes, the post office can arrest people. The USPS: Carrying your mail and carrying out justice.

By Nicole Nareaa Aug 20, 2020, 1:34pm EDT


The US Postal Service is out to deliver justice against former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon.

It may not have come as a shock that Bannon, often described as a grifter, was allegedly caught up in a scheme to defraud donors to a crowdfunding campaign that promised to construct a wall on the US-Mexico border.

But it was a surprise to some that the USPS, the same agency that President Donald Trump has tried to cripple ahead of an expected surge of mail-in ballots in November, carried out his arrest on a $28 million megayacht called Lady May off the coast of Connecticut Thursday morning:

@SawyerHackett
The Postal Service has police? That’s really pushing the envelope.

These aren’t your everyday mail carriers: They are part and parcel of an elite police unit known as the US Postal Inspection Service (USPIS), which has been fighting crime since the mail fraud statute was enacted in 1872. There are about 1,200 such postal inspectors who carry weapons, make arrests, execute federal search warrants, and serve subpoenas. All agents must complete a 16-week training program that covers firearms, physical fitness, and defensive tactics. In 2019, they made 5,759 arrests and 4,995 convictions related to postal crimes, according to USPS.

“They say, ‘Oh, you’re a lot like the FBI.’ And I like to tell them, ‘No, the FBI is a lot like us,’” one USPIS agent says in a recruiting video:

They often team up with other federal, state, and local authorities to investigate mail theft, fraud, identity theft, narcotics cases, opioid investigations, lottery scams, and more. Investigations sometimes span years.

In Bannon’s case, they collaborated with Audrey Strauss, the acting US attorney for the Southern District of New York. It’s not immediately clear why the USPIS got involved since neither of the charges levied against Bannon — conspiracy to commit money laundering and wire fraud — appear to be directly related to the mail, and the USPIS declined to comment on their investigation of Bannon, which is ongoing.

The inspector in charge of the New York division of postal inspectors, Philip Bartlett, said in a statement that Bannon’s indictment should send a message to other fraudsters: “No one is above the law.”

“The defendants allegedly engaged in fraud when they misrepresented the true use of donated funds,” Bartlett said. “As alleged, not only did they lie to donors, they schemed to hide their misappropriation of funds by creating sham invoices and accounts to launder donations and cover up their crimes, showing no regard for the law or the truth.”

Clearly, the USPS doesn’t just sell stamps — it also acts to stamp out crime.

most of the people i see sharing it are those 'resistance twitter' folks like claude taylor and dena grayson using links to shady lefty blogs.

but that is he was involved in something shady and still may be indicted.

I'm no better than the rest of you.

this is my personal q anon.


www.engadgethd.com - the other stuff i'm looking at

This will fulfill my indictment cravings for the next week or so.

No one will let us in.

>No one will let us in.

Like they have a case enough to convict you with no faulty cracks in it. And a pundit was speaking on how this case is NOT a complicated one.

Looks like Trump just validated a key Stormy Daniels affair allegation — by complaining about sharks

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/08/20/trump-just-validated-key-stormy-daniels-affair-allegation-by-complaining-about-sharks/

key swipes below lol

“They were saying the other night: the shark! They were saying, ‘Oh, sharks! We have to protect them,’ ” Trump continued. “I said, ‘Wait a minute, wait.’ They actually want to remove all the seals in order to save the shark. I said, ‘Wait a minute. Don’t you have it the other way around?’ That’s true.”

“I’m not a big fan of sharks, either,” Trump said in Scranton. “I don’t know, how many votes am I going to lose? I have people calling me up: ‘Sir, we wanted to — we have a fund to save the shark. It’s called save the shark.’ I say no, ‘Thank you. I have other things I can contribute to.’ ”

With that, and without apparently realizing it, Trump offered strong evidence that the former porn star who alleged she’d had an affair with him in 2006 was telling the truth.

Trump, though, has repeatedly insisted there was no affair. His comment about the sharks, though, undercuts that claim.

“The strangest thing about that night — this was the best thing ever,” Daniels said. “You could see the television from the little dining room table and he was watching Shark Week and he was watching a special about the U.S.S. something and it sank and it was like the worst shark attack in history. He is obsessed with sharks. Terrified of sharks.”

“He was like, ‘I donate to all these charities and I would never donate to any charity that helps sharks. I hope all the sharks die,’ ” Daniels continued. “He was like riveted. He was like obsessed. It’s so strange, I know.”

lmao

Like, he has to be well-read to fuck up this magnificently, he's doing it on purpose. Goofnugget rants like these totally shit on that thought process for me.

Plus that detail isn't exactly a "he's got a mole shaped like Lincolns head on his left buttcheek" secret. I bet a bunch of people know he hates sharks.

right? to prevent shit from connecting Trump.....or something? somehow the bad guy will escape justice.
