And now, it's Steve Bannon's turn

Top Donald Trump ally Steve Bannon is set to appear in a New York court Wednesday in connection with allegations that he defrauded people who donated to a campaign to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.

Bannon, a former White House senior adviser, is scheduled to appear in front of Judge Juan Merchan for a pretrial motion hearing at the New York Supreme Criminal Court, where Bannon's lawyers are expected to argue that the case should be thrown out.

It’s not that I hope they throw the book at him. I hope they throw the whole freakin’ LIBRARY at him. Including the building, the basement, all the streets and sidewalks leading up to it, and all the rush-hour traffic (AND big-rig trucks) on all those streets.

Will the judge give both days off to appear at the other's trials? Will both appeal if they aren't allowed?

Oh, the tangled web we weave when first we begin to speak Republicanese.

This thing didn't happen until after Chump was out of office. Presidential pardons never work for future indictments and that's what this is. Steve Bannon will answer for this. Also I believe someone else from this scam has already gotten the plea bargain. So no deals for Stevie-Boy, he goes down.

Bannon’s trial in the “We Build the Wall” case will start May 27, 2024, right after the former president is scheduled to stand trial in the same Manhattan courtroom in an unrelated criminal case.

Bannon, 69, pleaded not guilty last September following his indictment on state money laundering, conspiracy, fraud and other charges. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg took up the case after Bannon’s federal prosecution was cut short by a Trump pardon. Presidential pardons apply only to federal crimes, not state

But I do not care. He should fry in Hell or somewhere equally as painful because he is the worst of the worst. Total scum opportunist cresting havoc attempting to avoid paying for his crimes. This pos is all in and we cannot forget how dangerous that makes him.

He Ruined this project too: Biosphere 1&2, "an American Earth system science research facility located in Oracle, Arizona. Its mission is to serve as a center for research, outreach, teaching, and lifelong learning about Earth, its living systems, and its place in the universe."

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biosphere_2

"The purpose was to make the project more businesslike, it seems. Allen and his team were swiftly ejected and a new CEO was literally helicoptered in: Steve Bannon. Yes, that Steve Bannon. Investment banker, future right-wing operator and Donald Trump strategist. As a metaphor for the fate of the planet, it could hardly be more apt."
