Kris Kobach Wants to Build the Wall His Way, and Says He Has the President’s Blessing
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/25/us/politics/kris-kobach-wall-funding.html?login=email&auth=login-email

Fresh from his defeat in the race for Kansas governor, Mr. Kobach, the former Kansas secretary of state, is involved in an audacious new project — a privately-funded wall along the Mexican border.

Mr. Kobach, a hard-line ally of President Trump known for his strident stand on immigration, has long advocated a tough border policy.

He is currently an advisory board member of “We Build the Wall Inc.” a nonprofit group that has collected more than $12 million toward the effort. Mr. Kobach says the group has obtained the presidential seal of approval for the private initiative.

5. Not directly of course, have to launder it first, but wouldn't surprise me at all.

2. Of course MF45 blessed it,

He probably got his cut also.

3. Mobsters don't like it if they are cut out of their share

Either Kobach got some of that money or he and the other mobsters will now seek to destroy Bannon.

4. YES, and Eric Prince and Sheriff Clarke were in on it as well!!

To help promote his crowdfunded wall-building effort, Kolfage recruited Trump-world all stars like Steve Bannon; former Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach; pitcher and the bane of Rhode Island Curt Schilling; Blackwater founder Erik Prince; and ex-Milwaukee sheriff David Clarke to join the group’s advisory board. In January, Kobach told the New York Timesthat We Build the Wall would “be hopefully breaking ground within weeks.” That timeframe has been pushed back on a few occasions. In March, Kolfage said they would “start breaking ground” in April, but he also told Politicothat “we should be turning dirt on this thing by May 1, June 1 at the latest.”

6. But wait, there's more.

The scheme's board includes Trump's inner circle and other rightwing miscreants... Erik Prince, former CO congressman Tom Tancredo, Sheriff Dave Clarke and former pitcher Curt Schilling.

8. Hmm, wonder how much "take" Donald got.

You know he was in on the scheme.

Hell, he might have instigated it.

9. 'The Process' keeps grinding away

10. "This is almost as good an idea as my Trump University and Trump Foundation"

[crickets]

14. Kickety kickin'

[SWBTATTReg]

15. Then RICO all of their A&&es NOW. Enough of this pussyfooting and pampering. Good grief, justice

is indeed blind in this Country, where a person may shoplift $5 of stuff, and then find themselves almost immediately in jail for an extended amount of time. How much did these thugs steal? Millions. At least in KS, koback didn't win his election. Maybe the folks in KS are seeing through this fraud?

16. Kicking for visibility

And loving it!

[Proud Liberal Dem]

17. Didn't Trump tweet about it at the time

I feel like he probably would have?

[tclambert]

18. Isn't there video of an eight year-old girl climbing over that wall?

And a pro rock climber climbed over it in FIFTEEN SECONDS, no rope, no grappling hook, just sticky hands and feet like a gecko.

I used to joke about Republicans believing people who walked weeks across a desert would give up when faced with a wall that would slow them down for ten minutes. Looks like I was nine minutes and forty-five seconds off.
