I don't think it took a whole lot of investigation!

[Dread Pirate Roberts]

Not to denigrate the work of the Southern District of NY but I don't think there was a lot of digging that needed to be done to uncover the We Build The Wall non-profit as a scam. Even the dim-witted MAGAT's were onto something over a year ago...

Why no updates on the status of the wall? I have a feeling this is a scam.

I mean, who could have foreseen that a fine upstanding citizen like Mr. Kolfage would be involved in something as shady as this?

Considering the online history of Brian Kolfage, the question is a valid one. As the Daily Beast reports, Kolfage “was a prolific operator of hoax pages on Facebook, and money he raised in the past to help veterans’ programs in hospitals never actually went to those hospitals.” The vet, who lost three of his limbs in a rocket attack in Iraq in 2004, founded sites including FreedomDaily, which ran headlines like “Obnoxious Black People Lose Their Minds When Victoria Secret Models Say This 1 Word On Live Video.” The site was shuttered after it was sued for misidentifying a Michigan resident as the driver of the car that killed a protestor in the Charlottesville riot.

And just a little lack of progress raised some eyebrows among Neanderthals...

But after four progressless months from We Build the Wall, Trump supporters who donated to the crowdfunding effort want to know where their money went. A woman asked on the We Build the Wall Facebook page: “I am very disappointed in you Brian Kolfage, where are the progress photographs?” “Why no updates on the status of the wall?” one user asked on Twitter. “I have a feeling this is a scam.”

But it's good to know Mr. Kolfage has a good defense! Here's a tweet to Grant Stern of thesternfacts.com that hasn't aged well....

Piss poor reporting. The boat was ordered in 2017, manufacturing began in 2018 and the boat delivered in August 2018. Its all document on my instagram with time stamps, dates and images. I hope you like being sued, because I'm going to buy a bigger boat after my attorney owns you.

go ahead and look at my instagram www.instagram.com/Brian Kolfage scroll down to 2018 you scumbag

Well I guess that settles it! Of course Mr. Stern had a couple of simple questions that I'm sure the investigators from the U.S. Attorney's office asked like do you own any land, did you get any building permits, are there any engineering plans, did you file for any permits....I'm sure he had some good answers. Now we can just hope that the trail leads to other stellar members of the Trump cult...

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.

Thank God Trump is draining the swamp, right?
