The Department of Homeland Security, at the urging of President Trump, awarded a $400 million contract to a company affiliated with Steve Bannon’s "We Build the Wall" effort.

We're demanding answers.

President Donald Trump was caught in a precarious position when one of his top former aides and former campaign CEO was indicted for fraud after running a fake effort to build the wall on the southern American border.

Over a year ago, the Pentagon inspector general began looking into a suspicious $400 million contract given from the Department of Homeland Security to the construction company linked to Bannon’s group. The funds came at Sen. Kevin Cramer (R-ND) and Trump’s urging

Keep an eye on the weather sis!

23. An extra find, just for you

They arrested a guy name Tim Shea for being involved.
The Treasurer of that fund is ...Andrea...??? Shea.

When Barr was gonna fire the SDNY AG, he was gonna put in a guy named.....Tim Shea.
That Tim Shea was previously used to keep Flynn and Stone out of jail by doing some lawyerly things.

So is it the same Shea doing all of this, or is it maybe his son doing the fraud, or.....
I gotta find out which,

25. HuffPO has a lot of detail I am reading

found this:

Trump claimed on Thursday that he doesn’t “know anything about the [We Build the Wall] project at all,” and his press secretary, Kayleigh McEnany, said that he “does not know the people involved with this project.” But last August, Amanda Shea — Timothy Shea’s wife and a member of We Build the Wall’s leadership team — said on Twitter that she had met with the president and discussed the project in detail.

“Had the pleasure of meeting with @realDonaldTrump personally last week in the Hamptons, answered very specific questions about the wall @WeBuildTheWall built,” she tweeted. “[Trump] said I really know my stuff & our group needs to bid the whole wall

6. All the more reason he wants to remain in power...

He thinks he can't be indicted...


Bahahahaaa! JUSTICE = It's coming for youuuuuuu, Donald!

7. the layers of corruption in this maladministration are staggering

[malaise]

14. Look for prime time news tonight pointing out that the two scandals today

Bannon and the tax returns are proof of what Obama was speaking about last night.
This may turn out to be the biggest whipping in presidential history.

[spanone]

15. I would hope so.

8. You know, I used to work for a government contractor

We weren't allowed to eat lunch that clients paid for, receive holiday cards (much less gifts) from clients, or even put our personally stamped mail in the outgoing mail box. And we had to be qualified out the wazoo for our jobs. The head of our agency went down over possibly squirrelly expense reports.

It really chaps me to see millions of dollars flung about to crooks who couldn't do the job if they had any interest in it and certainly have no experience doing it.

[Botany]

9. But Trump said today that he didn't know about the "We build the wall" group and he hasn't seen ....

.... Bannon in a long time. I can't believe that Trump would lie to us.

16. He's a professional liar.

10. Another reason to CANCEL DHS.

It served it's purpose after 911.
The clock has run out on it now.
Just funneling money to Bannon in Italy.
And we need to look at whom accepted campaign donations this year from Bannon and 'we build the wall'.

11. Isn't This The Company...

...that did shoddy work on an overpriced piece of fence that is already falling apart?

18. Fischer Industries is the only ND Contractor that won a "bid" & they

had never attempted a project like the Wall.

They are a road & bridge builder as I recall. Not small time for the State of ND, but as for outside of their area, in unfamiliar landscape like AZ/TX, they would never have qualified on a legitimate Fed level.

This was shoved thru & have no doubt a Pay-to-play scheme.
In fact the whole trumped up need for the wall & the imprisonment of border immigrants was nothing but a fabricated Reason to Launder $$$$.
And Donald Trump was chosen to sell the Reason to the American people & gov't.
Everyone from unqualified contractors to prison systems, to shoddy child care facilities were rewarded.

The entire purpose of Trump's illegal 2016 fake win, was to launder cash for the enrichment of his fellow criminals.

IMO...

Kevin Cramer is a Repub from NDakota. I have no doubt this was the scam.

30. Here's the scoop on Fisher Company...exactly what we expected

31. The whole family was deep into criming, with a past like every other mob family

I am so glad to see the lid blown off this case & that it reaches to RW Sen Kevin Cramer (crooked from the Gov all the way down) And the fact that this contract was granted at Trump's request is even better.

ND was once a proud Blue State. It's been corrupted by Republican, NRA gun humpin, KKKristians.

I grew up there & know of the Fischer Sand & Gravel holier-than-thous. This story pleases me, but doesn't surprise me at all.

Be sure there are many along with the Fischers & Sen Kramer who are pacing in a panic as to what & whom else will be made public.

This is a level of crime & corruption that reaches the uppermost echelon of them all.
And SDNY, USPS InvestIgaters, & FBI ramed a stake through the the heart of it.

They will all be exposed & most will be finished. Including Donald Trump & his family.
