Steve #Bannon, ehemals einer der Top-Berater des ex-#USA-Presitoddlers #Trump, hat sich in #NewYork der Polizei gestellt - ermittelt wird wohl wegen dessen Spendenkampagne zur Unterstützung des #Mauer-Baus nach #Mexiko. /MS

Mehr zu den Hintergründen von #WeBuildTheWall gibt's hier. Neben dem Vorwurf der Veruntreuung erwartet Bannon im Oktober noch ein Urteil wegen "Missachtung des Kongresses" im Zuge der Aufklärung des #Jan6th-Putschversuchs. /MS lawandcrime.com/high-profile/a…
Die Vorwürfe gegen Steve #Bannon und #WeBuildTheWall sind saftig: Geldwäsche und Verschwörung zum Betrug.
Vom damals-gerade-noch-Presitoddler #Trump gab es zwar einen Gnadenerlass für Bannon, aber nur auf Bundesebene - die Staaten können weitermachen. /MS

Since Twitter seems to be @RepMattGaetz preferred medium, our group of FL military families decided to tweet our unanswered ?s about his role in diverting $2B in funds meant for the troops to Fisher Industries, now under investigation w the @DoD_IG. THREAD/
Background: In 2019, @RepMattGaetz wrote to Trump urging him to declare a nat'l emergency, allowing diversion of defense $ to border, despite FL bases' dire need for $ to repair serious hurricane damage affecting readiness/health.

More: The bulk of the $3.6B diverted defense funds went to one contractor: Fisher Industries, a GOP donor w/ legal problems, scant experience in border construction & designated "unqualified" by Army Corps of Engineers. @USACEHQ

Since there’s a lot of talk around #Texas building its own #borderwall after @GregAbbott_TX announced his plans, I thought it would be a good opportunity to go over what @jinatx and I found last year via @texastribune @propublica

Part of the problem is a lot of it is privately owned along a winding river.
Fisher built 3 mi on the banks of the Rio Grande. More than a year later, it still has serious erosion issues (disputed by the builder) and is at the center of lawsuits.

Some of the funding came from a private fundraising effort. But last August, some of the fundraisers for #WeBuildtheWall were arrested on fraud charges. #Trump pardoned Steve Bannon, his former advisor, but for the rest, the case is ongoing.

NEW from me + @BrandyZadrozny :
Pro-Trump operatives, some who were behind #WeBuildTheWall, coordinated those viral #StopTheSteal Facebook events.
Facebook shut them down.

Facebook blocked #StopTheSteal from its search, so today's #StopTheSteal events found a new way to go viral on far-right Facebook:
Pro-Trump operatives from previous hashtag campaigns like #WeBuildTheWall used other groups to push users to #StopTheSteal.

The "Stop the Steal" Facebook group was littered with calls to take up arms and a civil war.
350,000 people joined Stop The Steal, and promoted real-life events, before Facebook shut it down.
Its growth was not nearly as organic as it seemed.

One mistake by a likely Russian FB account lit a match that illuminated a mountain of evidence.
The account was an admin in a PA for Trump group from 2016 thru this month.
This swing state story from @snopes comes just days from #ElectionDay.

The mistake made by the likely Russian account, an admin in a Pennsylvania for Trump Facebook Group, was that it appeared to have accidentally liked the page Молекулярная диагностика 2020. This was the only Russian page out of hundreds of page likes.

1/ It appears that the Twitter account @BrianKolfage is no longer available.
Kolfage, @SteveKBannon, and two others were charged last week by @SDNYnews and @TheJusticeDept "for their roles in defrauding hundreds of thousands of donors" for #WeBuildTheWall.

2/ Kolfage is still active on Instagram, just in the last 24 hours posting public videos on IG Stories showing family at what appears to be their home.
He said in an Instagram comment late last week that he intends to hold a press conference over the next several days.

Heading to the new "We Build the Wall" border fence today in El Paso. What do you want to know about it? And what does this piece of wall symbolize to you?
Almost done. Paved Border Patrol road also going in. #WeBuildTheWall #ElPaso
The U.S boundary as marked by the green sign through the wall. #WeBuildtheWall #ElPaso
@coryiniowa @DontTreadOnUS @LovesRemo @SafiyahNoor1 @arthur_affect @TaraRoss @david_greenland 1) Have you ever bothered to ask anyone why they support the President? Let me tell you why I do. I had a gorgeous beautiful talented daughter she was my world my everything. My entire life has always centered around my children. I have two sons and I had one daughter.
@coryiniowa @DontTreadOnUS @LovesRemo @SafiyahNoor1 @arthur_affect @TaraRoss @david_greenland 2) I grew up in Ohio and I left Ohio in 1996 for several reasons but the main reason was because there simply were no jobs here. After NAFTA failed to deliver the jobs and prosperity promised by Bill Clinton I watched in real time as my state began to decay and fall apart.
@coryiniowa @DontTreadOnUS @LovesRemo @SafiyahNoor1 @arthur_affect @TaraRoss @david_greenland 3) As the lines grew at the unemployment office & we discovered that the "job training programs" that democratic politicians had spent a year bragging about were just false front offices with micro-fiche machines listing 10 year old job openings. (I still wonder where the $ went)
You might have been too busy watching paint dry or spoons evolve or something to have noticed, but Steve Bannon and fake medal aficionado @SheriffClarke held a #WeBuildTheWall rally and 110 people showed up.
There are of course duplicate tweets on the topic.

We downloaded tweets containing Clarke/Clark, Bannon, and rally from the last 10 days, yielding 1463 tweets from 1352 accounts. Most of the traffic is from 3/10 through 3/13, but there's a bit of activity back on 3/6.
Retweet network for tweets about the rally. Actually, there are (as of the time we pulled the data) two disconnected networks; one centered on @gatewaypundit promoting the rally and one comprised of accounts critical of the rally.
