11/6/20: Bannon SC continued for 3 wks to retain new counsel.
10/20/20: previous continuance, Bannon:

8/31/20: Judge warns Bannon's Co-D, Kolfage, that she can institute gag order:

Bannon gets an SC continuance in October due to his counsel's prior engagements in SDNY, and today that counsel withdraws.

(And anyways, an associate can appear on behalf of lead counsel as a stand-in, just for a status freaking conference. Sigh.)

Bannon: "With a first wave of “voluminous” discovery due on 9/29/20 prosecutors hope to extract emails and other files from phones, and they expect to know by the next hearing whether more time will be needed to defeat encryption. "

8/28/20: DOJ letter re Kolfage (Bannon Co-D) extrajudicial statements:

Backing up a bit...

8/19: "Bannon's nonprofits set up in Rudy's building in Aug 2019. Here's the IRS paperwork that @SaysDana was able to pull up."

@SaysDana 9/10/20 Guo assoc: "Mr Giuliani, King of NY, Trump's personal lawyer!

Breaking the news of the revolution, Mr Guo and Mr Bannon's influence is too great!

Meet you at the Lutheran Society at 10:15 tonight!"

@SaysDana Bannon was granted travel to VA, MD, and CT:

@SaysDana "Bannon cannot travel internationally, or use private jets or boats without express permission.

Pretrial services does not object to the agreed-upon conditions of release."

@SaysDana "The parties agree to a bond of $5 million, secured by $1,750,000 by financially responsible persons and travel restrictions, the prosecutor says.

Bannon will* await trial in the D.C. area.*"

Has Bannon been breaking his travel restrictions?

Seriously, I'm asking.

10/15/20: Steve Bannon’s and Rudy Giuliani’s Chinese billionaire Guo Wengui’s assets have been frozen by a NY state judge:

Bannon photo bomb with Rudy (and the guy in the next tweet), who tells everyone to meet at "Lutheran society at 10:15 tonight! (9/10/20)".

Did Bannon travel to NY? With permission from judge?
A month later, some of Guo's assets (yacht, NY apt), frozen by a NY judge (unrelated matter).

(Have to feed the kiddies, I will come back and pull up the docket to see if there was anything granting leave to travel to NYC or elsewhere. 🤓✌🏼)
Just setting here. Audrey Strauss.
Should probably tie this one in, first:

8/19/20: "NYAG and SEC reviewing: Fundraising at Company Tied to Steve Bannon and Guo Wengui Faces Probe"

Guo's Chase and Wells Fargo Accounts frozen.

8/20/20: Steve Bannon Arrested/Indicted

"The FBI was examining Guo’s work with Bannon before the private placement, FBI agents had been investigating Guo and $ used to fund his US media efforts for 6+ months, prosecutors in US attorney’s offices in Manhattan & Brooklyn were involved in probe"

"GTV Media identified Bannon as one of several directors, including hedge-fund manager and China critic Kyle Bass, John A. Morgan, and Darren Blanton, founder of Colt Ventures

Darren Blanton's name appears 62 times in the Senate Intel Russia report"

"In light of today's reporting that RU IRA used propaganda targeting African Americans in 9/15, in their efforts to sway HRC's most reliable voting block away, this is worth a re-read:

Breitbart, Bannon, Flynn, Prince, Mercer, Colt Ventures, Iadonisi"

"10/16: Bannon introduced Bruce Carter to Darren Blanton, founder of Colt Ventures, to help raise $

Blanton's name appeared recently - listed as a director, along with Bannon, of Guo Wengui's GTV Media, which is being investigated by federal authorities"

"[The] exec director of the Trump campaign committee, said invoices show Colt Ventures was paid for a ­soc-media project that involved video-content creation and “millennial engagement” in the campaign’s final month (10/16)" 🚩🚩

Trump, the campaign at least, is wrapped up in this (per above).
"Prince knew a host of Trump campaign officials and went on hunting trips with the president’s sons, according to a memo of the FBI’s interview with Steve Bannon,"

The "hunting trips" are a ruse."

Called it in AUGUST: "Notice Trump says he hadn’t had “dealings” w/ Bannon in a long time. He did NOT say they hadn’t spoke recently. That’s intentional, stick a pin in it...."

This is all coordinated. Rudy, Trump, Bannon "Chinavirus"

Big Trump donor Bernie Marcus helping to spread around Steve Bannon's propaganda on Fox 5/15/20:

Witting or unwitting?

Bernie Marcus is the donor that told Trump he needed to bring Bannon back. Sheldon Adelson is going in on this PAC, Preserve America, too.

h/t @NDProblemSolver

Bernie Marcus was pushing for Bannon, then Trump disavows Build The Wall on 7/12/20. Was Trump tipped off that indictments were in the pipeline? 🤔

OK, to Pacer....
10/19: The defendants (Kolfage, Bannon, Badolato, *and others*) knew the Feds were poking around their bank accounts in October 2019.

They began to take evasive measures. Donors might not know about that, *but Bill Barr likely would.* 👇

(8/20/20) SDNY Indictment: Bannon, Kolfage, Badolato, Shea

"Leaders Of We Build The Wall...Campaign Charged w Defrauding 100s of Thousands of Donors

Brian Kolfage, Stephen Bannon, and Two Others Alleged to Have Funneled 100s of Thousands of Dollars From the Org to Kolfage; All Four Ds Allegedly Profited..."

(Courtlistener's not paywalled.)

Bannon Docket:

courtlistener.com/docket/1746218…
Steve Bannon's status conference (SC) continued to 12/2/20 (so the shitbag can retain new counsel).

courtlistener.com/docket/1746218…
8/20/20: "Travel RESTRICTED to SDNY/EDNY/DDC, MD, EDVA & DCT, **Points between RESIDENCE and SDNY for travel TO COURT**; Surrender travel docs (& no new apps); PT supervision as dir'd by PT Svcs; D to be released on OS; Remaining conditions to be met by 9/3/20. No int'l travel."
I did a global search for the word "travel." There were no other refs to Bannon's travel in the docket (up to today's date).

Bannon was allowed to travel from his home to SDNY for *travel to court.*"

No mention of "traitor meetings in swanky NY apt with Rudy, OK." 🙃👍
A sealed document was entered in Bannon's case on 10/14/20.

(Superseding indictment? No idea; speculating of course.)

courtlistener.com/docket/1746218…
Link to Guo's case where some of his assets were seized in NY.

And we can't leave the gopig party @GOP out of all the fun.

GOP fin chair Broidy Pleads Guilty to Foreign Lobbying

"A former fund-raiser for rump admitted to a role in a covert campaign to influence the admin on behalf of Chinese & Malaysian interests."

"Chinese billionaire Guo Wengui, who also goes by Miles Kwok, fled to the United States four years ago after learning an associate had been arrested on corruption charges."

Bannon, Guo Wengui. NOTE the dates. Coincidence? 🤔
(Those posted weird, sorry! 😆 Dates are one day apart when you click thru.)

Check when Greenberg Traurig reg’d #FARA for Turkey. Did Rudy take that business there for Flynn? Was Rudy & Turkey pkg deal? 🤔 When did Rudy go to GT?
"In 1/16, Giuliani moved to...Greenberg Traurig, where he served as the global chairman for Greenberg's cybersecurity and crisis mgmt group...In 4/18, he took an unpaid LOA when he joined Trump's legal defense team. He resigned from the firm on 5/9/18."

You all do realize that #MAGA invested their reputations and possibly their money in #Hydroxychloroquine and now their heads are EXPLODING knowing that their own #KAG president is NOT taking it. ImageImage
Q heads are pissed. Image
The kook doc that Rudy pushed on Fox viewers, touting the miraculous benefits of HCQ for Covid, he’s a World Net Daily-truther who thinks Dr. Fauci should be indicted. ImageImage

They’re not confirming how or when Trump got infected with #Covid.
I don’t like how cagey Trump’s doctor was being. Trump’s not the average citizen, he’s @potus and we have a right to know about his medical condition and any factors that could affect it. The cageyness with the oxygen questions are red flags.
Trump’s doctor says he’s 3 days into Covid diagnosis. Trump went to a fundraiser at his club in NJ, on 👀 *Thurs,* where they offered a “businessround table” event to donors for $250K PER. Trump went to this fundraiser with Covid. 👇

Does anyone believe this foolishness?

Meadows said they found out that #HopeHicks was positive *after* they took off in Marine1 for the fundraiser.

Like, who does that? "Hey you guys, since we're making polite small talk on the way there: I HAVE #COVID."

SERIOUSLY? Stop it.
Someone leaked to Jen Jacobs at Bloomberg.

Otherwise, they would have CONTINUED. WTAF? WHO DOES THAT?
Now, they won't say WHO (TRUMP) approved to go forward with the smash-and-grab in NJ:
