Jimmy Dore：史蒂夫·班农因边境墙欺诈案认罪以避免牢狱之灾。该项目承诺100%的捐款用于边境墙建设，但班农被指控将资金挪作他用，并通过第三方洗钱输送给项目总裁。 Steve Bannon：首先，我感谢Jimmy Dore的邀请。其次，针对边境墙案件，我认为这是一场政治迫害。他们无法找到任何实际受害者，最终只有一个捐助者损失了43美元。我之所以认罪，是为了避免未来无休止的诉讼和高昂的法律费用，因为在纽约，针对像我和特朗普这样的人，永远无法获得公正的审判。他们会一直纠缠你，直到你破产。我为自己参与建造了边境墙感到自豪，这堵墙阻止了人口贩卖和性交易。我认为纽约的司法系统被操控，总检察长和地区检察官可以随时以任何理由起诉你，并长期拖延案件。我呼吁对纽约总检察长和地区检察官进行调查，他们对特朗普的起诉是出于政治动机。特朗普赦免了我，因为他知道这是假的。我将去边境墙，从那里做节目，因为我为自己所取得的一切成就感到骄傲。

Shownotes Transcript

Steve Bannon pleaded guilty on Tuesday to defrauding donors to a private effort to build a wall on the U.S. southern border, ending a case the conservative strategist decried as a "political persecution."

Bannon, a longtime ally of President Donald Trump, pleaded guilty in state court in Manhattan to one count of scheme to defraud, a low-level felony. Spared from jail as part of a plea deal, he left court saying he "felt like a million bucks."

In this conversation with Jimmy, Bannon insists the prosecution was politically motivated and his relatively light sentence proves how weak the case against him was.

Plus segments on Donald Trump initiating negotiations to end the Ukraine War and an interview with former Seattle City Council member and Workers Strike Back founder Kshama Sawant.

Also featuring Kurt Metzger and Stef Zamorano!
