20 minutes? Danngg, that felt like less than five. The amount of hours I am spending chasing every news story about the cluster that is 2020 is truly too damned high! Anyone else suffer from production losses due to this phenomena?

Kolfage pleading guilty to, you guessed it, fraud:
In a letter filed in the federal Southern District of New York, federal prosecutors said that in addition to the attempt and conspiracy to commit wire fraud charges, Kolfage also agreed to plead guilty to federal charges of lying on his 2019 taxes.

According to prosecutors, Kolfage first claimed to have earned $63,574 that year and then filed a correction claiming $300,000, but officials claimed Kolfage's income for that year "were materially in excess of that amount."

Kolfage collected the funds despite claiming that he wouldn't earn "a penny in salary or compensation" for the massive crowdfunding effort, but federal prosecutors alleged he and others with the organization arranged a scheme in which he secretly took more than $350,000 from the donations by using nonprofits and shell companies.

Steve Bannon, a top aide to former president Donald Trump, was also charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud and money laundering. According to the indictment, Bannon had received at least $1 million from the supposed nonprofit. In the last hours of his presidency, however, Trump issued a pardon for Bannon.

How did I miss this thread?!?

Trumpwall? A gofundme to wall out the Trumpsters?!? Or encircle them with a wall? Or maybe a massive, impenetrable wall around Mar-a-Lago? Where do I sign over my life savings for that??

Defrauding Trumpsters who were trying to pay for The Wall really feels like a victimless crime to me. If nothing else, they should get credit for community service against some portion of their sentence.
